« WARSCEIWICZIL dwarf, blood-colored. 



The Cannas are a stately species of plants, highly ornamental, pro- 

 ducing a very rich and Oriental effect by their large, broad, massive 

 foliage, terminated by racemes of crimson or scarlet variously-lobed 

 flowers. Though perennial in habit, if sown early, and kept growing 

 until May, and then planted out, they will make luxuriant growth the 

 first season, and expand their bloom. They can be preserved in a dry, 

 warm cellar, or under the stage of a green-house, through the winter; 

 and the second season will attain their greatest perfection. 

 CLARKIA PULCHERIMA, pure brilliant crimson.
