CANNAS 



Avist 



fia and 



Ital 



1a 



Being an entirely new race of Cannas 



and altogether distinct from anything 



introduced heretofore, they have been 



) very appropriately called " Orchid- 



5 flowering Cannas." 



Both varieties have flowers of im- 

 mense size, frequently measuring six 

 ? inches across ; the colors are distinct 

 and pleasing and the flowers are pro- 

 duced in the greatest profusion. They 

 have been described by the introducers as 

 growing 9 feet high, but in our own grounds 

 at this writing (August 15th) under liberal 

 cultivation, they have attained but one- 

 half of that height, but are most vig- 

 orous and free in habit. 



Italia is of a bright orange scar- 

 } let with a very broad golden yellow 

 border ; the flowers, which are 

 produced on massive stems about 

 16 inches long, are set well above 

 the foliage; the foliage is large 

 and heavy, similar to that of the 

 Musa Ensete. 



Austria is a counterpart of 

 Italia in every way, except in the 

 color of its flowers, which are of 

 a pure canary yellow, with but a 

 few traces of small reddish brown 

 spots in the centre of the two 

 7 J inside petals. 



Good plants, ready about October 15th, 

 $1.00 each ; $10.00 per dozen. 



New Crimson Bedding Canna.— beaute poitevina. 



Out of over 150 varieties of Cannas grown by us this season this variety stands pre-eminent in its 

 class. It is of a bright rich crimson color, with erect flower spikes, growing about the same height as 

 Chas. Henderson, and is an ideal Canna for bedding. It is constitutionally hardy, having stood the 

 severe drouth better than any other variety, flowers standing the heat and intense rays of the sun without 

 the slightest injury. It comes into bloom very early in the season, blooms continuously, and we have no hes- 

 itation in recommending it as an exceptionally good variety as a brilliant bedder. Price, 50 cts. each ; $5.00 

 perdoz.; $35.00 per 100. 



New Cannas of Special Merit and Introductions for 1897. 



The following set of 28 varieties is a selection of the finest new sorts selected from 60 varieties, introductions of the 

 most prominent growers. All will be found decided acquisitions to our already long list of Cannas, and after careful 

 trials made on our own grounds, we have no hesitancy in recommending every one ot them.
