MADAM CROZY DWARF CANNA. 



Formerly cultivated principally for its imposing stateliness, 

 but in its dwarf forms vrLth. their crowded spikes of greatly en- 

 larged Gladiolus-like flowers, it is a great favorite on account of 

 the beauty of its l)lossoms.^ There need be no trouble in raising 

 Cannas from seed. If the seed is filed off a little on one side and 

 soaked in hot water for a day, abnost every one will sprout. It 

 blooms the first season. Mixed. Pkt., 10 seeds, 3 cts. 



•'Florence Vaiighan" Canna. One of the finest yellow-spot- 

 ted red varieties. Pkt., 7 seeds, 5 cts. 



CENTROSEMA GRANDIFLORA. 



A beautiful, hardy, perennial vine, called also "Look at-me- 

 vine" and "ButterflV Pea." It is a low, gracefixl climber, reach- 

 ing a height of seven to eight feet the first season and bearing 

 beautiful clusters of six to eight inverted pea-shaped flowers, one 

 and one-half to two and one-half inches across. These are of a 

 rosy violet hue vnih white markings through the center, while 

 the backs of the blossoms and the buds are pure white, making a 

 striking contrast. Arranged with their foliage, they are fine for 

 cutting. Pkt., 20 seeds, 4 cts. 



CALIFORNIA "GOOD VENTURE" CANNA. 



^ Splendid, large-flowering, dwarf French varieties from two to 

 four feet high ; flowers with four and five petals, with colors clear 

 yellow, deep carmine, salmon, and shades of scarlet bordered 

 with gold. Some with light and some with dark foliage. Splendid 

 mixture ; no better offered. It will be sure to bring some new 

 varieties. Pkt., 8 seeds, 6 cts. 



Bronze-leaved Canna. A mixture of the dark-leaved varie- 

 ties. Pkt., 7 seeds, 5 cts. 



CASTOR BEAN (Ricinus). 



With its stately growth, ornamental foliage and showy fruit, 

 this makes a grand plant for the center of a sub-tropical bed, or 

 standing by itself, or in a clvimp on the lawn. They grow rapidly 

 and easily from seed, and if directions are followed there is no 

 reason why anyone cannot succeed with them. I offer a mixture 

 of two of the newer and most desirable varieties, Zanzibarensis 

 and Cambodgensis. In the former the leaves are some light 

 green, others coppery and purplish brown or bronze in color. 

 Those of the latter are of a bronzy-maroon color, with dark red 

 veins, while the stems are ebony. Pkt., 8 seeds, 4 cts.
