QUEEN CHARLOTTE 
CANNA. 
KKK KK KK KH 
rte: WARD, my neighbor, and a florist, grows many acres of the best NEW FRENCH 
CANNAS. When looking over his Cannas early in September (and a beautiful sight 
they were), “QUEEN CHARLOTTE” attracted my attention and admiration above 
all others. Among acres of new varieties, some costing $5.00 apiece, we considered this 
the best of all. Thesize of flower, the mass and centinuity of bloom surpasses all others 
(except perhaps * ITALIA” and “AUSTRIA,” which are too high-priced and scarce at present 
for comparison.) The single flowers are immense. The center is bright scarlet, each petal 
bordered with a broad band of pure golden yellow. Three feet high. I bought all the seed 
of this variety Mr. Ward has, and it is the first time seed of this kind was ever offered for sale. 
Another point is, more fine Cannas have been raised from the seed of ** Queen Charlotte” and 
“Mad. Crozy ” than all the others combined. Pkt. (8 seeds) 10 cts., 3 pkts. 25 cts., 1 oz. 75 cts. 
MADAM CROZY—Meda!l awarded, 4 feet. Immense flower heads of the deepest vermil= 
lion, gold bordered. Petals very wide and broadly rounded; foliage greem. This variety has 
done more than any other to give Cannas great popularity. Pkt. (10 sds.) 6c., 2 for 10c., oz. 40c. 
- CHARLES HENDERSON—Splendid, compact grower; 3 to 4 feet high. Flowers and spikes 
_ very large,and a profuse bloomer. Color dark crimson. Center of the flower marked with 
gold pencilings. One of the handsomest varieties. Pkt. (10 seeds) 6 c., 2 for 10 ¢., oz. 35c. 
eee &@-One packet of each of the 3 kinds 20 cents. 
Queen Charlotte—15 cents each, 2 for 25 cents, $1.25 per dozen.
