PETER HENDERSOJN & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE— PLANTS. 



The Newest and Most Distinct Canna 

 as yet Introduced. 



GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT. 



An entirely new and distinct variety. It is a " sport " from a 

 scarlet flowered sort, and instead of being only mottled or spotted 

 like all other variegated sorts, in addition to the usual spotting or 

 speckling, it is strongly and distinctly striped like a camellia. 

 The variation in the striping is remarkable in the highest degree. 

 In some petals the coloring matter runs in even bands of red and 

 yellow, others on the same stem will be all red, some flowers will 

 be entirely red, and even some spikes will have only a small pro- 

 portion of yellow coloring while the others on the same plant will 

 show remarkable variegation The red stripes on the face of the 

 petals are generally backed by yellow and the yellow by red. In 

 rare cases there may be plants taat for a time may not show any 

 variegation. In the whole range of flowering plants it stands a 

 unique figure and is worthy of the name we bestow upon- it. Height 

 3 feet, green foliage. The cut above can only give but a vague- 

 idea of the striking effect of this variety. A plant covered with 

 spikes of these flowers is indeed a novel sight.
