HENRY A. DEE2R, Philadelphia, Pa. 



THE YELLOW CANNA, R. WALLACE 



Two New Fancy Caladiums. 



The two varieties are entirely distinct from anything we have ever 



offered, showing a delicacy of coloring and tracing not found in any 



other varieties. 



Hildegard Nehrling. Leaves very large, ground color creamy white 

 with well defined ribs of an indian lake color, the entire leaf being 

 marbled with a deep grass green, which markings become very dense 

 at the edges ; the centre of the leaf is beautifully suffused with a deli- 

 cate mauve rose. 



Lord Derby. The young leaf when first unfolding is of a trans- 

 parent delicate mauve color with creamy yellow ribs and viens, this ] 

 ground color as the leaves mature becomes very intense and the ribs, 

 which are very distinctly defined, become a pleasing deep green, 

 while the entire leaf is densely veined and reticulated as well as 

 edged with a broad border of the same color. 



30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



Fancy Caladiums. 



Fancy-leaved, in twenty-five choice named varieties. (See retail 

 catalogue for descriptions.) $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per 100. Choice 

 mixture, $1.25 per dozen ; $8.00 per 100. 



New Yellow Calla. Mrs. Roosevelt. 



A distinct new variety, admirably adapted for out-door cultivation, 

 where it may be handled in the same manner as a Dahlia, Gladiolus or 

 other summer-flowering bulb. Planted in the open border in the 

 spring, it will produce its handsome, large, pale-yellow flowers very 

 freely, and in the fall may be stored in a dormant condition ready to 

 again plant out in the spring. It is a remarkably strong-growing va- 

 riety, and, even when out of bloom, its rich, dark green foliage, which 

 ■is distinctly and freely spotted andblotehed 1 with .white, makes it at all 

 itimes a conspicuous and most attractive subject in the garden", 



Price, large, strong bulbs, which will flower freely this season, 30 

 ^cents each ; $3.00 per dozen ; $17.50 per ioq. . .

CANNAS. 



Newer Varieties and Sorts of Special 

 Merit. 



The Yellow Canna, R. Wallace. 



A good free flowering yellow Canna has long been desired and we 

 believe that R. Wallace comes nearer the ideal than any variety yet 

 offered. In color it is a pleasing canary yellow with exceptionally 

 large flowers, these are carried well above the foliage in upright well- 

 branched trusses. The plant is of strong vigorous habit, of uniform 

 growth, with massive dark green foliage and attains a height of 4% 

 feet. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



New Canna Venus. 



One of the prettiest soft colored varieties that has yet come to our 

 notice. In our trial grounds the past season it attracted considerable 

 attention and favorable comment ; the flowers are of fair size of a soft 

 rosy-pink color with a pretty mottled border of creamy yellow. As the 

 old flowers drop very quickly as soon as they become wilted, new ones 

 taking their place immediately, the plant always presents a clean, fresh 

 appearance. It grows from 3 to 4 feet high with fresh green foliage. 

 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. 



King Humbert. In this grand new Italian Canna we have. a combi- 

 nation of the highest type of flower with the finest bronze foliage. 

 Color brilliant orange-scarlet with bright red markings ; foliage rich 

 coppery-bronze; 5 feet. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Mont Blanc. Almost a pure white, with large, well-shaped flowers, 

 contrasts well with the high-colored sorts; 3% feet. 20 cts. each; 

 $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Louisiana. A strong, vigorous grower, attaining a height of 7 feet, 

 green foliage and vivid scarlet flowers. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



Bronze Canna. "Black Beauty.'' 



In the dark leaved varieties none are so effective as Black Beauty. 

 Its foliage is of the richest bronzy-purple shaded with black, the edges 

 being peculiarly crimped. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
