Indian 



Black Beauty. The handsomest Indian Canna yet in- 

 troduced, with large massive foliage of the richest bronzy 

 purple color shaded with black, the edges of the leaves 

 having a peculiar wavy margin. Where foliage effect 

 alone is desired, nothing richer or more handsome can be 

 found. 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen.

 Indian Canna with intense bright bronzy red foliage,

 about 5 feet high, is very uniform in habit and a stately 

 plant in every way. 75 cents per dozen ; $6.00 per 100.

Dahlia — Stobm King. 



Dracaena GodsefQ.ana. 



Undoubtedly one of the most striking new omament;al 

 foliage plants of recent introduction. The plant is of an 

 entirely different habit and appearance from all other 

 Dracaenas ; it is of free-branching habit, and throws out 

 many suckers from the base so as to form beautiful, com- 

 pact, graceful specimens in a very short time. Its foliage 

 is broadly lanceolate, 5 to 6 inches long, and 2 to 3 inches 

 wide ; of a strong leathery texture ; rich dark green color, 

 densely marked with irregular dots and spots of a creamy- 

 white, not unlike an Aucuba Japonica, of which the mark- 

 ings in the foliage strikingly remind one. It is a plant 

 which will undoubtedly be grown very extensively for dec- 

 orative purposes when it becomes more plentiful, as it is 

 very hardy as a house plant, equaling, if not surpassing in 

 this respect, the Aspidistra and Ficus.

Grand Neiv White Dahlia— " Storm. 

 King.'' (Blizzard.) 



Magnificent, perfectly formed snow-white flowers, borne 

 in the greatest profusion on long, strong stems, perfectly 

 suited for cut-flower purposes. The blooms are of medium 

 size, perfect in form, with petal slightly notched. In habit 

 it is similar to A. D. Livoni, but is a more profuse bloomer 

 than that free flowering variety, while the stems average 

 longer, and as the plant branches close to the ground, it 

 enables it to withstand winds and drouth better than any- 

 other variety. $2.50 per dozen ; $20.00 per 100.
