New I/arge Flowering Dwarf French Cannas. 



Grand New Orchid=Flowered 



CANNAS 

 /kistria °*> Italia 



Being an entirely new race of Cannas 

 and altogether distinct from anything 

 introduced heretofore, they have been 

 3* very appropriately called " Orchid- 

 gjjf flowered Cannas." 

 |£> Both varieties have flowers of im- 

 jtnir mense size, frequently measuring six 

 £p inches across ; the colors are distinct 

 and pleasing and the flowers are pro- 

 duced in the greatest profusion. They 

 have been described by the introducers as 

 growing 9 feet high, but in our own grounds 

 under liberal cultivation, they attained a 

 hight of about 6 feet. 



Italia is of a bright orange scar- 

 let with a very broad golden yellow 

 border; the flowers, which are pro- 

 duced on massive stems about 16 

 inches long, are set well above 

 the foliage ; the foliage is large 

 and heavy similar to that of the 

 Musa Ensete. 50 cents each ; 

 $6.00 per dozen. 



Austria is a counterpart of 

 Italia in every way, except in 

 the color of its flowers, which 

 are of a pure canary color, with 

 but a few traces of small red- 

 dish brown spots in the centre 

 of the two inside petals. 



35 cents each ; $3.50 per dozen. 



New Crimson Bedding Canna beaute poitevine. 



Out of over 150 varieties of Cannas grown by us the past season this variety stands pre-eminent 



in its class. It is of a bright rich crimson color, with erect flower spikes, growing about the same 



height as Chas. Henderson, and is an ideal Canna for bedding. It is constitutionally hardy, having 



stood the severe drouth better than any other variety, flowers standing the heat and intense rays of the 



sun without the slightest injury. It comes into bloom very early in the season, blooms continuously, and 



we have no hesitation in recommending it as an exceptionally good variety and as a brilliant bedder. Price, 



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