THE TWELVE BEST STANDARD CANN AS -Continned. 



Eifaadale. 4 ft. A handsome variety with dark 

 maroon and green foliage. Erect and compact. The 

 spikes of bloom are very large and of fine form: of 

 bright cherry-red color, forming a fine combination 

 and harmony of color with its foliage. It is one of the 

 best of its type and cannot fail to please. A vigorous 

 grower, very erect in habit and produces its large 

 bright heads'of flowers very freely. 



Golden Beauty, 2-^' ft. bne of the finest of its color 

 and a superb variety. The trusses are of large size, 

 are held well above the foliage and remain in per- 

 fection a long time: florets of large size, a clear, bright 

 golden yellow with only a suggestion of marking upon 

 the lower petal. A vigorous grower, of dwarf habit 

 and an exceedingly free bloomer. It is a variety well 

 worthv of the highest praise. 



?1ADA>IE CROZY. 3--.< ft. The flowei^ of this well 

 knawn an i very popular variety are of a dazzling crim- 

 son-scarlet, narrowly bordered with golden yellow, and 

 are produced in the' greatest profusion the entire sum- 

 mer, in large trusses set well above the foliage. It is 

 of vigorous growth yet rather dwarf in habit: the foli- 

 age is of a rich, cheerful green and very massive. 

 The flowers are produced on large branching stems, 

 and are very closely set. A remarkably free bloomer 

 and all things considered, still one of the best for bed- 

 ding purposes. 



PAL'L BRl'.AIM. -i-.^ ft. Exceedingly attractive and 

 one of the most abundant bloomers of all. The folia£:e 

 is a beautiful deep green edged with purple, and the 

 plant of dwarf habit. The flower heads are of the 

 largest size, borne well above the foliage and the color 

 is vpry distinct and conspicuous: an intense, brilliant 

 orange scarlet with peculiar satiny surface, producing 

 a gorgeous blaze of color in the sunlight. One of the 

 most decorative and ornamental, contrasting finely 

 n-ith other varieties. 



Rose Lniqae. 5 ft. Dainty and unique in color, 

 being deep clear rose, particularly soft and pleasing. 

 Trusses and florets large; a vigorous grower and a 

 constant and free bloomer. Very eflfective when mass- 

 ed with white -flowering plants in the foreground. 



QUEEN CHARLOTTE, 4 ft. One of the very finest 

 of all the gilt-edge varieties. It is well furnished with 

 heavy, bluish-green foliage, the enormous flower spikes 

 towering grandly above the foliage m a beautiful 

 bouquet of very "large florets of perfect form. The 

 petals are velvetv blood-red, broadly banded with 

 bright canary yellow. It is a pei-petual bloomer and 

 one of the finest decorative plants. Superb for groups 

 and masses, but should be planted alone to retain its 

 individualitv. See illustration. 



SOtV.D'A>iTOI>'E CROZV. 3}.<ft. Perhaps the finest 

 of all the gilt-edged varieties. The fiowers are of the 

 largest size with well rounded petals, which are brilliant 

 crimson-scarlet edged with a broad band of rich golden 

 yellow. Of vigorous growth and a very free bloomer. 



QUEEX CHARLOTTE. 



Nearly every flower stalk branches, thereby producing 



two perfect large spikes of flo wers. It endures hot sun? 

 uninjured and is exceedingly rich and efi!ective eithei 

 planted singly or in mass. See ilustration. 



souv. D A^"IOI^'E crozt. 



SL'>BEA>1S. 23^ ft. The best dwarf Canna 

 yet produced and is without a defect. The in- 

 iividual fiowers are of the largest size, averag- 

 ing over Jive inches across, and are remarkably 

 endm-ing in textm'e, an early, constant and pro- 

 fuse bloomer. For groups, masses and bedding 

 with other Cannas of contrasting color, Sun- 

 beams is without a peer, owing to its large 

 trusses of bloom, splendid finish, correct habit, 

 and clear, brilliant color, as well as the pro- 

 fusion in which its large, solid heads of bloom 

 are constantly produced. The plant is remark- 

 ably dwarf and compact rendering it of great- 

 est Value for pot culture, tubs, vases, etc. The 

 most useful variety of the entire list: for there 

 are plenty of good reds, both tall and dwarf, 

 while Sunbeams is the only fine yellow variety 

 of dwarf habit. See illustration.'
