 planted the nej:t spring.

THERE has been nothing offered in recent years that possesses such 

 real and intrinsic value as these new Cannas. They are not only 

 among the very finest plants for bedding, but will be in great demand 

 by those who desire something choice and rare to vary the monotony of 

 outdoor gardening. They also make elegant plants for house culture. 

 The following varieties embrace all the very best of late introduction, 

 all (except those offered this year for the first time,) having been award- 

 ed medals at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago. Remember, my 

 French Cannas are not puny green plants, started from single eyes, but 

 good, strong, dry roots, such as will surely give the best satisfaction. 

 QUEEN CHARLOTTE. 

 The brilliancy of Queen Charlotte dazzles the eye, until crimson turns 

 into glistening gold, and gold into shadowless crimson and purple — tints 

 for which there are no names and no ideas — color effects which can be 

 conceived only by the eye, but never expressed by the pen. The intense 

 velvety crimson of the ground color melting through the massy gold 

 band reflect upon the eye until its dividing power is lost, and there is 

 only an imperceptibly mingled mass of crimson and gold. The blos- 

 soms stand well above the handsome bright green banana-like leaves, 

 flowers large and closely set, though not enough so to be crowded. 

 60 cents each; 3 for $1.00; 5 for $2.00. 

 GRANDIFLORA ALBA ROSEA.. 

 This is an entirely new departure in Cannas. I understand that it is 

 to be advertised extensively as a White Canna, and it is undoubtedly 

 the closest approach to white ever dreamed of. Its color is a creamy 

 white, shading to deep pink towards the centre. It bears enormous 

 spikes of flowers, a foot in height and 20 inches in circumference, crowded 

 with flowers open at one time, standing out very conspicuously. 

 40 cents each; 3 for $1.00; 7 for $2.00. 



FLORENCE VAUGHAN. 



The Spotted Canna. Color, clear lemon yellow, spotted with bright 

 red, accurately illustrated below. The size and form of the flower is by 

 far the best introduced to date, and unquestionably the best mottled sort* 

 25 cents each; 3 for 60 cents; 6 for $1.00.
