JAMES WOOD. 



We have pleasure in offering 

 this fine new Canna, raised by 

 Alexander Marshall, gardener 

 to Mr. John B. Dutcher, Pawl- 

 ing. N. Y. , and was named by 

 the latter gentleman in honor 

 of his friend, Mr. Jarnes Wood, 

 of Mount Kisco, N. Y., Presi- 

 dent of the Eastern New York 

 Horticultural Society. The 

 color is very distinct, being a 

 true burnt-orange, the shade 

 so popular at the present time. 

 It is handsome in foliage and 

 habit, blooms most profusely, 

 grows in ordinary seasons 

 about four to four and one- 

 half feet high. The substance 

 of the petals is one of its ex- 

 celling merits ; the flowers, 

 though large and of fine finish, 

 hold on better than most Can- 

 nas, and so withstand the sum- 

 mer winds. These two latter 

 features are very pronounced 

 in this fine new Canna. Price, 

 50c. each, $5.00 doz.
