XV. Stapelia and Huernia. 



The Stapelias can be shipped the whole year, even in the winter, if well protected against the cold, and they are 

 offered in good and sound specimens. As to their scent, they are generally better than their reputation, and the most striking 

 kinds are almost scentless.

XVI. Canna Roots. 



In order to offer something special to our friends with whom we are in regular business connection, we have had 

 a colored plate made (29 x 18 inch.) of 20 of our most beautiful Orchid-flowering Cannas representing the flowers 

 in their natural size or rather below it. These varieties are marked * in our list. This beautiful plate will lie sent free of 

 charge to all our customers, and to others on receipt of 6d. 



l\'e only send out strong , sound and undivided roots grown in the open ground, and not delicate and poor specimens 

 obtained by Ui natural forcing in the hot-house, a good number of which is invariably destined to perish. Our Cannas will therefore 

 be always preferable ei'en at higher prices to any others. They are packed very carefully and travel quite safely even to very distant 

 countries; we wish it, homelier, to be understood that they travel on buyer's risk. Canna Roots can be forwarded from October to 

 May, as far as the temperature pei mils it.
