GRAND NEW FOLIAGE CANNA MUSAFOLIA 



This is the finest foliaged Canna yet seen, with enormous musa-like leaves, 3 by 5 feet, of a dark green, bronze-tinged color, the edge of 

 the leaves being beautifully banded with bronze-purple. In size and beauly of foliage it is a revelation, and makes a clump or snigle 

 specimen plant for the lawn which no other foliage plant can approach. It is a seedling of the well-known Robusta, but with foliage twice 

 as large as well as more graceful and wavy. Attains a height of 8 feet, beautiful and symmetrical at every stage of growth. 15 cts. each, 

 $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 



I am headquarters for Cannas, and upward of 25 acres are grown for me, representing at least 200,000 roots. Besides the 

 above, I can offer other choice varieties. Write for special price on large quantities. 



THE BEAUTIFUL FRINGED BLUE GENTIAN (Gentiana crinita) 



I take pleasure in offering seed of this beautiful hardy biennial for the first time (it has never been offered before). In the Garden 

 Magazine for December the announcement was made that a gold medal had been awarded to Mr. Thomas Murray for discovering the 

 seed and method of propagation of this beautiful Gentian, and I have made arrangements with him for his entire stock. 



Description.— Plants grow erect, branching ; height i to 2 feet ; bear flowers of a deep coerulean-blue, which are beautifully fringed 

 at the edges. 50 cts. per pkt., $1.25 for 3 pkts.
