ERIANTHUS. Ravenna 

 Qrass. 



A very ornamental grass, 

 thriving in sunny situations, 

 in light, well-drained soils. 

 It forms a handsome broad 

 clump of graceful, dark, 

 bronzy-green foliage, and is 

 admirable to plant in con- 

 nection with other grasses.

CANNA. 



e Queen Charlotte— The acknowledged queen of gilt- 

 edged Cannas. When seen singly or in groups, the 

 brilliancy of " Queen Charlotte" dazzles the eyes 

 with its brilliant scarlet-crimson, with broad, gold 

 border separate and distinct, yet blended as only 

 Nature can blend and harmonize. The intense 

 velvety crimson of the ground color, melting into 

 the broad band of gold, reflects upon the eye in 

 different tints and tones until its defining power is 

 lost in the feast of crimson and gold presented to 

 it. Out of 4 in. pots, 15 cts. each ; $1,50 per doz. 



C. Alphonse Bouvier—This is a grand Canna. It is a 

 very luxuriant grower, growing considerably taller 

 than Mad. Crozy, In good ground the plant will 

 grow 6 feet. The tips of the shoots are surmounted 

 by immense clusters of bright crimson flowers of 

 the very largest size, and nothing can exceed their 

 brilliancy, a large plant in full bloom sometimes 

 having on as many as 30 or 40 of these large,

brilliant clusters of flowers. It is entirely distinct 

 from the Mad. Crozy, and as the color is absolutely 

 different, one will not conflict with the other in 

 any way. Potted plants, 15 cts. each ; |1.50 per 

 doz.; smaller plants, 10 cts. each ; $1 per doz. 

 !. Nellie Bowden— New. Fine bright yellow, having

}. Madame Crozy— Flowers flaming scarlet bordered 

 with gold, a marvellous combination of colors, 

 having all the beauty and delicacy of the rarest 

 orchid. This Canna is one that everyone can suc- 

 ceed with, as it will grow in the open ground as 

 readily and easily as the common variety of 

 Cannas. Potted plants 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doa.; 

 smaller plants, 10 cts' each ; $1 per doz.

It would not be advisable in any of the above cases to shorten the distances ; better lengthen them out a 

 little than lessen them. 



Rule — In finding the number of plants or trees that a piece of ground will hold, determine the distances 

 you are to set them apart ; pace your piece of ground to find how many rows you will have ; also, find how 

 many it will take for each row ; find the product of the two, and you have the number that you want
