Q A WW A (Indian Shot). Nat. Ord., Marantacem. 



This stately species of plants is highly ornamental in flower-gardens, 

 producing a rich and oriental effect by their large, broad, massive foliage, 

 and rich crimson. and .scarlet flowers. Though perennial, if sown early, 

 they will make luxuriant growth, and bloom the first season. In late 

 autumn, they should be carefully potted, and allowed to mature their bloom 

 in the greenhouse or parlor, and afterwards preserved in a cool, dry cellar. 

 In spring, again start them into growth ; and replant them in the open air, 

 last of May or first of June. Before sowing, soak the seed in water at 125 0 , 

 for about twelve hours. 



Canna nigracans. This variety excels, in the rich tints of its stem and 

 leaves, either of the others, reminding us of the rich coloring of 

 some of the Dracaenas and Marantas. • Its growth is rapid, its 

 aspect stately, — attaining the height of six or eight feet, — and 

 stands in the centre of a group, entirely unique and distinct from 



any others we have named . , . . . . . . n. .25
