CANNA FLACCIDA. 
A new Florida Canna with flowers so laree and lovely that few vari- 
eties in cultivation can compare with it in delicate beauty, not even the 
magnificent French Cannas which have created such a sensation for the 
past season or two. Its blossoms are from a rich golden yellow to a 
pale straw color, are over two inches in diameter the narrowest way 
and five or more inches the widest way. The petals are very delicate, 
with edges beautifully crimped, the blossoms resembling the Iris flower 
in shape and appearance more than a Canna. The plant is dwarf in 
height, — from two to four feet. — but grows vigorously and blooms pro- 
fusely all summer. Price, 25c. each, 3 for 50c. 
CRINliM KIRKII,

and can be wintered in the cellar if the soil is kept nearly dry. Its large,

wet. It can be kept growing and blooming, at intervals, the year round
