Galla. 
It Is oiir good {OTtune to have come into possession of 
this most valuable of all Callas. The following’ facts will 
convince anyone of its great superiority over the old sort. 
It is of a dwarf habit and does not grow tall and scraggly 
like the old variety, but is strong and compact -with a great 
abundance of lustrous dark green foliage. It is a true ever^ 
bloomer, Its flowers appearing in great abundance both sum- 
mer and winter when grown in pots, or it will bloom pro- 
fusely all summer long In the open ground and being potted 
in September 'Will continue blooming without Intermission 
all winter. The same plant will grow and bloom for years 
without once ceasing, and the quantity of bloom which a 
good plant will produce is astonishing. It is estimated that 
six plants of the old sort will not produce so many flowers 
in the course of a year as will one plant of this new dwarf 
variety. A large plant is hardly ever without one or more 
flowers, and its dwarf, compact habit makes it a much more 
desirable pot plant than the old variety'. Its flowers are of 
large size and snowy white in color. AUin all it is one of the 
most desirable plants we ever offered. Plants of blooming 
size, 75. cts each; extra large, $1.00. 
Hardy pyretl^riin^s. 
In all the wide range of hardy yierennial plants, we know 
of none more strikingly beautiful than the Pyrethrum. The 
greatdlversity of color in both the single aud double varie- 
ties, together with their freedom in flowering, makes them a 
great desideratum. In color they range from the purest 
white, and clearest pink, to the deei>e8t crimson. It is a plant 
easy of cultivation, requiring a rich and well drained soil. 
They are perfectly hardy in any situation, and tlieir mat 
double blossoms which are produced freely in May', June 
and July, are in size and beauty equal to the flnest Chrysan- 
themums.

Gab^a, Star of 1891. 
(The Hverblootning Canna.) 
This year there has risen in the horizon of the floral world 
a Star, which will shine brightly in all future years, A very 
dwarf Canna, which will show bloom every day in the year, 
its flowers being borne in m?eat compact panicles often as 
large as a man’s hat, and of the most intense fire scarlet color, 
rayed and bordered with pure gold, is a novelty of more 
beauty and value than has been seen for many years— an en- 
tirely new departure— a new garden flower and a new per- 
S etual blooming pot plant of unsurpassed grandeur— in short, 
ne8tarof 1891- . „ « . 
As a pot plant for winter blooming, this Canna is a novelty 
of immense importance. It has already become recognized 
as the most valuable and important winter blooming plant, 
among those who know it. It is surely impossible to have a 
plant which is more easily grown or more effective in bloom. 
The enormous panicles of bloom which are borne continu- 
ally, even on plants only a foot or two In height, and in small 
pois, is indeed marvelous, and the intense color of the blos- 
soms makes such plants objects of the most effective b<^uty. 
We honestly believe it to be the flnest and most desirable or 
all winter blooming plants. A colored plate of it is shown m 
our catalogue of last spring, and a fine colored plate of a 
growing pot plant will be issued with the November May- 
flower. Fine plants, pot grown, for winter blooming, 76 
cts. each.
