Canna. ) This is a South American member

first water, the stock of which, as yet, is both 
scarce and of the highest commercial value. 
The illustration conveys a good idea of the 
habit of growth, which is decidedly Canna- 
like. The flowers, how r ever, are entirely 
distinct, being of purest possible 
white, heavy in texture like an 
Eucharis, and infinitely more fra 
grant — so much so that a single 
flower will fill a whole greenhouse 
with its delicious orange-like fra- 
grance. They are produced in 
great numbers, and continuously, 
for more than two months. It is 
so closely allied to the Canna 
family that frequently the flowers 
strongly resemble those of the 
Canna. Price, 25 cts.
