A new plant for winter blooming. It will lie bard to 
name a plant now in cultivation which uan equal It in — 
beauty and good qualities. It liasa most Is-aut.iful fern-like

the shape and nearly the si/.e of Sweet Pens and borne in great 
clusters of twenty to forty. Tile plant Is a free and rapid 
grower, beginning to bloom in three or four weeks from 
cuttings, and continuing for years. It is easier to grow and

easy to grow, or one that thrives and blooms under all con¬ 
ditions as does this charming S wallflower.

Gappa, Star 1891. 
, . As a pot plant for blooming, both summer and winter, 
this Ganna has already become recognized as the most valu¬ 
able and important flowering plant among those who know 
it. It is utterly impossible to have a plant which is more 
easily grown or more effective in bloom. The enormous 
panicles of flowers are borne continually, even on plants 
which are only a foot or two in height, and in small pots is 
indeed marvelous, and the intense color of the blossoms 
makes such plants objects of great beauty. 20c. each. 
Re\V poll age Gappa, RaipboW 
A most magnificent novelty. Each leaf is beautifully 
variegated with pink, scarlet, orange, grey, green, etc. In 
habit of growth it is superb. It hardly reaches the height 
of three feet, and is compact, with numerous leaves, which 
are wide, wavy and graceful; in this respect more charming 
than any other Canna. Aside from its beauty and usefulness 
as a garden ornament, it is still grander in pots for the win¬ 
dow, and makes a specimen plant which nothing, not even 
Fancy Caladiums, can surpass. 25c. each ; 3 for fiOc.
