Par excellence. Large flowering French and Giant 
Lyanna eea. Orchid Flowered, named kinds only, unexcelled for 
quality by any seed in the world. Saved especially for me from the largest 
and finest collection of magnificent named varieties on this continent. Un¬ 
questionably one of the finest of bedding plants for the American climate, 
and equally good as a pot plant for summer and winter. All through Europe, 
where the climate is not suitable, it is grown in this way; also largely in ali 
botanical gardens. Packet, 15 plump, sound seeds, 8 c.; oz., 25c. 
HOW TO PLANT.—Canna Seed should be cut (at one of the points) about 
1-16 of an inch and then soaked in warm water 24 hours. If treated this way 
and sown in the house blooming plants may be had as early as roots. 
J$ew Giant Flowering Caladium. 
Produces gigantic snow-white flowers in the greatest profusion. 
In general appearance this plant somewhat resembles C. Escu¬ 
lentum, but is entirely distinct, being much larger and grander and 
vastly superior in every way. The flower represents a giant Calla, 
and remains open three days and nights; first two days it is of the 
purest snow-white, the third day it changes to a pale yellow. It is 
of the easiest culture, enduring adverse conditions well, and the 
leaves attain a great size, even in small pots. Give it rich soil, the 
richer the better, and plenty of water. The plant can be taken up in 
the fall and wintered in the house or cellar. 
Strong, well-rooted Plants.—First size, 15c. each; 2 for 25c. 
The flowers are very fragrant. 
r' _ IP ;„„ This great orchid flowered Canna 
Ioanna £\ing £1 umbert. received a gold medal at St. Louis. 
I am making a specialty of this Chnna, and am offering it as low if 
not lower than any one, having a good 
stock of sound roots. 
The flowers are immense, and the 
mammoth trusses have no equal. 
Brilliant, rich orange scarlet.
