Canna Seed. 
Par excellence. Large flowering French and 
Giant Orchid Flowered; named kinds only, un= 
excelled 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. Unquestionably 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 all botanical gar¬ 
dens. 
Packet, 15 plump, sound seeds, 10c.; 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 twenty-four hours. If treated 
in this way and sown in the house blooming 
plants may be had as early as roots. 
WILD CUCUMBER. 
Echinocystis Lobata. 
This is the quickest growing climber in our 
list Grows wild, self-sown, in many parts cf 
the’West. It will grow 30 feet in one season. 
It is thickly dotted over with pretty, white, 
fragrant flowers, followed by an abundance of 
ornamental and prickly seed pods. Fora trellis 
or pillar no annual vine is more chaste, and it 
will cover an old tree, or an unsightly building. 
Packet, 5c.; l A oz., 15c.
