blooming equally as well as when planted in the 
garden. 
Especially desirable as a foliage plant, making a good 
bed alone, but particularly effective as the center of a 
group of foliage plants. Cannas should not be planted 
until the warm weather sets in. If planted too early 
the bulbs are apt to rot. 15th of May is fully early. 
Queen Charlotte. 
This is beyond question the finest bedding Canna yet 
introduced. The plant is sturdy and compact: the 
blossoms stand well above the handsome green foliage; 
each main flower shoot is succeeded by many side 
shoots, thus ensuring an unbroken succession of flowers. 
The center of the petal is of a beautiful blood-red, and 
edge of petal to the depth of inch, purest, brightest 
canary-yellow. Very much superior to Mme. Crozy in 
every respect. 
75c. each.

blotched with orange scarlet, light green foliage. 
Alphonse Bouvier. One of the best, bright crimson 
flowers, of immense size.

yet introduced, foliage veiy nearly approaching the 
banana. 
Charles Henderson. Splendid compact dwarf growe r 
bright crimson flowers, very desirable. 
Childsii. Yellow, spotted with scarlet. 
Florence Vaughan. Yellow, matted with scarlet. 
Francois Crozy. More dwarf than Mme. Crozy, which

dered with a narrow edge of gold. 
Price, above'varieties, 15c. each; $1.50 per dozen.

massing in beds; it is unsurpassed as a decora¬ 
tive plant. Plant about May 10th.

NEW FRENCH CANNAS. 
Dwarf Habit.

postage. 
The new Dwarf French Cannas are con¬ 
tinuous bloomers, producing large trusses of 
beautiful showy flowers from early summer 
until late in autumn. Their great beauty,
