The Ever-Blooming Canna, Star of 1891. 
No Carnation of 
recent introduc¬ 
tion has given such 
perfect satisfac¬ 
tion as the charming “Nellie Lewis.” It 
is now the most popular pink sort grown, 
and the cut blooms are in greater demand 
than those of any other variety. 
- “The faintest flowers o’ fh 9 season 
Are our carnations, and streak'd gilly¬ 
flower's" 
•—Shakespeare, Winter’s Tale. 
It is a marvel of beauty. The flowers 
are of the largest size, most beautiful in 
form, and of a color never before seen in 
Carnations, being of the most exquisite 
shade of pink, with light splashes of car¬ 
mine that reflect upon the petals, light¬ 
ing up the whole flower in a most remark¬ 
able and indescribable manner. For 
decorative purposes and corsage bo- 
quets they are unsurpassed, as nearly all 
flowers are borne on long stiff stems, 
beautiful in form and exquisitely fra¬ 
grant. 
For the florist, this is valuable, as the 
flowers sell at sight, and at high prices. 
Strong plants, each , 20 cents; three for 
00 cents; seven for $1.00. 
A Handsome Spotted Begonia 
SPOTTED BEGONIA. 
(Argentea Guttata). 
A remarkably fine vari¬ 
ety with purplish - bronze 
oblong leaves, that are 
handsomely marked with 
silvery spots and dashes. 
The flowers are borne on 
the tips of the branches in 
large clusters, and are of 
pure waxy-whiteness. It is 
a good plant for window 
culture, easy to grow and 
always attracts attention by 
its finely formed and showy 
leaves and majestic appear¬ 
ance. 
Each .. 25 cents. 
CANNA, STAR OF 1891, GROWN AS A POT PLANT. 
Brilliancy of color, freedom of bloom, large, showy flow¬ 
ers, and all other good qualities that seemingly can be 
possessed by one class of plants are concentrated in this 
wonderful Canna, Star of 1891. It has handsome foliage, 
large, gorgeous trusses of brilliant orange scarlet flowers, 
faintly banded with a lovely golden yellow color. Every 
sprout produces a flower-spike, these in turn produce 
other branches, each of which bears large trusses of bloom. 
The neat, dwarf habit of the plant makes it equally as 
desirable for pot culture as bedding, so that a plant which 
has been bedded out through the summer, may be potted 
out for winter blooming in the house; a plant will not 
cease blooming as long as cared for. 
Price of strong plants f each, 35 cents; dozen, $8.50. 
The new French Ever-Blooming Cannas are now 
among the most desirable and popular plants for bedding 
purposes; and to become acquainted with their beauty 
one should have a display of these lovely plants the com¬ 
ing season. The six varieties named below will make a 
very handsome bed, of which no one will have cause to 
be ashamed; but if the new varieties MAD. CROZY and 
STAR OF ’91 are added, they will greutly increase the brill¬ 
iancy of color and produce a grand effect. 
The set of six varieties named hrlmv for $1.25; with Mad. 
Crazy. $1.70; with Star of '91, $1.50; or the entire set of 
eight varieties, enough for a grand display, $ 2 . 00 .
