CHARLOTTE 
A grand, large-flowered, ever-blooming French Canna, 
distinct golden belt around each petal, the centre brilliant orange 
scarlet, with crimson tones. 
The plant is sturdy and compact, the blossoms stand well above the 
handsome Musa-like green foliage, yet not too high ; each main flower 
shoot is succeeded by many side shoots, thus insuring an unbroken 
succession of flowers. Tho individual flowers are very large, stout and 
densely sot, but not so as to appear crowded, tho whole forming a perfect 
bouquet, and admirably adapted to resist our summer winds. (See cut.)

E LDORADO, <£• 
This is, beyond question, the very 
best golden yellow Canna of its class 
now on the market, being of the high¬ 
est quality in every respect. The 
flowers are of the largest size, heads 
full and borno well above the foliage, 
habit dwarf and compact, 2J4 to 3 feet 
in height. The color is a ' rich, pure, 
golden yellow, speckled so slightly with 
red that tho general effect, even at a 
very short distance, is that of a pure 
golden yellow. In this we have the ideal 
yellow Canna, the llowers four inches 
across and dropping from the spike as 
soon as faded, leaving the plants al- 
wa}'s a mass of brilliant golden yellow. 
Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 
‘ALSACE , 
The first of its color and 
in every respect equal 
to the best among the 
new and improved sorts. It is a vigorous grow- 
. er, with clear green foliage, 4 feet high ; produces 
from 12 to 18 trusses of flowers in a season ; an early and continuous bloomer. The trusses 
arc full, rounded, densely crowded with flowers, which, upon opening, are of a delicate sulphur 
yellow, changing very soon, however, to a CREAMY WHITE without spots. Plants in out- 
grounds woro a solid mass of white flowers all summer, a grand and novel sight. It is 
decidedly a most desirable Canna for its unique color, and will be indispensable wherever con- 
trast in color for bedding is required. (See cut.) Price, 50c. each ; $5.00 per doz.
