SPLENDID NEW CANNAS. 
BETSY ROSS. We consider this one of the most beautiful of the 
pink Cannas. A compact grower with solid well-filled trusses, 
flowers always bright and fresh. About 3 feet. 
BRANDYWINE. A beautiful, bronze-leaved Canna; splendid, 
symmetrical habit, growing luxuriantly. The flowers are magnifi¬ 
cent in size and color. Intense vinous-red, beautifully dappled 
with deep crimson, occasionally edged bright golden-yellow. 
CHAUTAUQUA. A distinguished-looking Canna. Flowers pure, 
rich scarlet, intensely vivid; has luxurious tropical foliage prettily 
bronzed. “Chautauqua” has the habit of holding its rich bou¬ 
quets of bloom high above the foliage, a feature which makes 
this variety especially valuable for massing. 
DUKE OF YORK. Largest and most magnificent of the variegated 
Cannas Bears great bunches of immense flowers. Color, a 
beautiful rich, deep crimson, with a throat of curiously mottled 
creamy-white, and each petal exquisitely edged with an irregular 
border of fine gold. Height, 4 to 5 feet. 
EVOLUTION. The flowers are rich golden-yellow, shading 
through canary and sulphur to a centre of beautiful blush-pink. 
Such exquisite, dainty color, mounted on the handsome dark 
bronze foliage, produces one of the most rare and pleasing color 
contrasts of any Canna in existence. 
GEORGE WASHINGTON. A noble variety of exquisite finish 
and well worthy of its name. The color is deep velvety-crimson, 
beautifully shaded. The flowers are large, have broad petals, and 
are borne erect in bold, massive trusses. Height, about 3J feet. 
HIAWATHA. Foliage a beautiful bronze, striped and variegated 
with rich green. The flowers are borne in big bouquets on strong, 
straight stalks. They are large, have broad petals, gracefully 
rounded and slightly crimpled. Color, a delicate tint of rosy- 
pink, daintily dappled with silver-blush, and finished off with a 
border of clear cerise. Height, about 3 feet. 
LOUISIANA. A new giant, vivid scarlet-crimson Canna. The 
flowers are more than 7 inches across. It grows 6 feet high; has 
green foliage. 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 
NIAGARA. We consider “Niagara” the best of the low- 
growing variegated Cannas. Great handsome trusses; broad, 
thick, durable petals; color, rich deep crimson with a wide 
irregular border of deep golden-yellow. An excellent grower. 
Height, 3 feet. Green foliage.

balanced plants, 21 to 3 feet high. Foliage very dark green, 
heavily veined and edged with bronze. Bears immense branching

New SS: “LITTLE GEM.” 
This makes a compact mass of handsome green 
leaves surmounted by a wealth of brilliant 
orange-scarlet flowers, edged with brilliant yel¬ 
low. The height rarely exceeds two feet, so that 
its value for edging, for centres of low beds, for 
planting in herbaceous borders or for pot culture 
is apparent. An early and continuous bloomer.
