fall. All colors, shades and markings are represented in the

In this new class of Cannas we have something of pronounced 
merit for bedding — either in rows or large clumps—and for winter 
flowering in pots they are of scarcely less value. The foliage Is 
luxuriant and the plants dwarf in habit. Their great merit, how¬ 
ever, lies in the large size and brilliaut hues of the flowers, ranging 
through all shades of yellow and orange to the richest crimson, 
scarlet and vermilion; some are also beautifully spotted. Seed 
sown in hot bed or greenhouse from January to April will pro¬ 
duce flowering plants by July. (.See cut.)

ant green leaves are thickly splashed, lined and barred 
with red and yellow and margined with clear crimson, 
the flowers of brilliant crimson-scarlet, while not as large

GIANT-FLOWERING 
MARGUERITE . . . 
These gorgeous and fragrant gar¬ 
den Carnations flower profusely 
summer and autumn, from 
seeds sown in the spring. 
H LL lovers of Carnations 
have reason to be grate¬ 
ful for the introduction 
of this wonderfully improved 
strain. The flowers often meas¬ 
ure three inches across, and are 
usually as double as double can 
be; most of them have beautifully 
fringed petals, and are delightfully 
fragrant. One great merit of these 
Carnations is that they commence to 
flower in about twelve weeks' time from 
seed. Seeds Bown in the spring will pro¬ 
duce luxuriant plants that will be continu¬ 
ally full of bloom from August until killed 
by severe frosts. If desired, theplants can be 
potted in the autumn, and they will continue 
to bloom profusely in the house through the 
winter, or seeds may be sown during the sum¬ 
mer for the best winter-flowering plants.
