We make the improved French Cannas a speci- alty and offer below the very cream of all sorts now in commerce. Re- member the canna to bloom continuously must be kept moist and well fed. Therefore, give th^vn rich, well-manured Boil, auQ plenty of water, and remove the flower stalk as soon as flowers are faded, to make room for the new side shoots, continuously forming. New Giant Orchid Flowered Cannas. This magnificent new race of cannas is the sensation of the year in floral novelties. In size and brilliancy of flowers and majestic Musa-like foliage, they are entirely distinct and far in advance of any of the large flowering cannas. to date; of remarkably strong growth, they soon make fine specimen plants, with twenty to twenty-five strong stems bearing immense heavy leaves, each stem crowned with tall spikes of large, orchid-like flowers, many of which, when fully expanded, measure six to seven Inches across. ALAMANNIA. A immense flower, orange, with bright yel- low border, spotted with orange. 20 cents each. AUSTRIA. One of the wonders of recent introduction; many of the flowers when fully outstretched measure over six inches across, the petals are very broad with slightly reflexed edges resembling very closely some of the orchid family. The plant is remarkable for its sturdy, rank growth, forming massive clumps six to seven feet high, covered from the ground up with large deep green Musa-like foliage. Plants set out early in the season will before midsummer form chimps with twenty to thirty strong stems, each stem surmounted by tall spikes of golden yellow flowers standing upright 1 ke Immense lilies. It blooms continuously from early sum- mer until checked by frosts in fall; lifted before frost and taken Into the house will continue to bloom all win- ter. 20 cents. ITALIA. Another giant flowered variety from the same source as Austria, and by some would be considered thp more showy of the two. The plant Is of the same strong habit of growth with large deep green foliage. The flow- ers, while not quite as Irrge, are even more gorgeous on account of their glowing colors. The three upper petals are golden yellow with a large blotch of orange scarlet in center of each, the center and lower petals soarlet, with a narrow edge of golden yellow. 20 cents each. CANNA ALSACE. A vigorous grower, with clear green foliage, four feet high; produces from twelve to eight- een "shoots in a season from a single eye, an early and continuous bloomer. Spikes of flowers, full, dense, crowded with flowers, which, upon opening, are of a delicate sulphur yellow, changing very soon, however, to a creamy white without spots. It is decidedly the most desirable canna for its unique color, and will be indispensable wherever contrast in color Is desired. 15 cents each. MRS. FAIRMAN ROGERS. This is an exceedingly fine, nev gilt-edged canna, the stock of which is both scarce and valuable. It is a dwarf, compact grower, reaching a height of two to three feet; bears llarge spikes of flowers as large as Queen Charlotte. The color is deep scarlet, edged with bright canary yellow. A remarkably fine canna, and considered one of the best; 20 cents eacb, 6 for $1.00.
