ITALIAN, AMERICAN, FRENCH AND INDIAN CANNAS. 39 New Orchid - flowering Italian CANNAS. Italia. The growth of all these varieties is similar and remarkably vigorous. Under good culture they grow 6 to 8 feet high, and their flowers fre- quently measure 6 inches across. Their petals are not so thick as those of the French varieties, and so do not last so long, but are produced continually with the greatest freedom. Africa. Dark bronzy foliage ; flowers orange-salmon, darkening to scarlet in the throat. AUemania. Exceptionally large flowers; upper petals salmon, with broad border and markings of golden yellow; lower petal dark salmon, marked with yellow in the center. Foliage dark green. Ameriea. Bronzy foliage, marbled with green; flowers rich orange- salmon, feathered and veined with scarlet. Austria. Pure canary-yellow, with few reddish brown dots on the two inside petals. Bupbanlc. Similar to Austria, but is more compact in habit. Italia. Bright orange-scarlet, with a very broad golden yellow border; foliage is large and heavy, like that of Musa Ensete. La Franee. Has darker foliage and more compact habit than America. Flowers orange-scarlet. Bloom constant and profuse. Parthenope. Dark orange, shaded with yellow. Pluto. Foliage rich bronze-red; flowers red, flamed with orange. Prof. Treub. Foliage purple; flowers orange-red, splashed with yellow. Price 15 cts. each, $i.50 per doz., $10 per 100 ; the set of 10 varieties for $I.2S. NEW LARGE-FLOWERING AMERICAN CANNAS. President MeKinley. Color brilliant crimson, with bright shading. Truss large, compact, of good shape and held well above the foliage; flowers produced freely and evenly. Foliage deep green, with marked chocolate margin. A compact, even grower, and one of the earliest bloomers, coming into flower when 14 inches high and blooming continuously thereafter. 3 feet high. President Cleveland. It is of strong, robust habit, growing about three feet high, with rich green foliage. The flowers, which are bright orange-scarlet, are borne in enormously large trusses well above the foliage. Sam Trelease. Tlie greatest merit of this variety is that the flowers open out flat, making a large, nearly circular flower. In color it is the nearest approach to a pure scarlet yet introduced; the edges and center are marked with yellow, as in Madame Crozy. The plant grows about three feet high, with large, freely branching spikes of flowers thrown well above the foliage. Allemania. Sunray. An ENTIRELY DISTINCT STRIPED VARIETY. The flowers are of large size, open out well, and are produced very freely. The ground color is a rich bright yellow, with stripes and dashes of bright scarlet.
