This is the most magnificent novelty among foliage plants. Each leaf is beau- tfiu'ly variegated with pink, scarlet, orange, gray, green, etc. The foliage keeps its color all through the season; either for open ground or pots. In habit of growth it is superb. It hardly reaches the height of 3 feet, and :is compact, with numerous leaves, which are wide, wavy and grace- ful. In this respect more charming than any other Canna. Aside from its beauty and usefulness as a garden ornament, it is still grander in pots for the window or porch, and makes a specimen plant which nothing, not even Fancy Caladiums, can surpass, soc. per dozen; $6.00 per 100. (7ai)pa, ^Jusafolia. This splendid novelty we now offer for the first time it having originated with us several years ago. It is the finest foliage Canna yet seen, with enor- mous Husa-like leaves, 4x3 feet, of a dark green, bronze tinged color, the edge of each leaf being beautifully banded with bronzy-purple. In size and beauty of foliage it is a revelation, and makes a clump or single specimen plant for the lawn which no other foliage plant can approach. It is a seedling of the well known Robusta, but with foliage twice as large, as well as more graceful and wavy. Height 8 to 10 feet, $1.50 per dozen; §10.00 per 100.
