JAMES WOOD.
We have pleasure in offering
this fine new Canna, raised by
Alexander Marshall, gardener
to Mr. John B. Dutcher, Pawl-
ing. N. Y. , and was named by
the latter gentleman in honor
of his friend, Mr. Jarnes Wood,
of Mount Kisco, N. Y., Presi-
dent of the Eastern New York
Horticultural Society. The
color is very distinct, being a
true burnt-orange, the shade
so popular at the present time.
It is handsome in foliage and
habit, blooms most profusely,
grows in ordinary seasons
about four to four and one-
half feet high. The substance
of the petals is one of its ex-
celling merits ; the flowers,
though large and of fine finish,
hold on better than most Can-
nas, and so withstand the sum-
mer winds. These two latter
features are very pronounced
in this fine new Canna. Price,
50c. each, $5.00 doz.
