The Bonniest Blossoms of the Bunch.
ROSBMAWR,   the  most  showy  and
Handsome of all Pink Cannas, (C &
J., '98)—We ask particular attention to this
new variety, which is undoubtedly one of
the most showy and  handsome of  all the
Pink Cannas.    Its enormous masses
of flowers and exquisite color attract immediate attention. The
flowers are extra large, having    broad,,   well    rounded
petals,    frequently   two
inches across.    The color
is bright, rosy pink, elegantly mottled with rose,
shaded rich golden-yellow  at   throat.    The
trusses are immense and
borne   just the   right   distance
above the foliage to show to best advantage.    The flowers are very durable and
retain    their   bright,    handsome    color
through all kinds of weather.    The plant
makes a vigorous,  handsome   growth,   averages
about 3 feet in height, and is an early and contitmous
bloomer.    We recommend it as one of our very best kinds,
both for bedding and house culture.    Your collection will
not be complete without this beautiful Rosemawr Canna.

plant. Dormant roots, 15c.

NEW WHITE CANNA, ALSACE — Originated by our
Mr. Antoine Wintzer, in 1896, and still remains the
nearest approach to a Pure White Canna, and the finest
of its color to date. The flowers are at first, light
sulphur yellow, soon changing to rich creamy white. It
makes nice, shapely plants, three to four feet high, and
bears large trusses of creamy white flowers all through
the season. Alsace is indispensable for bedding in masses
and borders with other kinds. Alsace is specially recommended for bedding with other and brighter colors, as
for instance, a bed with Pillar of Fire for centre, Alsace
next, and the outer row of Queen Charlotte makes a very
handsome combination, as the plants grow to a proportionate height, and the colors contrast finely and show to
best advantage. Dormant roots, 15 cts. each; potted
plants, 20 cts. each, postpaid.
