Acalypha Sanderi Alba. This new plant is a sport from the well known .Vcalypha Sanderi, says Mailer's Deutsche OartncrZeitutig, and originated with H.

Cannas in Mid-July. I would say that cannas are in better general condition than they were last year at the same date. We commenced planting June 2, most of the plants being from 3VL>-inch pots, and since then have had an ample amount of rain and con- siderable warm weather, conditions favorable to the growth of these plants. There is a difference in quite a number of varieties as compared to last season, particularly as to season of blooming. Nearly all the red sorts are a few days late, although the average size of the clumps is considerably larger. The varie- ties showing the most bloom at mid-July are Buttercup, yellow; Rosemawr, pink; Conqueror, red, mottled; Admiral Schley, gilt-edged dwarf; Orange Queen, orange; Queen Eleanor, yellow-spotted dwarf; Robert Christie, orange scarlet; Fair IVrsian, pink, apricot shading: Rosalba, pink. 01 the red-flowered varieties those most advanced in bloom are George Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Black Prince and Duke of Marlborough. Olympia, the new shade of purple, is now showing considerable bloom. Glo- riosa is doing well. West Grove
