Flowers always popular for button-hole bouquets, rivaling the tuberose in that respect. 25 cents each, $ per dozen. CAMELLIA Japonica. Camellias do well in Florida after once becoming established. They prefer a rather moist soil, but not wet; also, a clayey sub-soil; but we have very good success grow- ing them only in sand. The Camellias of Tallahassee and North Florida are immense, which shows their adaptability to our state. Fine plants in many varieties. Ii each. CANNA. These splendid, broad-leaved plants are used in semi-tropical gardening with rich effect. In South Florida the roots ean be left in the ground the year through, and if the tops are frosted down in winter, in spring the new shoot will soon be out as large as ever. C. flaccida. Native of the Florida swamps, but deserves cultivation universally as a bedding plant. Of dwarf habit, but producing quanti- ties of large, iris-like flowers three inches in diameter, of a rich golden-3'ellow. When once fairly introduced, we predict for this plant a great popularity, as it will prove invaluable as a foreground in groups and beds of tall-grow- ing Cannas, caladiums, etc.; is grown with the greatest ease, and content with any soil. 10 cents each, 80 cents per dozen. C. Indica. Beautiful red and yellow-flowered varieties. 10 cents each, §1 per dozen. C. Marechal Vaillante. Foliage deep wine-color. One of the best varieties. 25 cents each. CATALPA speciosa. The Catalpa. A large tree- having handsome, pointed cordate leaves of good size, furnishing a deep shade, and sweet- scented white or cream-colored flow
