I have never seen a better bedder and it should be grown by every florist. Perhaps the handsomest, or rather the most finished bed on the whole grounds, is the canna bed, the exhibit of C. W. Ward. It is a circle twenty-five feet in diameter. In the center is Black Beauty, which is surrounded by five or six rows of President McKinley. The combina- tion is grand. It is impossible to see the flowers of McKinley in the picture but for many weeks they have been covered with bloomlikeageraniumbed. Eighteen inches, even two feet, is considered the right distance to plant cannas, particu- larly of the stronger growing varieties, but'Mr. Ward sent us such an abundance of plants that we were able to plant these only one foot apart, so they have quickly filled up and have made a magnificent show. If you want a quick return plant thicklv. The bed of Canna David Harum has been very much admired. It is the exhibit of Vaughan's Seed Store, and is immediately to the east, or front, of the Woman's building. As usual, the photo- graph does not do justice to the bloom. There is something remarkably pleasing about this beautiful canna. The foliage is a rich bronze, but not too dark. The flower is a fine, pleasing orange scarlet. There is harmony or blendmg of the flower and color of the leaf which makes the variety most attractive. I predict for this canna the greatest popularity. One of the best features of the rose gar- den of late at the Pan-American has been the various beds of perennial phlox. The one shown in the picture is the exhibit of Vaughan's Seed Store and contains many different varieties. I believe it is gener- ally conceded that the perennial phlox is one of the best herbaceous plants and deserves a place in every garden. Many beautiful varieties can be seen here. 1 think with this flow
