Tlie varieties offered are the cream of existing sorts, and bear flowers of similar size and form as Gladiolus. Adolph Weick. Eich pea-green foliage, very dwarf and compact habit, flowers large, of a rich crimson scarlet, shaded with orange. A free-blooming and attraotivt- sort which should be in every collection. 30 ets. Ehemanni. The most distinct of all C'annas on account of its large oval soft green leaves and carmine-red flow- ers, which are produced on long flower stems; each of the smaller branches bears about 12 flowers. Tht- flowers are as large as a Gladiolus, and are used advantage in bouquet-making. This is one of the luii-t striking and desirable Canuas ever introduced, and cannot be too highly recommended. 40 cts. each. Nouttoni. Is quite distinct from Ehemanni in coloring, being a rich shade of crimson scarlet. The flowers are very large, growing erect instead of drooping. The foliage is of a beautiful bluisli green, growing very compact and remarkably free-flowering, forming nearly solid masses of rich, warm coloring.
