The foliage is exceed- ingly beautiful and of tropical appearance, leavi* being large and paddle-shaped. The flowers are borne on a strong scape which rises from the center of the plant, and are in the form of a cockade. Colors exceedingly delicate, white and pink with orange renter. A beautiful and novel pot plant. Blooms in August and September, loc. each. An elegant pot or bedding plant which is faithfully depicted in the accompanying cut, though it conveys no idea of the exquisite variegations of the leaves. Its manner of growth it much like that of a Canna, the leaves borne on erect foot-stalks with spread- ing blades of oblong-lanceolate form. They lire bright pale green, beautifully variegated with white and gold, the variegation being extremely diversifi- ed. In some leaves the whole area is white, in othersonly one-half, in others again it is confined to tlie interspaces between two or three of the ribs, while in othdrs it i- reduced to a few stripes. It is very free growing and one of the most ornamental plants Imaginable; As a pot. plant it surpasses the best Palms, and can be compared only to some of the rare Dracienas. As a bed- ding plant, planted out in full sun. it is simply elegant, making a specimen which for ornamental foliage has no equal. It is a free, vigorous and easy grower, succeeding in all situations and under all conditions. Being so Verv cheap, we trust that, all of our cus- tomers will plant it. It is sure to de- light all.
