Anative Florida Canna with flowers so large and Iqvelj that no varieties in cultivation can excel it in delicate beauty, not even the magnificent French Cannas which have created such a sensation for the past few seasons. Its blossoms are from a rich golden yellow to a pale straw color, are over two inches in diameter the narrowest and five or more inches the widest way. The petals are very delicate, with edges beautitiiUy cvmped, the blossom resembling the Iris flower in shape anil appearance more than a Canna. The plant is dwarf in height—from two to four feet—but grows vigorously and blooms profusely all summer.

The roots should be wintered in a box of moist earth in the cellar, or may be kept up for winter flowering.
