CULTUHE. — The soil can hardly be too rich and porous. Equal parts manure, loam and sand, with
a little peat, form the best mixture. Liberal supplies of manure water are of great benefit.
Always when growing keep well watered.

Austria, The New Giant Flowered Catt-
«a- It is. in truth, a giant, with tiowerssix to
eight inches across, a giant iu its superb
growth, young plants set out in June form-
ing dense spreading clumps, with twenty to
twenty-five stems six feet high, and every
stem surmounted with a spike of its glorious,
golden, lily-like flowers, a giant in its grand
foliage, a magnificent giant in its every attri-
bute.
Alsace, Ttte White Canua.-In this
variety we have the nearest approach to a
pure white Canna A wonderfully free
bloomer and a fine erect grower. The flow-
ers at first opening are a light sulphur yellow,
changing to creamy white. A grand variety
for contrasting with darker colored sorts.
Alpbouse Bouvier.— This is the grandest
of all Cannas for outdoor bedding. It is a
very luxuriant grower in good ground. It
begins to bloom very early, and is one con-
tinuous mass of crimson the entire season.
The tips of the shoots are surrounded by im-
mense clusters of bright crimson flowers of
the very largest size, and nothing can excel
their brilliancy.
Burbauk.— Color, rich canary yellow.
with a few carmine spots in throat. Giant
orchid-like flowers, the upper petals measur-
ing fully seven inches across. It is a vigor-
ous growing plant, attaining a height of five
to six feet, with leaves of a leathery texture,
shiny and very large.
Charles Henderson.— A grand variety of
a fine crimson color that has become very
popular. While it is not quite as rich in
color as Alphonse Bouvier. its habit of
growth is much more compact, rarely ex-
ceeding three and one-half feet in height,
which makes it a desirable companion to
such varieties as Florence Vaughan and
Madame Crozy.
Chicago.— Grand; vermilion-scarlet, flow-
ers very Targe and flat, petals broad and five
in number, composing a magnificent flower
in a very large truss, erect in growth, foliage
a bright green. The heavy texture of the bloom renders them
very durable as compared with most varieties.
Egandale.— Without the least hesitation we pronounce this
the Dest of all dark-leaved Cannas for bedding that has yet
come under our notice. Flowers are of good size, and borne in
compact heads, and in such profusion that a bed of them is a
perfect mass of color unequaled by any other sort. The color
is a deep currant-red. of a peculiar and pleasing shade, and
different from any other.
Florence Vaughan.— Undoubtedly one the finest yellow
spotted varieties yet sent out; in color it is of a bright, rich
golden-yellow, spotted with bright red; the flowers, which are of
