Mr. Pierson, tha'n whom noone is a better judge of Cannas, and the fact that he has attached his name to it'is sufficient guarantee of its quality. It is claimed to. Possess the largest flower and truss of any Carma ever 'seen, while the petals are very broad and well rounded, and recurve more than is ordinarily seen, giving it a very distinct and pleasing appearance. The color is an intense, glowing scarlet, so rich and deep as to be almost a crimson, while the center is tinged with yellow, suggesting the name which was first given it, Golden Heart. It is a dwarf, compact grower, and, as the introducer says, its particular value lies in its exquisite coloring, large size of truss, and perfect flower. We invested largely in this, and have a fine stock, which we offer at a' very low figure. 20 cents each; per dozen per hundred. 4 Feet.
