The leaves are bright pale green, beau-

cream, the variegations being extremely
diversified; indeed, in our beds of
thousands OF the plants it is almost inn
possible to find two leaves exactly alike.
The plant is Canna-like in habit of
growth attans a height OF from a foot
or eighteen inches to three feet; the
leaves are spreading blades OF oblong
lanceolate form, from six to ten inches
long and two to five inches broad, hav-
