BEAUTIFUL CANNAS I
Cannas are called the poor man's Orchid because one may possess a perfect riot of color in his yard
or garden for the minimum of both outlay and labor. They grow rapidly and bloom luxuriantly through-
out a long season, requiring merely ordinary hoeing and weeding, and they always respond to plenty
of water. Soak the ground thoroughly. Planted in beds of any formal shape, in rows or in front of
porches and foundation walls, their rich, tropical foliage and gaudy bloom will repay their care and the
insignificant trouble of winter storage.
NOVELTIES IN CANNAS AND THOSE THAT ARE RARE
EUREKA — This is the only white flowering Canna
that ever amounted to anything. It is a good
grower, free bloomer and pure white in color;
large flowers and truss. 35 cents.
FIREBIRD — This is by all means the very best red
flowered Canna; gigantic trusses of immense flow-
ers with petals two and one-half inches to three
inches and over across. The color is a clear,
glistening scarlet without streaks or spots of
any kind. Don't fail to try it. 4 feet. 35
cents.
HUNGARIA — This Canna catches the eye insistently
and demands attention. The petals are round and
waxy, made up into big round trusses. Its color
forcibly suggests the well-known "Paul Neyron"
Rose, and is unquestionably the most attractive
and fascinating pink Canna ever produced. 3%
feet. 30 cents.
KATE F. DEEMER — The grand flowers open a rich
oriole-yellow, which gradually gives place to a
turkey-red in throat of the flower, this in strik-
ing contrast with the rest of the blossom, which
turns almost white. Thus two colors of flowers
will be on the same stalk at one time. This
makes a fascinating combination, and is the most
unusual of all Cannas. 4 feet. 25 cents.
MRS. ALFRED F. CONRAD — A most remarkable
variety, with exquisite salmon-pink flowers of
largest size in erect and abundantly furnished
heads. So freely produced as to keep up a superb
showing of its fine bloom for months above the
rich green foliage; extra fine. 4 feet. 30 cents.
OLYMPIC — A captivating shade of orient-red with
center flamed a lighter shade as though overcast
with a sheen of silver; immense heads of gigantic
flowers. Superb. 4 feet. 35 cents.
PANAMA — The color is an attractive rich orange-
red, with a well-defined edge of bright golden-
yellow. The flowers are very large and the im-
mense spread of the individual blooms coupled
with its early free flowering habit makes this
Canna noteworthy. 30 cents.
QUEEN HELEN — Immense flowers that are as large
as the Orchid-flowering Cannas. Color golden-
yellow evenly and distinctly spotted red. This
Canna ranks right up with King Humbert. We
have no hesitancy in saying there is no better
Canna grown. 4% feet. 35 cents.
ROSEA GIGANTEA — Extra large flowers, borne in
such great abundance that the mass of color is
truly amazing; a deep, rich rose, almost coral-
carmine; soft and lovely; one of the most beauti-
ful Cannas grown. 4 feet. 30 cents.
SPECIAL — One Each of the Nine Newer Cannas, Costing $2.85,
Sent for Only $2.35.
STANDARD VARIETIES OF CANNAS
15 Cents Each, Except Where Noted.
CALnfORNIA — A pure rich orange or old gold. No other
Canna color like it. 4 feet.

played above the foliage. A conspicuous bedder. 3% feet.

let, mottled with deep red, and with crinkly-edged
petals 3 Vi feet.

Cannas grown; rich crimson-maroon. 4 feet.

pered with bright red spots. 3V 2 feet.

20 cents.
GLADIATOR — A very showy bedding Canna, with large
flowers of brassy-yellow, speckled in bright red. The
long center petal and lower petals are a solid dark red,
making a most striking contrast to the predominating
yellow. 3% feet. 20 cents.
JEAN TISSOT — A rich shade of scarlet in large trusses.
One of the brightest and best. 4 feet.
KING HUMBERT — In this grand Canna we have a com-
bination of the highest type of flower with the finest
bronze foliage. It has flowers as large as the Orchid-
flowering Cannas. Six inches across, in trusses of
gigantic size; of a brilliant orange-scarlet with bright
red markings. The foliage is broad and massive, of a
rich coppery-bronze; bold and effective. "King Hum-
bert" is the one ideal Canna. 4V 2 feet. 20 cents.
MEPHISTO — A brilliant deep, rich red; a wonderfully
satisfying Canna. 3% feet. 20 cents.
METEOR — Immense trusses of large, rounded flowers,
well displayed above the massive foliage; brilliant
crimson. Flowers keep well and are self-cleaning. 4
feet. 25 cents.
