THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



Do You Plant Improved C annas? 



What Others Say:— 



"There can be no question that could the Florists see your Cannas they 

 would be in every collection in the country. There is also no question that 

 when they get it in the Florists' collection the amateurs will take them." — 

 Extract from a letter from John Welsh Young, prominent Rose Grower 

 of the Philadelphia Florists' Club. 

 From Philadelphia:— Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Gentlemen: — If we have our usual funds, I shall be very glad to requisi- 

 tion for another order from you, as your last one gave us excellent returns 

 on the investment. Very truly yours, 



OGLESBY PAUL. Landscape Architect. 

 From Chicago: — 



Gentlemen: — We intend to introduce all your new Cannas to the 

 public in Chicago. RUDOLPH SCHIELE, 



For Commissioners of Lincoln Park, Chicago, 111. 

 From Washington: — 



A letter received from the Department of Agriculture says: 

 "These Cannas are desired for ornamenting the grounds of this Depart- 

 ment, where many thousands of people from all parts of the United States 

 visit each year, and they could hardly be placed in a more conspicuous 

 place; for this reason I wish to secure the best obtainable. 



Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, 



Washington, D. C. 

 "Mrs. Alfred F. Conard, introduced in 1910 as a result of 15 years' 

 careful work, seemed, to the Exchange representative as he looked upon it 

 in full bloom, to be one of the greatest creations in Cannas ever sent out. 

 Its very large, clear salmon-pink flowers, profusely produced on numerous heads, stand erect well above its rich green 

 foliage. Its blooming season is apparently long, and it is certainly one of the most exquisite of the Cannas whose 

 blooms are in the lighter colors." — From the Florists' Exchange of September 28, 1912.
