The name suggests the story of Archi- 

 medes, and, like all Mr. Michel's names, 

 it is clear-cut and expressive. He does 

 not believe in calling a variety Mrs. 

 William F. Dreer, no matter how good 

 it may be, lest some day far hence it be 

 overthrown by a rival and the lady 

 shamed. 



In yellow, Florence Yaughan has 

 droi)ped out. Gladiator has fallen be- 

 hind. There are several good ones in 

 the race. Today first place lies between 

 Favorite and Golden Eagle. Favorite 

 is an excellent yellow, with deep orange 

 shoots that enhance rather than detract 

 from the strength of the color. So 

 much so that Mr. Michel pro])erly calls 

 Favorite a clear yellow. Golden Eagle 

 is a lighter shade of yellow; perhaps 

 canary yellow would best describe its 

 color. It is clear and beautiful, without 

 markings. 



The pinks ])resent a wide range of 

 shades. Rosa Gigantea stands first in 

 its class, as it has done since its intro- 

 duction. City of Portland is likely to 

 dis])lace Mrs. Alfred F. Conard because 

 it is more ])roductive in root divisions. 

 Progress is a fine pink. Fairy Queen is 

 a little gem, dwarf in liabit, exceedingly 

 free flowering, exquisite in color. 



The reds form the most important 

 group among cannas. In fact, a single 

 variety, King Humbert, is more largely 

 grown than all the other varieties of all 

 the colors combined. There are five 

 acres of King Humbert cannas growing 

 on the Dreer grounds at Kiverview. 

 Surprise is a fine canna. It is consid- 

 ered an improvement on Lafayette, 

 which in turn is placed ahead of Melior. 



The impression left by this field of 

 cannas and by Mr. Micliel 's talk is that 

 steady, intelligent effort is bringing re- 

 sults in improved varieties that will 

 further increase their popularity. 



Various Notes.
