 est crop of Cannas that we have ever gro^vn. 



KING HUMBERT 



And all the other good varieties you should have are included in our list and the roots are heavy and firm.

Whether it is dormant roots or pot plants that you want, vre advise 

 you to place your order now, paiTticularly if pot plants are desired and if 

 we receive your order for these in January, we will grow and reserve the

OheerfnlneBa. No more appropriate name could be given to tbla brilliant 

 novelty. Its beautiful bright flre-red or deep orange flowera appear early
