NOW IS THE TIME TO ORDER 



CANNAS 



TO PREPARE for SPRING BEDDING PLANTS 



Place your order with us now for delivery in January or February. We will 

 then send you fresh cut two to three-eye divisions. 



If you start them up then each thousand roots should make at least 2000 plants, 

 which if kept moving make magnificent 4 and 5-inch pot plants by planting out time. 



There are no more effective bedding plants and few, if any, more profitable to grow. 



The subjoined list contains the names of free, large flowering, vigorous grow- 

 ers, any of which will please you and your customers. 



Order now and say when you want them shipped to you. 



Price $5.00 per 1 OO, $40.00 per 1 OOO 



EXCEPT WHERE OTHERWISE NOTED 



BEACON — Free flowering dwarf, bright red. 



CHEERFULNESS — Beautiful variegated, orange and 

 scarlet with golden border. The florets are medium sized, 

 but very freely produced. 



CITY OF POBTLAND — A wonderfully attractive rose- 

 pink. Excellent upright habit and free flowering. $15.00 

 per 100, $125.00 per 1000. 



DE. E. ACEEBKNECHT — The bronze foliage blends 

 pleasingly with the carmine rose trusses. Vigorous and 

 free. 



DUKE OF MABLBOROUGH— An old favorite with 

 deep crimson flowers. 



EUREKA — The best white Canna. A very strong 

 grower, blooming freely. The flowers are large and be- 

 come pure white in the full sun. $8.00 per 100, $75.00 

 per 1000. 



FANAL — Exceedingly free flowering deep bright red. 

 A most effective bedder. 



FEUEBMEEB — Another excellent old sort with a profu- 

 sion of dazzling orange-scarlet flowers. 



GAIETY — Wonderfully effective. Deep orange suf- 

 fused with scarlet and bordered with yellow. A brilliant 

 bedder. 



GOLDEN GATE — Vigorous and free. A unique combi- 

 nation of yellow and golden shades, blending into rose as 

 the flower matures. $6.00 per 100, $50.00 per 1000. 



HUNGABIA — There is a quiet refinement about this 

 delicate rose-pink Canna that charms everyone and has 

 made it one of the most popular. $8.00 per 100, $75.00 

 per 1000. 



KING HUMBEBT— The most popular Canna of this 

 generation. The large orange-scarlet flowers and particu- 

 larly the very deep bronze foliage make it one of the 

 most useful. 



LOUIS BEVEBCHON — The flowers are brighter and 

 more freely produced than on King Humbert, while the fo- 

 liage is a greenish bronze. 



MBS. ALFBED CONABD — Magnificent trusses of large 

 salmon-pink flowers. Unique and very ornamental. The 

 stock of this variety is very scarce. We have a limited 

 quantity and advise early ordering. $15.00 per 100. 



MBS. KABL KELSEY— A tall, majestic, vigorous 

 grower surmounted by great trusses of large orchid type 

 flowers. Orange-scarlet streaked and mottled with rose. 



BICHABD WALLACE — A well known pure yellow. 



THE GEM — A seedling of Hungaria, more vigorous, 

 with a profusion of large cream colored flowers dotted 

 with carmine. Very unusual and attractive. $7.00 per 

 100, $60.00 per 1000. 



THE PBESIDENT— The greatest red Canna in com- 

 merce. Very heavy, vigorous growths surmounted by great 

 trusses of immense florets of bright scarlet. We heartily 

 endorse this as the greatest Canna introduction of recent 

 years. $8.00 per 100, $75.00 per 1000. 



WYOMING — We know of no other Canna as effective 

 as this for large plantings. A giant in growth. Ex- 

 tremely vigorous, with its deep bronze foliage as an ideal 

 background for large, bright orange colored flowers of 

 the orchid type. It makes an ideal subject. 



YELLOW KING HUMBEBT— A sport from King Hum- 

 bert, to which it occasionally reverts. Green foliage 

 with yellow flowers dotted with scarlet. $8.00 per 100, 

 $75.00 per 1000. 



We have good stocks of many other varieties, prices on which will be quoted on application. 

 Order now for delivery in January and February.

plants.' A far better and more truly 

 descriptive name for the forms of B. 

 variabilis is "summer-blooming lilac," 

 and for the white winter bloomer, B. 

 asiatica, "winter-flowering lilac." 



All the buddleias propagate with ease 

 from soft-wood cuttings. If B. variabilis 

 magnifica, the last of the summer bloom- 



ers, is not hardy with you, take cuttings 

 now from open-air plants. They root 

 as easily as heliotropes ageratums and 

 can be carried over winter in pots in a 

 cold greenhouse. B. magnifica will 

 stand 10 or 15 degrees below zero, with 

 slight mulching, provided you do not 

 cut the plants back in the fall. In the 



spring cut them back nearly to the 

 ground. The winter bloomers, like the 

 new Eva Dudley, a cross between mag- 

 nifica and asiatica, and the pure white, 

 deliciously fragrant B. asiatica, can be 

 propagated from soft-wood cuttings any 

 time after the flowering season is over. 

 They are all vigorous growers and I find
