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 lOO, $40.00 per lOOO 



EXCEPT WHERE OTHERWISE NOTED 



BEACON — Free flowering dwarf, bright red. 



CHEEBFTTLNESS — Beautiful variegated, orange and 

 scarlet with golden border. The florets are medium sized,

CITY or PORTLAND — A wonderfully attractive rose- 

 pink. Excellent upright habit and free flowering. $15.00 

 per 100, $125.00 per 1000.

 pleasingly with the carmine rose trusses. Vigorous and 

 free. 



DTTEE OF MABLBOBOUGH — An old favorite with 

 deep crimson flowers. 



EUBEKA — 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. 



FANAIi — 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. 



HT7NGABIA — 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. 



We have good stocks of many other varieties, 



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.

 their studies of resistance to woolly 

 aphis. In addition to this material we 

 expect to visit several nurseries in 

 Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas and select 

 trees which have developed their own 

 roots above the graft union. Another 

 year we shall have some pretty definite 



information regarding the possibilities 

 of propagating varieties in this way. 



So much for our work with fruit tree

There seems to be a demand for in- 

 formation regarding rose stocks In 



every section of the country. In tack- 

 ling this subject we are not only trying 

 to secure information regarding com- 

 mercial rose stocks now in use, but also 

 concerning several others which look 

 especially promising. Dr. Van Fleet's 

 collection is of especial value to us, as 

 he has a number of specimens which are
