The World's Best CANNAS

The best quality of roots both as to vitality and size of divisions.

They cost a trifle more but are worth considerably more. Every 100 roots we supply will, with reasonable treatment, 

 produce 200 or more pot plants.

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

 charms every one and has made it one

 per 100(1. 



KING HUMBERT. — The most popular 

 Canna of this generation. The large 

 orange-scarlet flowers ar.d particularly

 brighter and more freely produced than 

 on King Humbert, while the foliage is a 

 greenish bronze. 



MRS. ALFRED CONARD. — Magnificent 

 trusses of large salmon-pink flowers.

THE PRESIDENT. - The greatest red 

 Canna in commerce. Very heavy, vigor- 

 ous growths, surmounted by' great 

 trusses of immense florets of bright scar- 

 let. 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 cITective as this for large plantings. 

 A giant in growth. Extremely 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.

 from King Humbert, to which it occasion- 

 ally reverts. Green foliage with yellow 

 flowers, (lotted with scarlet. $8.00 per 100, 

 $75.00 per 1000.

tions justified this sli}j;litly conservative 

 viewT)oint. All the out-of-town stores 

 of Rossi & Co. did a flourishing business 

 and it was necessary to express extra 

 stock to several of tiiem. The Oakland 

 store disposed of a good-sized stock of 

 potted plants, a (3-foot rack being neces- 

 sary to hold all the stock. This rack 

 extended the full length of the store on 

 both sides and was supplemented by a 

 large basement stock. 



Mr. Costa, of the Oakland Flower 

 Shop, estimates the business of this year 

 as being double that of last. This is 

 explained by the comparative newness 

 of the enterprise and by the fact that 

 the principal business consists in ship- 

 ping to the rapidly growing and pros- 

 perous interior towns, such as Fresno,
