SUPERIOR H I 



Best by test you'd say if you'd follow Mr. Wiotzer in his work of the past twenty years— improving the size, shape, color, 

 texture and endurance. The newer sorts remind you of Mallow Marvels in size and of Orchids in color effects. It's time to 

 make your plans and time to order too. Select from the fallowing list and you'll get winners. 



K AMEBZCAir BX:ATTT7. 5 



ft. This is the richest col- 

 ored Canna we Icnow — a 

 velvety, oriental carmine 

 or translucent cerise. It is 

 unusually attractive, with 

 its large flowers of tropical 

 magnificence held on firm, 

 straight stems in rich 

 bouquets well above the 

 soft green foliage. Prac- 

 tically every stalk pro- 

 duces at least two heads 

 of bloom. 3 for $2.50, 10 

 for $7.50 $50 



m CAlTDIil^ABBA. 5 ft. After 

 22 years of painstaking 

 c r o s s-hybridlzing, Mr. 

 Wintzer has succeeded in 

 producing this prodigy. 

 Three to five flower 

 branches on each stalk at 

 one time is the average, 

 and every single branch is 

 ablaze with a torch-like 

 flame of fiery orange-scar- 

 let bloom. The branches 

 are erect and sturdy; the 

 foliage is rich green, and 

 very vigorous. Our 1921 

 stock plants of this mar- 

 velous Canna have renew- 

 ed our enthusiasm for its 

 beautiful color and unpar- 

 alleled production of bloom. 

 3 for $2.50, 10 for $7.50... 60 



X SXrSQTTXSKAmrA. 3 ft. A 



sturdy growing dwarf with 

 dark, olive-green foliage, 

 shaded with bronze. An 

 early bloomer with large, 

 old-rose-pink flowers borne 

 on strong, bronzy stems. 

 The pink flowers mounted 

 upon bronze foliage make 

 this Canna very distinct 

 and its dwarf habit makes 

 it especially valuable. 3

 stant bloomer, handsome 

 and desirable. 3 ft 4

yH STATUE OF ^XBEBTT. 



6 to 7 ft. This Canna out- 

 strips exaggeration. We 

 believe it is, without ex- 

 ception, the largest Canna 

 In existence. Like the 

 Statue of Liberty, it over- 

 tops anything of a sim- 

 ilar nature that can be 

 compared with it. Its foli- 

 age is bronze, leaves half 

 as large again as its near- 

 est rival, and of a rich, 

 luxuriant, ebony shade. It 

 holds aloft a fiery flaming 

 flower, orchid-type, blaz- 

 ing flame-red In color. The 

 flowers are of large size 

 and good form. The effect 

 is massive and impressive.

 ity of bloom, and the flrm

 heat to a remarkable de- ■ 

 gree. A large bed of this

 year in front of the White 

 House and received the 

 unqualified admiration of 

 every lover of Cannas. 

 "The President" has proved 

 to be the most satisfactory 

 red Canna ever produced.
