H I THE ''GOOD tfi LUCK'' SORT ARE SUPERIOR M I 



Best by test, you'd say, if you'd follow Mr. Wintzer 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 following list and you'll get winners:

IC !fi AMEBICAN BEA1TT7. 5 



S ft. This Is the richest col- 

 jp ored Canna we know — a 

 In 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 CANDEI^ABBA. 5 ft. After 



22 years of painstaking 

 c r o s s-hybrldizing, 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.

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. 8

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 mas.«;ive and impressive.

scarlet, and the Immense, 



firm, rounded flowers, 7 in.

 duced on strong, erect

rich green foliage. "The 



President" is superior to 



any other red variety in 



the quantity and also qual- 

 ity of bloom, and the firm 



flowers resist drought and 



heat to a remarkable de- 

 gree. A large bed of this 



variety was planted last 



year in front of the White 



House and received the 



imquallfied admiration of 



every lover of Cannas. 



"The President" has proved 



to be the most satisfactory 



red Canna ever produced.

ing tlie j)>nst year. Tlicro were .320 of 

 these qucstionn.nircs mailed and from 

 this number 1.50 replies were received. 

 It was doiliiced from these 150 replies 

 that about eighty-five per cent of the 

 nursery sliipmcnts wont by freight. 

 From 14G replies it was learned that the 

 high transportation charges had cur- 

 tailed business, while four members stat- 

 ed that high rates had not affected their 

 business in the least. Taking the 150 

 replies as a whole, the amount of freight 

 claims filed against the carriers was un- 

 der one per cent of the total number of 

 claims that could be filed in justice to 

 the nurserymen. 



From press reports, it appears that 

 Great Britain is lowering the freight 

 rates on various commodities in .a simi- 

 lar way to tlint being worked out for 

 this purpose in the United States and it 

 is further learned that they were figur- 

 ing on a general reduction in freight 

 rates on the percentage basis. The traf- 

 fic manager hns taken the matter up 

 with parties in Great Britain and is ne- 

 gotiating for a copy of their plan of 

 schedules, in order that he may be able 

 to compare the action being taken in 

 Great Britain with what is going on in 

 this country. 



Nurserymen have been bothered more 



or less lately with tlie l;nv in California 

 covering outside nurserymen, wliich re- 

 quires that a bond, a certificate and a 

 fee be filed before they arc allowed to 

 ship their stock into tliat state. This 

 law was recently declared inoperative 

 by the attorney-general, and thus, for 

 tlie present, nurserymen need not com- 

 ply with that provision of the law. The 

 letter from the department of agricul- 

 ture, Sacramento, Gal., dated January 

 11, 1922, reads in part as follows: 



Tlie section of the law luiviiiR reference to 

 tlie recistritJDn of out of-st.itp tiiirsprymen has

 the law, files the bond, pays the $10 fee and
