Conowingo — The color of this flower is an In- 

 tense, fiery scarlet. Its foliage is an unusually 

 beautiful plum color at the base, shading to rich 

 olive green at the tip. The stately flowers are 

 freely produced and stand well abore the foliage, 

 thus showing themselves off to good advantage. 

 Height, four to five feet. 



Splendour — The most impressive quality In this 

 canna is the firm, well spread out formation of 

 the flowers, which are an Intense scarlet color 

 and very large. It makes two or three bloom 

 heads on each stalk, Insuring flowers practically 

 all the time, as new blooms are constantly ap- 

 pearing betore the older flowers fade. Splendour 

 is a fitting name for such a magnificent canna. 

 Green foliage. Height, three to three and one- 

 half feet. 



Wabash — The bronze-leaved Rosea gigantea. 

 Flower is unusually large, petals broad and borne 

 In great abundance, well above the magnificent 

 foliage of deep purple brown, striped bronze 

 green. Height, four feet. 



Beaoon — Because of its abundance of bloom, 

 this canna Is notably efTectlve. The moderate- 

 sized flowers are borne In great. Impressive heads 

 of rich cardinal red. When seen In a row or bed 

 the flowers show a mass of bloom that for color 

 effect we tblnk is unparalleled. 



Kate r. D«emer — The grand flowers open a 

 rich, oriole yeUow, which gradually gives place 

 to turkey rod In the center and throat of the 

 flower. Id striking contrast with the rest of the 

 blossom, which turns almost white. The rich 

 yellow buds on reddish brown stems combine with 

 the yellow and white flowers, surmounting rich 

 green foliage, to make a fascinating combination 

 that always looks fresh and attractive. Height, 

 three to four feet. „ ^ ^ .
