The World's Best Cannas 



We try out all new introductions for at least two years before endorsing or rejecting same, and if they 

 are not improvements over existing sorts, or decided novelties, we do not offer them to you. 



The following varieties of recent introduction stand out prominently as the best of their respective types 

 and colors, and you will make no mistake in accepting our endorsement of the ten varieties here offered. 



SPECIAL. — Note the reduction in price of ttie three leaders — Hungaria, the ideal pink, 

 Qustav Qumpper, yellow, and Mrs. Alfred Conard, popular salmon pink. 



Gustav Gumpper. Another season's trial strengthens us In Marcs. The best white bedder, in color about the same as 



again recommending this as the ideal rich yellow bedding 

 Canna; the flowers of good size are held well above the 

 foliage, the fine trusses always clean looking; in habit of 

 growth very uniform; color a rich golden-yellow, a shg,de 

 that has been missing heretofore and which can be seen 

 as far as the eye will carry; 3% to 4 feet. 20 cts. each; 

 $1.25 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $65.00 per 1,000. 

 Hungarla. The ideal pink bedding Canna; flowers large, in 

 good sized trusses, produced early, freeiy and continuously, 

 in color not unlike that of the Paul Neyron Rose. Com- 

 pared to all other pink varieties, it possesses a softness 

 and refinement not found in any other sort; 3 to 3% feet. 

 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1,000. 



Louis Reverchon. This was one of the best dark-leaved 

 red-flowering varieties in our trials during the past three 

 years. A block of about 2,000 plants attracted great atten- 

 tion. The flowers are very large, of a cochineal-red color, 

 very Treely produced on vigorous plants with light bronze 

 foliage; 4% to 5 feet. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 

 100; 175.00 per 1,000. 



Meteor. There are two varieties of Cannas being sold under 

 the name of Meteor, one a German introduction which 

 can be bought very cheap. We offer the American variety 

 and it is the Canna you want, as it is the best red flower- 

 ing Canna in commerce. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 

 per 100. 



Mrs. Alfred F. Conard. A most remarkable variety, with 

 exquisite salmon-pink flowers of largest size in erect and 

 abundantly furnished heads, so freely produced as to keep 

 a superb showing of bloom for months above the rich green 

 foliage; 4 feet. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100; 

 $100.00 per 1,000. 



Rosea GIgantea. Extra large flowers, borne in such abun- 

 dance that the mass of color on each plant is truly amaz- 

 ing; individual petals are 2^4 inches across; a deep, rich 

 rose, almost a coral-carmine. 10 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; 

 $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1.000. 



Mont Blanc Improved, but produces not only three or four 

 times as many flowers, and, as the old flowers shed them- 

 selves. It always presents a clean and tidy appearance. 

 Maros In our fields attracted great attention, forming 

 great broad clean bands of white. Its habit is perfect, 

 filling every requirement of a tip-top bedder. 15 cts. each; 

 $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1,000. 

 Uhlberg. Entirely distinct and one of the freest-flowering 

 varieties we have ever grown. The flowers expand very 

 full and are of a soft rosy- carmine; the throat of the 

 flower is of a creamy-yellow and the edges of the petals, 

 which are slightly crimped, are also pale yellow. This 

 variety attracted much attention at our trials; 3 feet. 35 

 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Undine. Unquestionably the best of its type, and we heartily 

 recommend it either for massing or as single specimens in 

 the border. Its growth is dwarf and graceful, with grreen 

 foliage, and its flowers, which are produced very freely, 

 are of a bright orange-scarlet broadly edged with golden 

 yellow; a most satisfactory variety in every way; 3% feet. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



William Bates. A splendid free-flowering pure yellow Canna 

 that has attracted much attention. The size of its flowers, 

 of its trusses, its habit of growth are all that can be 

 desired; a variety that will become a great favorite; 5 feet. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $20.00 per 100.
