THE BREATEST CANNA NOVELTY 

 ^^ OF THE DECADE ^^ 



QUEEN HELEN 



3^-inch pot plants, $3.00 each; per dozen, $30.00

^QUEEN HELEN is a green-leaved sport of King Humbert, 

 ^ retaining all the good qualities that have made Humbert the 

 best Canna heretofore introduced — and Queen Helen has several 

 points of superiority over Humbert. Same orchid-like flowers, 

 golden yellow color, evenly spotted with red; stronger grower, 

 producing more than twice as many shoots per plant; flower 

 clusters larger; green-leaved, foliage large and glossy. Queen 

 Helen is a variety that in years to come will be grown more 

 generally than any other one canna. One large canna grower 

 says it is the bast novalty avar producad. 



This Canna originated at our place in the year 1910 and 

 the first time it was mentioned in The Florists' Review was 

 June 16, 1911, under the St. Louis items, 'where I had shown a 

 plant at one of our club meetings. 



Needless to say that we kept the stock of the plant 

 which produced Queen Helen, the green-leaved sport 

 with yellow flowers. We have, at present, a King 

 Humbart, in a four-inch pot, about twelve to fourteen 

 inches high, with another green-leaved sport about 

 four inches high. This plant I will ■•nd to the club 

 or florists' organization, which the Secretary of 

 the S. A. F. will mention, for inspection, express 

 paid, during the month of May or June. The 

 plant remains my property.

JOY! 



This is a Carnation that did not get a reputation 

 over night. We have been handling it for a little over 

 two years and ought to know something about it. 



IT'S A REAL RED 



It is the kind of Carnation that proves the florist's friend. Shipped over a distance, it 

 will look as good on arrival as when sent. This feature appeals to us because we know what 

 it means to the man who is depending on us. 



JOY has been described by Mr. E. H. Blameuser, of Niles Center, 111. -the man who 

 raised it— as "a strong grower, early, very free and continuous bloomer, with strong calyx 

 and good stem." That should be good enough for anybody.
