CAN MAS 



True to Name 

 Grown by Experts 



You have no doubt from time to time bought CANNAS that were represented to you to be true to name, and strong 

 sound divisions and in every way first-class, and when you opened them up they looked well and you planted them feeling 

 that you were sure of a good crop; part of them came up straggling, many never at all, and all badly mixed; then you 

 were disappointed and it was too late to plant again. 



But did you ever buy Cannas of us, and did they turn out that way? Not that we ever heard of. 

 Our business is the growing of Cannas, and we claim to be experts in this line, having devoted many years to the 

 business. All of our Cannas are grown under the direct supervision of two of our firm. We use every precaution to 

 keep them true to name and stand ready at all times to rectify any mistakes that may occur. Our prices are right consid- 

 ering quality, which we guarantee to be the best at all times. 



OUR MOTTO :-THE BEST THAT CAN BE PRODUCED AND AT A FAIR PRICE.

PEOVXDENCE. 



The Market. 



The graduation exercises at the 

 grammar schools of this rfity the latter 

 part of the week served to accelerate 

 an otherwise somewhat slow week and 

 to put the market on a plane with some 

 of the best of last season. There was 

 a demand that caused a considerable 

 shortage in carnations and roses. A 

 slight stiffening in price was noted for 

 good stock, the overcast skies of the 

 week causing a shortage. With no wed- 

 dings or social functions of any conse- 

 quence and only an occasional large 

 funeral, it has been remarkable how 

 general business has kept up. It mere- 

 ly goes to emphasize that there is a 

 growing tendency toward the purchas- 

 ing of flowers for home use without 

 reference to any special occasion. 



Vaxlons Notes.

 Greenheuses of Woonsocket, announces

THE IMPROVED CANNA 



** In our own country Antoine Wintzer has 

 aooomplislied more tlian all tlie European 

 breeders put toKetber, and Is most largely 

 responsible for our modem appreciation of tlie 

 Canna in American sardens." 



—Garden Masazine. 



^¥^HE work of Mr. Antoine Wintzer, vice-president of our company, 

 * has given to the world today a wide range of color in Canna flowers 

 that has been but a dream in the past. 



This reality, added to robust, healthy, handsome foliage, erect flower 

 spikes and large blooms, makes a combination that is unrivaled. White, 

 soft pink, bright pink (every shade), yellow (clear and mottled), orange, 

 salmon, scarlet, crimson 'and a host of shades have been produced in 

 wondrous profusion, assuring the future position of the Canna as one of 

 our most important flowering and foliage plants. 



Would not your customers pay. a little more for Cannas so superior? 

 Some of our newest kinds you cannot buy elsewhere.
