THE IMPROVED CANNA 



"UNCLE SAT 



is one of our Improved Cannaa that the Florists 

 in every state in the Union ought to know 

 about. It is a magnificent variety for parks — 

 or big beds anywhere. Very stately in appear- 

 ance with enormous bunches of brilliant Orange 

 Scarlet flowers ; height, 6 to 7 feet and magnifi- 

 cent every way. 



A bed of 'Uncle Sam" Cannas graced the 

 White House grounds at Washington recently 

 and was the admiration of its distinguished 

 guests. 



The Royal Horticultural Society of England 

 thought so much of it that they crowned it with 

 an award of merit at their great International 

 Trial of Canna Lilies. 

 ' We have a thousand good strong roots of 



"Uncle Sam" and will accept orders of not 

 more than 100 to any one patron, f. o. 1). here, 



at $1.00 per dozen; $7.00 per 100 

 It ought to be in every first-class list published. 



Please rememl>er that every one of these 

 Cannas we have been talking about were orig- 

 inated by our Vice-President, Mr. Wintzer, on 

 our grounds here at West Grove. 



Would not your customers pay a little more 

 for such superior sorts? W>ite for our list.
