Alfred E. Eobinson said that Massa- 

 chusetts and New England in general 

 are the best places for the sale of nur- 

 sery stock. There is no provision at 

 all now for keeping out moths and other 

 pests. There should be inspectors to 

 look over each shipment arriving from 

 outside the state. New York does this. 

 It is simply a business proposition not 

 to permit insects to be brought into a 

 state. Not only are nurserymen import- 

 ing much from abroad, but private es- 

 tates have taken this up also, and all 

 of these shipments come in entirely 

 without inspection. 



Theodore F. Borst, of South Fram- 

 ingham, said that unless the change is 

 made, Massachusetts nurserymen will 



THE IMPROVED CANNA 



"The Canna is no longer a foliage plant only, but is now a blooming bedder, producing 

 the most stunning color effects procurable. 



"To Antoine Wlntzer. Vice-President The Conard & Jones Co., belongs the credit of pro- 

 ducing the finest cannas In existence, excepting only King Humbert. His Venus ^^as 

 a revelation to every one \7ho planted it, and now he has made a further record with 

 Mrs. Alfred Conard, a lovely peach pink with petalii as long as they are broad " 

 (From the paper by E. O. Hill before the Illinois State Florists' Asaoclatlon at Urbana, Feb. 9, 1911.) 



This week we want to give you some pointers on— 



THE BEST PINK CANNAS OF TODAY 



When prominent men like E. G. Hill express themselves as above, and other prominent 

 men have said the same thing regarding our Cannas, it seems unnecessary for us to add m(.re. 



In no color class has Mr. Wintzer with his new Hybridized Cannas made such distinct 

 and valuable contributions as to the list of Pink Cannas. Let us call your attention to a few 

 of the most valu able and attractive. 



MRS. ALFRED F. CONARD— Its great beauty makes it worthy to bear the name of 

 our good friend, the wife of our late President. Has vigorous habit of growth with green fo- 

 liage ; heads of bloom erect and abundantly furnished : the flowers have a magnificent spread 

 to their petals, which are an exquisite shade of Peach Pink. Height, 3 feet. Orders booked 

 for 1912. 



VXNUS— A veritable "self-cleanine" Canna, the old blossoms drop of 

 themselves Just as tbey besrin to fade, so that tbe truss al^^ay s looks bricbt and 

 fresh. A beautiful say rosy pink, with a mottled border of creamy yellow. 

 Strons constitution, fine sreen follaKe and alvraya brilliant wltti bloom. 

 Height, 4 feet. Price. 9Uc per dozen; $7.00 per 100; $60 per 1000.
