BEAUTIFUL CANNAS 



Carinas are called the poor man's Orchid because one may possess a perfect riot of color in his yard 

 or garden for the minimum of both outlay and labor. They grow rapidly and bloom luxuriantly through- 

 out a long season, requiring merely ordinary hoeing and weeding, and they always respond to plenty 

 of water. Soak the ground thoroughly. Planted in beds of any formal shape, in rows or in front of 

 porches and foundation walls, their rich, tropical foliage and bright bloom will repay their care and the 

 insignificant trouble of winter storage. 



35 cents each; $3.50 per dozen; $30.00 per hundred. 



KING HUMBERT — In this grand Italian Canna we 

 have a combination of the highest type of flower 

 with the finest bronze foliage. Its flowers, which 

 under ordinary cultivation will measure six inches 

 in diameter, and which are produced in heavy 

 trusses of gigantic size, are of a brilliant orange- 

 scarlet, with bright red markings, while the foli- 

 age is broad and massive and of a rich coppery 

 bronze with brownish green markings. Five feet. 



THE PRESIDENT — Four feet. This Canna is su- 

 perior to any other red variety in the quality and 

 also the quantity of bloom. Color rich glowing 

 scarlet and the immense firm flowers are produced 

 on strong erect stalks well above the large, rich 

 green foliage. The foliage is entirely free from 

 disease. 



Plant Carinas by the dozen and the hundred, there is nothing 

 more attractive for bedding purposes. 



This is the 'way a bed of King Humbert or The President looks.
