20 ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. __ 



BEAUTIFUL CANNAS I 



Cannas 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 gaudy bloom will repay their care and the 

 insignificant trouble of winter storage. 



NOVELTIES IN CANNAS AND THOSE THAT ARE RARE 



EUREKA — This is the only white flowering Canna 

 that ever amounted to anything. It is a good 

 grower, free bloomer and pure white in color; 

 large flowers and truss. 35 cents. 



FIREBIRD — This is by all means the very best red 

 flowered Canna; gigantic trusses of immense flow- 

 ers with petals two and one-half inches to three 

 inches and over across. The color is a clear, 

 glistening scarlet without streaks or spots of 

 any kind. Don't fail to try it. 4 feet. 35 

 cents. 



HUNGARIA — This Canna catches the eye insistently 

 and demands attention. The petals are round and 

 waxy, made up into big round trusses. Its color 

 forcibly suggests the well-known "Paul Neyron" 

 Rose, and is unquestionably the most attractive 

 and fascinating pink Canna ever produced. 3% 

 feet. 30 cents. 



KATE F. DEEMER — The grand flowers open a rich 

 oriole-yellow, which gradually gives place to a 

 turkey-red in throat of the flower, this in strik- 

 ing contrast with the rest of the blossom, which 

 turns almost white. Thus two colors of flowers 

 will be on the same stalk at one time. This 

 makes a fascinating combination, and is the most 

 unusual of all Cannas. 4 feet. 25 cents. 



MRS. ALFRED F. CONRAD — A most remarkable 

 variety, with exquisite salmon-pink flowers of 

 largest size in erect and abundantly furnished 

 heads. So freely produced as to keep up a superb 

 showing of its fine bloom for months above the 

 rich green foliage; extra fine. 4 feet. 30 cents. 



OLYMPIC — A captivating shade of orient-red with 

 center flamed a lighter shade as though overcast 

 with a sheen of silver; immense heads of gigantic 

 flowers. Superb. 4 feet. 35 cents. 



PANAMA — The color is an attractive rich orange- 

 red, with a well-defined edge of bright golden- 

 yellow. The flowers are very large and the im- 

 mense spread of the individual blooms coupled 

 with its early free flowering habit makes this 

 Canna noteworthy. 30 cents. 



QUEEN HELEN — Immense flowers that are as large 

 as the Orchid-flowering Cannas. Color golden- 

 yellow evenly and distinctly spotted red. This 

 Canna ranks right up with King Humbert. We 

 have no hesitancy in saying there is no better 

 Canna grown. 4% feet. 35 cents. 



ROSEA GIGANTEA — Extra large flowers, borne in 

 such great abundance that the mass of color is 

 truly amazing; a deep, rich rose, almost coral- 

 carmine; soft and lovely; one of the most beauti- 

 ful Cannas grown. 4 feet. 30 cents. 



SPECIAL — One Each of the Nine Newer Cannas, Costing $2.85, 



Sent for Only $2.35. 



STANDARD VARIETIES OF CANNAS 



15 Cents Each, Except Where Noted. 



CALnfORNIA — A pure rich orange or old gold. No other 

 Canna color like it. 4 feet.

 played above the foliage. A conspicuous bedder. 3% feet.

 let, mottled with deep red, and with crinkly-edged 

 petals 3 Vi feet.

 pered with bright red spots. 3V 2 feet. 



GUSTAVE GUMPFER — Rich golden-yellow. Extra fine. 

 20 cents. 



GLADIATOR — A very showy bedding Canna, with large 

 flowers of brassy-yellow, speckled in bright red. The 

 long center petal and lower petals are a solid dark red, 

 making a most striking contrast to the predominating 

 yellow. 3% feet. 20 cents. 



JEAN TISSOT — A rich shade of scarlet in large trusses. 

 One of the brightest and best. 4 feet. 



KING HUMBERT — In this grand Canna we have a com- 

 bination of the highest type of flower with the finest 

 bronze foliage. It has flowers as large as the Orchid- 

 flowering Cannas. Six inches across, in trusses of 

 gigantic size; of a brilliant orange-scarlet with bright 

 red markings. The foliage is broad and massive, of a 

 rich coppery-bronze; bold and effective. "King Hum- 

 bert" is the one ideal Canna. 4V 2 feet. 20 cents. 



MEPHISTO — A brilliant deep, rich red; a wonderfully 

 satisfying Canna. 3% feet. 20 cents. 



METEOR — Immense trusses of large, rounded flowers, 

 well displayed above the massive foliage; brilliant

 feet. 25 cents.
