20 MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 
BEAUTIFUL LILY=CANNAS 
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 throughout a long season, requiring merely or- 
dinary 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 Green-Leaved, Truss-Flowering Cannas 
In the Truss-flowering Cannas, the individual flowers are smaller than in the Orchid-flowering Cannas, but more of them 
open at a time, thus making a truss of bloom of great effectiveness. 
DUKE OF YORK—Not the newest Canna, but the best pink. 
It blooms prodigiously. Immense heads of large individual 
florets. A clear, even pink, with throat of cream and broad- 
ly edged with a border of gold. Extremely beautiful and 
fascinating. 414 feet. 20 cents. 
FIREBIRD—This is by all means the very best red flowered 
Canna; gigantic trusses of immense flowers with petals 214 
to 3 inches and over across. The color is a clear glistening 
scarlet without streaks or spots of any kind. Don’t fail to 
y it. 4 feet. $1.00 each. 
GLADIOFLORA Remarkable for the unusual shape of the 
flowers, which look like large Gladioli. Petals are rounded 
and so wide they overlap each other. Color is carmine-rose, 
edged with gold; beautiful. 314 feet. 20 cents. 
GUSTAV GUMPFER—An ideal bedder, possessing the prac- 
tical qualities of compact growth, free and continuous bloom- 
ing, and self-cleaning habit; uniform flower; heads well 
above the foliage. Color, the richest kind of orange-yellow; 
extra. 314 feet. 15 cents. 
HALLEY’S COMET—A striking addition to the galaxy of Star 
Cannas. Flowers large, of blazing scarlet. The throat is 
pure yellow, and with a narrow thread of pure yellow around 
each wavy edged petal. 314 feet. 20 cents. 
HARRY LAING—Large, well rounded flowers of a rich glow- 
ing scarlet suffused with orange. 5 feet. 20 cents. 
HUNGARIA—This Canna catches the eye insistently and de- 
mands 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. 31% feet. 
20 cents. 
JENNIE WALLS FAHNLINE — This glorious combination of 
pink and primrose arouses enthusiasm always on account of 
its immense flowers and dainty coloring and unique mark- 
ings. The tips of the petals are flashing carmine-pink which 
shades towards a throat of soft primrose delicately dappled 
pink, each petal faintly edged with gold. Effect is dainty, 
artistic and fascinating. 4% feet. 50 cents. 
KATE F. DEEMER—The grand flowers open a rich oriole- 
yellow, which gradually gives place to turkey-red in throat 
of the flower, this in striking contrast with the rest of the 
blossom, which turns almost white. Thus two colors of flow- 
ers will be on the same stalk at one time. This makes a 
fascinating combination, and is -the most unusual of all 
Cannas. 4 feet. 20 cents. 
LOVELINESS—tThe color of this exquisite Canna is most dif- 
ficult to describe. Bright ruby-red will convey the entrancing 
loveliness of this most charming variety. 3 feet. 25 cents.

is shaded and mottled in beautiful fashion an attractive 
enchantress-pink; flowers very large; extra fine. 414 feet. 
50 cents. 
MARVEL—Flowers a bright scarlet-red, edged with gold on 
inside of petals, outside of petals yellow streaked with scar- 
let, giving the whole flower an illuminating effect, as of 
light seen through stained glass, of striking effect. 314 feet. 
25 cents. 
MRS. ALFRED F. CONARD—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 
Tich green foliage; extra fine. 4 feet. 20 cents.

flamed a lighter shade as though overcast with a sheen of 
silver; immense heads of gigantic flowers. Superb. 4 feet. 
50 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. 444 feet. $2.00 each.

abundance that the mass of color is truly amazing; a deep 
rich rose, almost a coral-carmine; soft and lovely; one of 
the most beautiful Cannas grown. 4 feet. 20 cents.

scarlet and gold. The best of all gilt-edged Cannas. 4
