KING HUMBERT —lIn 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 Wright red markings, while the foliage is broad and massive 
and of a rich coppery bronze with brownish-green markings. 
Five feet. 35 cents each; $3.50 per dozen; $30.00 per 
hundred.

Plant Cannas by the dozen and the hundred, there is nothing more attractive for bedding 
large, rich green foliage. ‘‘The President” is superior to any 
other red variety in the quantity and also the quality of bloom, 
and the firm flowers resist drought and heat to a remarkable 
degree. A large bed of this variety was planted last year on 
the grounds of the Washington Monument, Washington, D. C. 
Another ‘‘President’’ Canna bed was on the Garden Pier at 
Atlantic City, while several more were to be seen in the largest 
public parks in this country where these beautiful flowers 
Ee aired the unqualified admiration of every Canna lover. 
Naturally a tremendous demand has been created. We con- 
sider this the best red Canna ever sent out. 40 cents each; 
$4.00 per dozen; $35.00 per hundred. 
This is the way a bed of King Euambere or The President looks.

but unlike anything on the market today: Its blossoms are 
massive, but it is not its bigness that captivates you, it is its 
Color. A great peach orchard in full bloom with its rich pink, 
its warm flesh and glints of gold only suggests the beginning 
of the color scheme in this new child of the Canna family.
