BUTTERFLY CANNA, GOLDEN WINGS 



(Flowers shown halt natural size.) 



GANNAS. 



Golden Wings. 



In Golden wings 



we have a grand 

 sort decorated in a unique manner. Through 

 a golden field are scattered irregular spots 

 and blotches of deep brownish crimson and \^ 

 orange scarlet, with great patches of color in '• ^ 

 the centre of the flowers. No Orchid is more %y^ 

 generously endowed than this in the distribution ^» 

 of colors ; no butterfly is more pleasingly decorated. 

 It is with the purpose of accentuating this rare color- 

 ing that we have given it the title of the "Butterfly" Canna as the 

 only appropriate one fitting its appearance ; at a little distance the 

 flowers look like golden butterflies fluttering above the green leaves. 

 The natural height is four and a half feet ; splendid foliage and 

 branching flower stalks. Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



The color is a, brilliant vermilion scarlet, 

 bordered with deep golden, yellow ; the flowers 

 are borne in great clusters and in such profusion that they 

 crown the plant with a blaze of glowing color. The foliage is vivid 

 green, broad and massive ; the habit of the plant is compact and 

 vigorous, its natural height being rarely more than four feet. Price, 

 dormant roots, which can be sent by mail if desired, and supplied up 

 to May Ist, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100. Established plants growing 

 in 4 inch pots (ready May 1st), $3.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100.
