THE DINGER & CONARD COMPANY 



Ou\^ golid Cr^im^^oQ pcdi^r^ec Canoa 



fNTRODUCED Spring of 1895. Nom^ offered to the trade for the first time. Many of the leading 

 growers ordered stock plants the past Spring at $1.50 each, because it is beyond question the 

 grandest and most beautiful Canna ever grown. Its market value will be always high. Twice 

 color plated, its introduction has been national. It is known everywhere and cannot fail to be a 

 ready seller. It rarely grows more than three feet in height and commences to bloom when but 

 six to eight inches from the ground. The individual flowers are large, more than four inches in 

 diameter, heavy in textvire and are of the most refined reflexed form so much sought after, 

 and which is found in no other Canna ; they cluster around the stem in an even manner, giving the 

 truss the grace and finish of a Hyacinth spike. The immense trusses of bloom are borne aloft in a 

 firm, yet most graceful manner. The size of the truss is enormous— usually a foot in height and 

 seven to eight inches in diameter. It blooms continuously throughout the growing season, both 

 indoors and in open ground. Two or more side spikes are generally provided, which replace in 

 succession the main truss as soon as its bloom has faded. 



Of the color, it need only be said that it is an intense glowing crimson, without a spot or 

 blemish of any kind. The luxuriant deep green foliage serves to make the gorgeous aspect of the 

 flowers more effective. Its brilliant beauty, which means high decorative value, is bound to make 

 it a plant of the greatest value to all growers. We invite a careful comparison with any Canna of 

 its color which will effectually demonstrate its superiority. It will not lose its lustre under the test 

 of critical comparison, but will stand out as the most magnificent all-around Canna now in 

 cultivation.
