No. 4. NEW WHITE CANNA 



Hi Mont Blanc— Improved 



A Canna Lily of almost pure whiteness and a 

 Summer blooming rival of the Easter Lily. Mont 

 Blanc Improved has a decidedly stronger consti- 

 tution and more luxuriant green foliage than its 

 antecedent— but its crowning beauty is in the 

 increased size and beauty of its blossoms, which are 

 produced in great profusion all season. (See il- 

 lustration No. 4.) Price, 35c. each, or large 

 plants, 50c. each, postpaid. 



No. 1. * ROSEA GIGANTEA 



Compare the size of No. 1 with the other four 

 kinds shown in the illustration on this page and 

 then get a better advance idea of its grand 

 beauty from our inside back cover page. Rosea 

 Gigantea is a Canna Extraordinary. See page 131. 



No. 2. ffi METEOR 



A vigorous grower with healthy 

 foliage. Each root usually pro- 

 duces five or six trusses of bloom, 

 which continue flowering the en- 

 tire Summer. Flowers are im- 

 mense and produced in great 

 abundance ; color, a deep crim' 

 son, unusually pleasing and effect- 

 ive. Height, five feet. 

 Price, strong plants, 50c. 

 each, postpaid. 



No. 3. ffi Minnehaha 



Form much like Mont 

 Blanc (see illustration). Blossoms 

 are extra large and borne in great 

 clusters ; petals are long, grace- 

 fully curved and have wavy edges. 

 It looks like an orchid 

 with its exquisite opales- 

 cent tints; colors that 

 remind one of a dainty 

 transparent sea shell, 

 deepening through shades 

 of gold and cream to a cen- 

 ter of peach-blow pink. 

 Minnehaha is an entirely 

 new ' 'break," extremely 

 beautiful and different 

 from any other yet intro- 

 duced. Height, three to 

 four feet. Price, good 

 strong plants, $1.00 each, 

 prepaid. 



No.5. M Gladio-Flora 



Eemarkable for the 

 unusual shape of the flowers, 

 which look like large gladiolus. 

 Petals are not long and tongue- 

 shaped, but short and rounded 

 and so wide they overlap each 

 other, thus giving a very attrac- 

 tive, rounded appearance to the flowers. Color 

 is crimson, changing to carmine rose with an 

 uneven edge of gold to each petal. Height, three 

 and one-half feet. Price, strong plants, $1.00 each, 

 prepaid. 



ffi "WAWA" (1909) 



A new shade of pure, soft pink and indescrib- 

 ably lovely. An immense bloomer, continuing 

 to bear large trusses of exquisite lily-like flowers 

 the entire season. It is a vigorous grower with 

 handsome green foliage and is three to four feet 

 high. Price, strong plants, 50c. each, postpaid,
