NEW FLORAL GUIDE, 
SPRING 1911._ 
BRONZE-LEAVED CANNA LILIES 
- These Canna Lilies are entirely different from any others and sure to attract attention wherever seen. 
The foliage, instead of being green, is a rich bronze or purple plum color, sometimes a solid shade, but 
often attractively striped, edged or variegated with olive brown or bronze. Ten years ago this class of 
Cannas had no flowers worth mentioning, but because of its beautiful tropical leaves, it was prized as 
a foliage plant. Since then, skilled hybridizers (our vice-president, Mr. Wintzer, is one of the most 
prominent), have developed these Bronze-Leaved Cannas until now they produce flowers as large and 
fine as the best of the green-leaved plants, in beautiful colors, too, that contrast and harmonize most 
effectively with the dark-colored foliage. LF WILLIAM S AUNDERS
