‘“‘Giant-Flowering’’ Canna Lilies 
ALSO CALLED ‘“ ORCHID=FLOWERING’’ CANNAS 
HESE Cannas are giants in every way. They are in a class by themselves, because of their won- 
derful size, and also the rare and beautiful formation of their flowers, which has given them the 
name of Orchid=Flowering Cannas. They tower above the average Canna, their height is 6 or 
7 feet with luxuriant tropical foliage of broad leaves, as large as elephants’ ears. A single blossom of 
Louisiana often measures more than 7 inches across. Under a very hot sun the fine silken petals of the 
average orchid-flowering Cannas sometimes show a tendency to wilt, but we feel that we have largely 
overcome this in our latest introductions which have still the exquisitely formed flowers and, at the same 
time, petals of such excellent substance that the hot sun does not affect them.

PLANT A 
ROW OF OUR “I GRAND PRIZE CANNA 
* LOUISIANA”’’—(7 ft.) At the 
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. 
@ TV.ouis, 1904, where all the finest Cannas 
were on exhibition—‘“‘Louisiana’’ was pronounced the finest 
orchid-flowering kind in existence. The words of commendation that 
come from our customers, and the magnificent showing of bloom which this 
great plant makes on our trial grounds—as compared with other Cannas in 
this class heretofore introdueed—convinces us that ‘‘Louisiana’’ will continue 
to hold its lead for some years yet. The plant is a vigorous grower, producing 
a thick mass of glossy green foliage ; its flowers are like beautiful orchids; size 
often more than 7 inches across, and every inch a vivid scarlet. It blooms 
tremendously, often 4 or 5 stalks flowering at once. Price, 15c. each, postpaid. -
