NEW and RARE CANNAS for 1907 
As extensive originators and introducers of first-class Cannas, we have made it our special aim to bring their standard 
of excellence to the highest possible point. Therefore we are particularly careful in introducing new ones, to select from our 
extensive list of valuable seedlings only those that have shown a decided superiority over existing sorts. Always send to us 
for the original stock. All the Cannas on this page were originated and introduced by us, 
Ottawa (6 ft., C. and J. Seedling No. 2060)—One of the richest acquisitions in recent years. Promi- 
’ nent flower authorities when going through our Canna fields last summer were amazed at its unusual 
color and extraordinary abundance of bloom. Another very valuable quality is that it is in 
color “‘unlike any other.” Ottawa is a strong robust grower more than 6 feet high, with massive 
rich green foliage, above which on strong stalks are the flower stems, much branched and so tull of 
blossoms as to make them look like the feathered plumes of some gay bird—a veritable bank of bloom. 
The flowers are from 5 to 6 inches across and beautifully formed, color is carmine with tints of old rose 
and deep coral, add to this the silken sheen and you can imagine the effect a few plants will produce. 
NOTE :—We had this Canna on trial among the Canadian Experiment Stations last season and this is the official 
report of their expert: ‘‘ Quite distinct and one of the most beautiful shades of color I ever saw in Cannas. Of 70 
massed in one bed during the past season, this was the most floriferous in the collection, coming into bloom early and 
continuing until cut down by frost, as many as 13 expanded heads of bloom being counted at one time on a plant, and 
not a poos Que amoag them, all being of immense Size.’’ Price, well-started plants 50 cts. each; 3 for $1.25, postpaid.

The size, color and 
beauty of this Cannais

Snowy White Canna MONT BLANC (See Illustration above) 
Mont Blanc (3% ft.) introduced by us in 1902, and is to-day, by all odds, the finest White Canna in 
commerce; in fact there is no other variety that can compare with it. It has a vigorous constitution, 
blooms early and continuously in the greatest profusion during the whole growing season. Its foliage is 
bright glossy green, very large and handsome, andso thick and leathery it is not often injured by rain 
or wind. It is a strong-growing variety, and will produce from fifteen to twenty flower stalks in a season. 
{ts great masses of snowy-white blossoms contrast finely with the splendid crimson and pink varieties, 
making the most gorgeous and showy flower beds for the lawn or garden it is possible to have. See 
Pe ion from photograph. Strong plants, 50 cts. each; $2.50 for 6, delivered. See also combination 
elow.
