NEW GIANT VARIEGATED CANNA, DUKE OF 

 YORK— We consider this one of the most magnificent va- 

 riegated Cannas ever introduced. It is also the largest. 

 Plants are strong and sturdy, foliage a beautiful light green, 

 very tough and most luxuriant. Its gorgeously colored flow- 

 ers bloom in great bunches well above the foliage, making 

 plants over 5 feet tall. Single blossoms are immense, color 

 a beautiful rich deep crimson with a throat of curiously mot- 

 tled creamy white and each petal exquisitely edged with 

 an irregular border of fine gold. The whole effect is most 

 beautifully striking. Price 50 cts. each, postpaid. 



NEW CANNA, DUCHESS OF YORK- Enormous bunches 

 of flowers keep the plants a glorious mass of color the whole 

 season, and such^ colors as you never saw. Flowers are 

 bright flashing yellow, which is mottled and marbled all over 

 with the most fantastic figures of light orange, crimson, 

 scarlet and pink. Flowers are large and borne well up 

 above the light green foliage. A sturdy vigorous grower 4 

 feet high. 40 cts. each, postpaid. 



NEW BRONZE I.EAF CANNA, EASTERN BEAUTY 



— The flowers are a charming shade of light salmon and 

 orange that changes after two or three days to a most at- 

 tractive flesh pink ; this color is retained until the flowers 

 drop off to leave room for fresh ones bursting into bloom. 

 The petals are broad and of excellent substance not easily 

 damaged by winds and storms. Eastern Beauty is a free 

 bloomer and has well-filled branching trusses, height 4 to 5

feet. Its fine strong foliage deserves special mention, leaves 

 are of good substance and very dark green which is shaded 

 and veined with soft deep bronze. 40 cts. each, postpaid. 



NEW YELLOW BRONZE LEAVED CANNA 



EVOLUTION— "Evolution" is bound to be popular because 

 of the extremely rare and pleasing combination of colors 

 in foliage and flowers. It belongs to that small family of 

 Cannas with dark bronze foliage, and of all these is the 

 nearest approach to a pure yellow flower yet produced. 

 The flowers are beautiful, the ends of the petals seem to have 

 been deeply -dipped in rich golden yellow, which shades in 

 through dainty tints of canary, lemon and sulphur to a centre 

 of beautiful blush pink. The flowers alone are intensely rich 

 in appearance, but when seen in contrast with the dark red 

 leaves the effect is doubly striking. Plants are good healthy 

 growers in every way, height 4 feet. 60 cts. each, 

 postpaid. 



NEW CRIMSON CANNA, BRANDYWINE— Any one 



who loves beautiful flowers will surely be interested in the 

 Brandywine. The plant is a vigorous and healthy grower of 

 4 to 4j^ feet. The broad dark bronze leaves are beautifully 

 veined and always make a luxuriant growth. The flowers 

 are magnificent and in great bunches fairly cover the mas- 

 sive foliage. Color is an intense vinous red, beautifully dap- 

 pled with deep crimson that glistens and shines like finest 

 silk ; frequently the flowers have two or three petals nar- 

 rowly edged with bright gold, very odd and sure to please. 

 Price, 40 cts. each, postpaid.
