A New Race of 



Beautiful Flowers 



NEW BRONZE-LEAVED CANNAS 



Until within the past few years dark-leaved Cannas have been grown for their beautiful foliage alone, for their blooms were 

 so insignificant that they did not add at all to the beauty of the plant. As a result of our extensive hybridizing operations, we 

 have originated, and now offer to our customers, a Collection of Dark-Leaved Cannas vt^itli full large Flowers of the 

 most beautiful colors. As can easily be imagined, these gorgeous blossoms, as they tower above the soft bronzed foliage, 

 form a striking color contrast that is extremely effective and pleasing.
