Snowy White Canna MONT BLANC 
MONT BLANC was 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, and so 
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. Its 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 illustration from photograph. Strong plants, 50 cts. each; $2.50 for 6, delivered.
