they might be called the ‘‘GRAND PRIZE’”’ set, for you have here a complete assortment of 
large flowering kinds in the finest crimson, pink, yellow and variegated colors, with either 
bronze foliage or green. For all ’round good qualities they are absolutely unsurpassed unless 
by the new ones on page 49. 
Fairest Pink Canna, ‘*Betsy Ross’’—(Named 
after the illustrious maker of the first American flag, 
our Mrs. S. Morris Jones being a direct descend- 
ant). We think this is one of the loveliest, sweetest

duced. A compact grower with solid well-filled 
trusses, flowers always bright and fresh; certainly 
a beauty. About three feet. (Green Foliage.)

ing tihrough our Canna fields stop short in front of ‘‘ Gladz- 
ator’ every time. The tng, round flowers of bright yellow 
petals are thickly spotted with pure crimson, smaller 
centre petals are solic crimson, rich and glowing: blooms 
profusely. Heads are unusually large and borne on long 
strong stalks with tough deep-green foliage. ‘‘Gladiator”’ 
wiil stand the storms better than any other Canna there 
is unless it be ‘“‘ Buttercup.” Height, four to five feet.
