Snowy White Canna MONT BLANC (See illustration above) 
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 withit. 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. Itisa strong-growing variety, and will produce from fifteen to twenty flower stalks ina sea- 
son. 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. See also above combination offer.
