GIANT ORCHID-FLOWERING LILY-CANNAS 
These Cannas are ina class by themselves, because of their wonderful size, and the rare and beautiful formation of their flowers, 
suggestive of the beauty of the tropical orchids. With their height of generally 6 to 7 feet, they tower above the average Canna, and the 
luxuriant foliage is as large as that of caladium, or elephant’s ear. Try a few and get acquainted with these stately beauties.

AWINTZER’S COLOSSAL 
5 feet. (No. 4518) 
Without doubt the largest-flowered Canna to date, as the 
average flowers more than cover a man’s hat. 
It is an improvement over all others in the orchid-flower- § 
ing class. With its superior substance it seems to revel in 
the hot sunshine with impunity, and promises to give satis- 
faction in the most tropical sections. The color is a strikingly 
vivid scarlet that retains its brilliancy. Generous green 
foliage. For size, color and endurance, Wintzer’s Colossal 
is not only a veritable prize-winner, but far ahead of its 
nearest rival. Strong plants $3 each, prepaid.
