This has become the most popular pink canna ever introduced and it is unsurpassed for planting either singly or in large beds 

 (see illustration at foot of page 46). Its exquisite salmon pink flowers are of largest size in erect and abundantly furnished heads 

 so freely produced as to keep a superb showing for months, ^o cts. each, postpaid. 



From the Executive Officer, White Plains, (N. Y.) Village Park Association, Inc. 



" * * * Last spring I sent you Si. 00 for a plant of Mrs. Alfred F. Conard Canna. I want now to say that it more than makes good your description. Its 

 many branched fiower spikes and over and beyond all, the exquisite soft color, combined with the firm and durable petals, make it a prince among Cannas. T 

 have received many times my money's worth during the last six weeks." CHAS. H. TIB BITS. Executive Officer, W. P. V. P. A. 



W OLYMPIC. 5 ft. The color effect 

 presented by "Olympic" is new in 

 Cannas and most fascinating. It is 

 a distinctly new departure, being a 

 most captivating shade of rich orient- 

 red with center flamed a lighter shade 

 and dappled carmine. Individual 

 blossoms are of the largest size, and 

 the huge twenty-flowered clusters 

 make heads that are simply immense. 

 (See cut). $1.00 each, postpaid. 



W GLADIOFLORA. 3^ ft. Remark- 

 able for the unusual shape of the 

 flowers, which look like large gladioli. 

 Petals are rounded and so wide they 

 overlap each other. Color is crimson, 

 changing to carmine-rose, edged with 

 gold. The bright, firm, well formed 

 blooms show up attractively above 

 the neat green foliage. 25 cts. each, 

 postpaid. (See cut). 



K METEOR (Wintzers). 5 ft. We've 

 a 10 ft. bed of Meteor on our office 

 grounds. The most solid mass of 

 deep dazzling crimson bloom produced 

 is spectacular. For thirteen weeks 

 have we watched and mars-elled as 

 each morning fresh flowers renewed 

 the brilliant scene. On green foliage, 

 undoubtedly our best red, and one that 

 will always be in the front rank when 

 a bright, brilliant crimson color is 

 desired. 35 cts. each, postpaid. 



» ROSEA GIGANTEA. 3>^ ft. The 



giant-sized flowers are wonderful. It 

 is a prodigious bloomer with great 

 flower heads of soft rose to carmine- 

 pink, darker than Mrs. Alfred F. 

 Conard Canna and by some preferred. 

 It has recently received the highest 

 award accorded any Canna. (The 

 Award of Merit from the Horticul- 

 tural Society of England). 30 cts. 

 each, postpaid. 

 S WILLIAM SAUNDERS. 4 ft. A 

 rival and superior to "King Humbert" 

 in that it continues all season a blaze 

 of bloom when "King Humbert" is 

 "off show." The individual flowers, 

 often 5 inches across, are bright 

 scarlet and they harmonize perfectly 

 with the beautiful bronze foliage. 



It is a strong, vigorous grower and 

 self cleaning, which means flowers 

 fresh every morning from June 'till 

 frost. 25 cts. each, postpaid. 



K SPLENDOR. 4^; ft. The most im- 

 pressive quality in this Canna is the 

 firm, well-spread-out formation of 

 the flowers, which are an intense 

 scarlet color and very large. It 

 makes 2 or 3 bloom heads on each 

 stalk, insuring flowers practically all 

 the time, as new blooms are con- 

 stantly appearing before the older 

 flowers fade. $1.00 each, postpaid. 



W KATE F. DEEMER. 4 ft. The grand 

 flowers open a rich, oriole-yellow 

 which gradually gives place to turkey- 

 red in the center and throat of the 

 flower, in striking contrast with the 

 rest of the blossom which turns almost 

 white. The rich yellow buds on red- 

 dish brown stems, combined with the 

 yellow and white flowers make a 

 fascinating combination. 50 cts. each 

 postpaid. 



!fi WABASH. 4 ft. The Bronze-leaved 

 "Rosea Gigantea." Flower is un- 

 usually large, petals broad and 

 borne in great abundance well above 

 the magnificent foliage. 



Well described as "Bronze-leaved 

 Rosea Gigantea," for this flower has 

 the same great size and carmine-pink 

 color as that famous novelty, adding 

 the advantage of handsome bronze 

 foliage. 50 cts. each, postpaid. 



SCONOWINGO. 5 ft. The color of 

 this flower is, like "Splendor", an 

 intense fiery scarlet, but slightly 

 deeper. Its great attraction, how- 

 ever, and difference from "Splendor," 

 is in the foliage, which is an unusually- 

 beautiful plum color at the base,, 

 shading to rich olive-green at the tip.. 

 The stately flowers are freely pro- 

 duced, and are very rich and beauti- 

 ful. 50 cts. each, postpaid.
