ifi CANNAS 



You can get more display for less money, and attract 

 more trade with these Cannas, than by any other 

 means we know of. 



This was a field of gorgeous color all summer, whicli you ir>ay 

 have enjoyed while motoring past our grounds. 



Prices are for plump dormant divisions, 2 to 3 eyes, plus roots. Prices 

 of plants from 3-in. pots, ready May 1, are same as for dormant roots 

 except $3 per 100 must be added on all varieties priced below at less 

 than $8 per 100. 



Four Fine Novelties, Introduced in 1927 



We are delighted to offer our patrons a very choice assortment of new 

 Cannas. They have been selected by prominent visitors as well as our 

 own most critical experts and they constitute the cream taken from the 

 large collection of unintroduced seedlings left to us by our former Vice- 

 President, Antoine Wintzer, after thirty years of progressive hybridizing. 



We calculate that more than 50 per cent of the Cannas in first-class 

 American gardens today are of our own introduction, which in this cata- 

 logue are marked with a Swastika Jf^. The mere fact that so large a pro- 

 portion of what we first introduced still continue in favor is ample evidence 

 of our high standard. 



Among the newer introductions are to be found most lovely shades, as 

 charming as in orchids. What a relief they are from the old railroad 

 station reds, and truly a valuable contribution to the happy and alluring 

 colors of the summer garden. You will be delighted with these. 



HlDELICIOUS (10074). 3}^ ft. Large flowers with broad, round petals 

 of firm substance. Color is lemon-yellow, mottled with long dots of 

 old-rose. The heads of the flowers come early and are continuously in 

 bloom. Foliage is green. The individual flowers are not so attractive 

 but when massed in beds this Canna is very effective. Price, $1.00 

 each; $75 per 100. 



!fi HOLLYWOOD (10103.) 4 ft. A most beautiful Canna with green 

 leaves, bronzed stems, and nice open flower-heads. Color is orange- 

 pink, shading out to salmon-orange at the tips of the petals, and the 

 throat is clear begonia-rose. Flower-heads are borne well above the 

 foliage. A most outstanding color, different from anything else yet 

 produced. Price, $1.00 each; $75 per 100. 



SIlHONOLULU (10126). "Bronze-leaf City of Portland." 3 ft. 

 Splendid open flowers of La France pink heavily overlaid with deeper 

 pink. The lovely bronze foliage makes a nice setting for the dainty 

 pink blooms. The flowers are large, well-formed, and come in great 

 trusses well above the foliage. Has the same color and habit as "City 

 of Portland." Price, $1.50 each; $100 per 100. 



illMONTEZUMA (4931). 33^ ft. Rich, velvety firm flowers of Nopal 

 red and scarlet. A dazzling color remarkable for its brilliancy, and the 

 erect, firm stems carry great heads of these gorgeous flowers, high 

 above the decorative bronze foliage, which in itself is attractive even 

 if there were no blooms. This is the richest red Canna known up to 

 this time. Price, $1.00 each; $75 per 100.
