 spikes shoot up to a height of six 

 feet, each one bearing fine, big clus- 

 ters of orchid-like flowers. Color is

 ft.) — At the Louisiana Purchase Expo- 

 sition, St. Louis, 1904, where all the 

 finest Cannas were on exhibition — "Lou- 

 isiana" was pronounced the finest or- 

 chid-flowering kind in existence. The 

 plant is a vigorous grower, producing 

 a thick mass of glossy green foliage; its 

 flowers are like beautiful orchids; size 

 often more than 7 inches across, and 

 every inch a vivid 

 scarlet. It blooms 

 tremendously, often 4 

 or 5 stalks flowering 

 at once. You cannot 

 conceive of anything 

 more gorgeous. Its 

 intense beauty and 

 brilliancy are simply 

 indescribable.

 sive orange-colored blossoms, true 

 orchid shaped, with large rounded

 mant roots, by express collect. Potted plants of most

B— NEW YORK 



(6 ft.)— Truly 

 an acquisition. 

 The size and 

 vigorous hab- 

 it of the plant, the more 

 than ordinary beauty of 

 its quiet, purple foliage, 

 and the size and brillian- 

 cy of its torch-like flow- 

 er heads, com'bine to 

 place it immediately in 

 the front rank of the 

 giant plants with orchid 

 flowers. The foliage is deep 

 green, heavily veined, and 

 marked with a rich purple 

 plum color that would 

 make the plant itself at- 

 tractive even if it had no 

 flowers; but it has 5 or 6 

 stalks of them at once on 

 .every well-fed plant. Flow- 

 ers with five petals 5 to 7 

 in. across, intense carmine, 

 and all above the foliage. 



90c per dozen;
