NOTI C E 



WE make a specialty of growing r\e"W Canriias. vSeveral thousand new seedlings are 

 started each year, and we think that we are quite safe in saying that the great variety of 

 colors presented in these trial fields cannot be dullicated anywhere else, the world over. 

 These are not all chance seedlings by any means ; many of them come from seed that has been 

 carefully hybridized, and the improvement that comes from careful work of this kind is very 

 noticeable. We have had several generations at times growing in the same patch, and it is truly 

 interesting to notice the great advance in color, form and durable qualities that has been produced 

 by the work of the careful hybridizer. These Canna patches are always interesting to look over 

 during the latter part of the Summer, ar\d we extend a cordial invitation to 

 all Q\ir friends to come and see tKem, 1^ >^ >^ >^ 1^ ^
