MONT BLANC 



IF ever a Canna jumped into popularity MONT BLANC was that Canna. It was introduced by us 

 in 1902, and has been in large demand ever since. It is by all odds the finest w^hite Canna in 

 commerce ; in fact, there is no other variety that can compare with it. Alout Blanc has a vigor- 

 ous constitution. It blooms early and continuously in the greatest profusion the whole growing sea- 

 son. Its foliage is bright gloss}' green, ver}- large and handsome, and so thick and leathery it is 

 not often injured by rain or wind. It is a strong growing, vigorous variety, and will produce 

 from fifteen to twenty flower stalks in a season. Its great masses of snowy -white blossoms contrast 

 finely with the crimson varieties, making the most gorgeous and show}' flower beds for the lawn 

 or garden it is possible to have. 35 cents each ; $3.59 per dozen ; $25.03 per lOD ; $203.00 per 1000. 



New Canna "HARI^E-QUIN"— It is a pleasure to introduce this splendid New 

 Canna, which for brilliancy of color we believe is unsurpassed. The petals are blazing fiery red, 

 dotted and edged with a deep band of brilliant yellow. The effect is truly dazzling. In the sun- 

 light the colors seem to fairh' flash and dance together, till it makes one blink to watch them. 

 The flowers of "Harlequin" are not large, but they are beautifully formed. It is a low growing va- 

 riety, with green foliage. 15 cents each ; $1.50 per dozen ; $10.00 per 100. 



New Bronze-Leaved Canna, *'HIAWATHA"— Medium height and 

 perfectly formed from the ground up. Foliage is a beautiful bronze, not a deep, dull, dead 

 bronze, but bright striped and variegated with rich green. But its flowers are its crowning glory, 

 borne as they are in big bunches on strong straight stalks. Individual flowers are medium size, 

 gracefully rounded and slightly crimpled. Color is a delicate tint of rosy pink daintily dappled 

 with silver blush, and finished off with a border of clear cerise. A most charming combination. 

 Height about three feet. 15 cents each ; $1.50 per dozen ; $10.00 per 100. 



New Storm-Proof Canna, "GLADIATOR'*— Visitors walking through 

 our Canna field stop short in front of "Gladiator" ever}- time. The big, round flowers of bright 

 5ellow petals are thickl}^ spotted with pure crimson, smaller centre petals are solid crimson, rich 

 and glowing ; blooms profusely. Heads are unusually large and borne on long strong stalks with 

 tough deep-green foliage. 15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen ; $10.00 per 100. 



New Bronze-Leaved Canna, "CHAUTAUQUA"— A distinguished- 

 looking Canna. Flowers pure rich scarlet, intenseh' vivid ; has luxurious tropical foliage prettily 

 bronzed, and makes a sp)lendid color contrast with brilliant blossoms. "Chautauqua" has the 

 habit of holding its rich bunches of blooms high above the foliage, a feature which makes this va- 

 riety especiall}- valuable for massing. 15 cents each ; $1.50 per dozen ; $10.00 per 100.
