GIANT ORCHID-FLOWERING LILY CANNAS 



These Cannas are in a class by themselves, because of their wonderful size, and the rare and beautiful formation of their flowers, 

 suggestive of the beauty of the tropical orchids. With their height of 6 to 7 feet, they tower above the average Canna, and the lux- 

 uriant foliage is as large as elephants' ears. A single blossom of "Louisiana" often measures more than 7 inches across. Under a very 

 hot sun the fine silken petals of the average orchid-flowering Cannas sometimes show a tendency to wilt, but we feel that we have 

 largely overcome this in our latest introductions, which have still the exquisitely formed flowers, and, at the same time, petals of 

 such excellent substance that the hot sun does not afi^ect them.

 Purchase Exposition, St. 

 Louis, 1904, where all the

 It "Louisiana" will continue to 

 J its lead for some years yet. 

 The plant is a vigorous grower, pro- 

 ducing a thick mass of glossy green 

 ,^/ foliage; its flowers are often more than 

 ^ 7 inches across, and every inch a vivid
