tfiAMERICAN PEDIGREE CANNAStfi 



Cannas are almost indispensable where a display of vivid color is needed. 

 They bloom abundantly and unceasingly during hot summer months when 

 other bright flowers may be wilting, and continue until cut down by hard 

 frost. No other flower ojp like value grows more easily, gives more bloom, and 

 requires less care. In this and the foHowing five pages we ofl'er you the cream 

 of the World's Cannas. The kinds marked Ifi were produced and introduced 

 by this firm. The fact that these Ifi varieties stiU continue in favor throughout 

 the nursery trade is ample evidence of our high standard. 



Thousands of visitors to Washington are impressed with the beauty of 

 the pubhc grounds, on which great beds of Cannas are planted annually 

 to add a touch of gaiety to the spacious lawns such as no other summer- 

 flowering plant could produce. The beds of Cannas give continuous, bril- 

 liant bloom all summer and until cut down by frost. Our Cannas are in 

 demand near and far away. At this writing we have an order from one of 

 the largest muncipahties in South Africa for a shipment of our new Pedigree 

 Cannas, which we are to select, as a similar shipment, sent four years ago, 

 was such a success. 



For those who prefer vivid, cheery colors we have The President, red, 

 Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont, bright pink, or King Midas, sparkling yellow. In the 

 pastel shades are Palm Beach and Victory. Other colors range from ox-blood- 

 red to light yellow. Do not plant Cannas until all danger of frost is past.
