FIVE RECENT FAVORITES 



These magnificent, large-flowered, free-blooming Cannas are a source of 

 wonder and delight to many of our visitors, who have known Cannas only as 

 large-leaved, small-flowered, uninteresting plants. Now we have the results of 

 almost thirty years of patient hybridizing by our late vice-president, Mr. Antoine 

 Wintzer, who, more than all other Americans combined, made the present-day, 

 up-to-date Cannas the most gorgeous summer-flowering bedding plants known. 

 Besides changing the fohage, he produced an array of the lovehest colorings from 

 pure w^hite to deepest crimson, many shades of pink, yellow, apricot and inter- 

 mediate colors. Plant these gorgeous flowers, after danger of frost is past, and 

 they win bloom magnificently in from five to six weeks and then continuously 

 all summer and until the next frost. 



COPPER GIANT. 4 ft. Among the finest 

 of the yellow Cannas. Immense flowers of 

 madder-orange, suffused with rose, are 

 produced in great heads on strong, upright 

 stems which hold the blooms well above the 

 healthy green foliage. Very eff^ective when 

 massed. $1 each, postpaid. 

 ffi LAIRD'S FAVORITE. 4 ft. In the tinted 

 yellows there is none more attractive than 

 this, with its coloring of rich orange-yellow 

 shaded apricot along the edges of the 

 petals. A large, glowing, bright flower, and 

 a profuse bloomer. 75 cts. each, postpaid. 

 THE AMBASSADOR. 4 ft. BrilHant, 

 large, cherry-red flowers, borne freely on 

 strong stems well above the healthy bronze 

 foliage. _ Splendid for bedding. This 

 variety is spoken of as the "bronze-leaved 

 President." 75 cts. each, postpaid. 



ifi GOLDEN WEDDING. 3 ft. The finest 

 and most brilliant dwarf yellow Canna 

 ever grown. It excels all other yellow 

 varieties in firmness of petals. The flowers 

 are very large and stand well above the 

 foliage. We have used this Canna most 

 effectively for bordering beds of taller- 

 growing brilliant red varieties, such as 

 The President and Mohawk. 75 cts. each, 

 postpaid. 



ffiRAZZLE DAZZLE. 4 ft. The flowers are 

 large, but not of the largest type. They 

 are exquisitely colored crimson-maroon 

 and, each petal being edged with brilliant 

 yellow, makes a dazzling effect. One of the 

 prettiest Cannas we have. The long rows 

 of this variety in our Canna fields were 

 greatly admired by visitors to our nurseries 

 during last summer. 75 cts. each, postpaid.

a PALM BEACH. 31/2 to 4 ft. (See cut, 

 pa^e 73.) Broad, long-petaled flowers of
