}R Snow Queen. 4 ft. 



The nearest approach to pure snovr- 

 white that has yet been reached in a large- 

 flowered Canna, and Mr. Wintzer is still 

 tr\-ing to produce an absolutely snow- 

 white variety. Snow Queen has dot'= oi 

 faintest pink, so faint, in fact, that they 

 are not noticeable unless the flower is 

 closely examined. In the garden the 

 effect is glistening white, and the demand 

 is so great that there is never enough to go 

 around, so order early. 50 cts. each, 

 postpaid. 



Variegated 



Ifi GLADIATOR. 5 ft. This Is one of the 

 sturdiest growing Cannas ever pro- 

 duced, and the strong-petaled flowers 

 resist sun, wind, and rain in a way few- 

 other flowers can do. The blooms are 

 brilliant sunny yellow, dotted with 

 bright red, and are entirely different 

 in color from any other Canna we offer. 

 In large beds the general effect is 

 yellow, and this variety has been 

 largely used on the Public Grounds at 

 Washington, D. C. 20 cts. each, ppd.

ifi GAIETY. 5 ft. Reddish orange mot- 

 tled with carmine and edged with yel- 

 low. Never was a Canna better 

 named, for Gaiety is a gay sight in our 

 fields and stands out distinctly^ from 

 the other colors around it. We en- 

 thusiastically recommend this kind as 

 one of the most attractive we know for 

 bedding. 25 cts. each, postpaid. 



Pink Shades

brilliant rose-pink variety ynth. ex- 

 ceptionally large flowers, which come 

 in compact heads making perfect 

 bouquets, standing well above the 

 foliage. There is no lovelier color in 

 Cannas, and a bed of this dwarf-grow- 

 ing beauty would delight you from the 

 end of June until frost. 40 cts. each, 

 postpaid. 

 ffi CITY OF PORTLAND. 31/2 ft. Glow- 

 ing salmon-pink; profuse bloomer. 

 Jvlagnificent for bedding, as it keeps 

 throwing up new heads of bloom con- 

 tinuously, and after the first blooms 

 appear, early in summer, a bed _ of 

 "City of Portland" is a mass of glowing 

 pink until frost. 25 cts. each, postpaid. 

 CUPID. 21/2 to 3 ft. The lively, fas- 

 cinating shade of pale lilac-rose is re- 

 markably attractive. In fact, the color, 

 sheen, and bountiful bloom of these 

 flowers convey the thought of 

 masses of shining opalescent 

 jewels. 50 cts. each, postpaid.
