THREE NEW ffi 

 "GOOD LUCK" CANNAS 



Creations of the late Antoine Wintzer 



Thoroughly tested to determine their fitness to add to 

 the enjoyment of Canna enthusiasts, are these very latest 

 arrivals in the Canna-world. Thus, you run no risk in 

 getting them; rather, you have the opportunity to keep your 

 list wide-awake with varieties "in the modern manner." 



Mere words can only inadequately describe such mar- 

 velous creations as are offered here, but perhaps there is 

 concrete evidence of their vast superiority in the fact that 

 discerning representatives of the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture have already made a generous selection. 



In order that you may realize fully from these modern 

 Cannas, and acquaint your trade with them, would it not 

 be well to plant a display in front of your place or at some 

 prominent point? Not only will you be able to personally 

 study these varieties, but they will advertise your business 

 and add to your cash returns in a way to please you. 



!fi ANTOINE WINTZER 



Named in honor of the greatest Canna hybridist and 

 enthusiast this country has ever known, this variety is the 

 most gorgeous, dazzling crimson color yet brought forth. 

 Great proud heads of long-petaled blooms shimmer and flash 

 in the sunlight as they softly move in the summer breeze. 



Before his passing Mr. Wintzer chose this Canna as his 

 best red, and it is a pleasure to be able to announce this 

 memorial to him. Height, 4 ft. 



Dormant roots: $3.50 each. Six for $20.00 



tfj COMMANDER BYRD 



Richard E. Byrd, South Pole explorer extraordinary, 

 just before sailing from Los Angeles wired consent to name 

 for him this, one of the best near- white Cannas yet produced. 



The flower heads are beautifully formed, on erect stems 

 above the green foliage, and keep repeating until hard frost. 

 Each single bloom is perfect, and a truss of fifteen to twenty, 

 all showing at once, gives a cool effect during the hot summer 

 when Cannas are in their glory. Height, 4 ft. 



Dormant roots: $3.50 each. Six for $20.00
