WHOLESALE PRICE-LIST 



: SPRING, 1930 : 



ifi "GOOD LUCK" CANNAS 



The new Canna, Mrs. Herbert Hoover 



ifi MRS. HERBERT HOOVER 



Mrs. Hoover, wife of the President of the United States,, 

 wrote October 12, 1928, "Certainly anyone should feel 

 honored in having a 'luscious, watermelon pink Canna' 

 named after her, and because of my particular fondness for 

 Cannas, I am specially pleased to have you make this request 



and I have nothing hut pleasure in giving you 



permission to use my name in introducing your new Canna.'" 



This variety, illustrated above, justifies Mrs. Hoover's 

 enthusiasm, for the buds are deep Oriental carmine and open 

 to immense, firm-petaled flowers of luscious watermelon 

 pink on erect strong stems, carrying from ten to fifteen 

 blooms on each head. The second bloom-stalks produce 

 two and often three bloom-spikes, following close on each 

 other, thus insuring a constant show of color, well above the 

 dark green foliage. (See cut). Height, 4 ft. 



Dormant roots: $3.50 each. Six for $20.00 



PROFIT WITH tfi CANNAS ! 



If you are not pushing the sale of Cannas for bedding 

 plants perhaps you are overlooking a source of very con- 

 siderable profit. It is safe to say you can get more display 

 for less money and attract more trade, with Cannas, than 

 bv any other means. 



December 10. 1929 



"Personally, I cannot conceive why any one should dislike the Canna. 

 I consider it one of the most useful and beautiful flowering plants we have 

 in our park plantings." — Prominent Washington (D. C), official.
