LARGE-FLOWERED CANNAS. 



CANNAS 



The new types of Caimas 

 have taken the country by 

 storm and are now the 

 acknowledged leaders of 

 outdoor, decorative, sum- 

 mer-flo wering plants. 

 They are increasing in 

 popularity more than 

 ever. Their dwarf habit, 

 ornamental foliage, pro- 

 fuse and long-continued 

 bloom and brilliant colors 

 make them universal fa- 

 vorites. They will grow well m alinosi: any soil, m the l)()r(ler, 

 massed in beds on the lawn, or in groups around the house. In 

 every ease they are immensely effective and a constant source of 

 delight to the owner as well as to the passers-by. No lover of 

 plants is so poor that he may not have a choice collection of them. 

 We offer only those varieties of pronounced merit and of dist inct 

 individual characteristics, the result of careful test and selection, 

 from the best varieties in cultivation. 



All the plants offered are strong and well established in 3 1-2 and 

 4 inch pots— not dry roots. 



The prices include postage. If sent by express or freight 

 strong plants will he selected. Hundred rates of any variety 

 will he given upon application. 



SUNBEAMS. 



Undoubtedly the best Yellow Canna yet intro- 

 duced and without a defect. Continued trial de- 

 monstrates ver}- decidedly that it is one of the most 

 beautiful and valuable of all Cannas irrespective 

 of color. The plant is remarkably dwarf and com- 

 pact, attaining a height of from two to two and a 

 half feet, and especially well fm-nished with heavy, 

 richly colored foliage. Its enormous brilliant yel- 

 low flower are, showever. its distinguishing feature. The orange markings upon the petals are so faint as not to 

 be seen at the distance of ten yards and do not in the least impair the glowing golden effect of its great masses of 

 bloom, while the individual flowers are of the largest size, averaging over five inches across. We know of no yel" 

 low Canna that can at all compare with Sunbeams for brilliant and constant bedding effect due to its enormous 

 trusses of bloom and clear bright color. It is an incessant bloomer, continuing steadily from June until frost, 

 withstanding both drought and storm better than other varieties. Price, ea- 20c: 3 for 50c; doz., §1.75; 100. S12.00. 



Austria. 8 ft. Gigantic in both plant and flower. 

 This is a decidedly valuable acquisition and a magnifi- 

 cent variety. The trusses are of enormous size and the 

 flowers immense, with five petals, each fuUy two inches 

 across; of a clear, canary-yellow, spotted slightly with 

 dark crimson. Exceedingly free-fiowering and very 

 enduring; vigorous in growth, with large, light green 

 foliage. Wonderfully handsome and effective. Ea., 50c. 



Italia. 8 ft. From the same source as Austria and 

 almost a counterpart of it in its immense size of flower, 

 profusion of bloom and vigor of growth. It has large, 

 Musa-like foliage, bright green with white margin, and 

 immense trvisses of five-petaled flowers of brilliant 

 golden yellow, largely blotched wdth vivid, velvety 

 scarlet of indescribable beauty. For gorgeous bloom 

 and effectivQ foliage this cazmot be surpassed. Ela., 75c. 



doz. 



Alsace. 4 ft. Unique in color among Cannas and 

 for that reason very valuable for contrasting with oth- 

 ers. Large and full trusses, dense with flowers of a 

 beautiful clear, creamy white. A vigorous gi'ower and 

 continuous, profuse bloomer; grand and indispensable 

 "The White Canna." Ea., 25c. 



F. R> Pierson. 3 ft. Of surpassing beauty, exquisite 

 in coloring, a superb flower. Both flower and truss are 

 of the largest size, an intense, vivid glowing scarlet, 

 touched with bright golden yellow at the heart of the 

 flower, rendering it brilliantly gorgeous and striking; 

 a compact, vigorous grower. Ea., 25c.
