SUNBEAMS CANNA. 



The introduction of the brilliant Sun 

 an era in the development of this most 

 beam is very similar in habit to that stand 

 Madam Crozy, equally floriferous, and like 

 feet high in average soil, but can be forced 

 eral manuring to attain a height of 4 to 6 

 green foliage is ample and well disposed 

 flowers are incessantly produced in im 

 oped trus 

 over five 

 and are re \

 a clear 

 marked 



beam Canna marks 

 popular plant. Sun- 

 ard of excellence 

 it grows about 2)^2 

 by watering and lib- 

 feet. The bright 

 and the enormous 

 mense, finely devel- 

 ses. They average 

 inches in diameter 

 markably enduring 

 ture. The color is 

 and brilliant yellow, 

 with spots of orange, 



^ so faint as not to be seen 

 \ at a distance of ten yards 

 cind which do not injure 

 the glowing golden effect 

 of the great masses of 

 bloom. Nothing in the 

 way of yellow Cannas has 

 ever been brought forward 

 to compare with the Sunbeam for brilliant and constant bedding effect. Planted out in 



early June it is at once covered with its dazzling crown 

 of golden bloom, which continues until frost un- 

 dimmed by storm or drought. For groups, masses 

 and ribbon bedding with Cannas of contrasting tints 

 Sunbeam is without a peer, as its firm and brilliant 

 color, correct habit and wonderful floriferousness is 

 beyond comparison superior to existing yellow Can- 

 nas, with their neutral colors and late and shy bloom. 



The illustrations are in no way exaggerations. 

 The petals are broad and well thrown back as shown; 

 individual flowers having been produced that meas- 

 ured six inches across. It is a great improvement in 

 every way upon Montefiore and Florence Vaughan, in 

 color, in habit, in size of flowers and flower heads, and 

 in profusion of bloom. Although by far the finest 

 yellow Canna yet offered and one of the rarest ever 

 produced of any color, we make the price in keeping 

 with the times. Each 50c.; 3 for $1.25; dozen $4.50 

 {l)y mail). Prices by tJie hundred upon application.
