OTHER FINE VARIETIES OF 



FRENCH AND ITALIAN CANNAS 



Austria — Six feet. The largest flowering Canna in the world today. Single 

 flowers measure 8 inches across. An entirely new and distinct strain of Cannas, 

 the production of which was certainly never expected. In size of flower, in 

 vigor ef growth, in grand effect, Austria is not equaled by even Italia, its com- 

 panion plant. Planted out early in the season, Austria begins to bloom when 

 only two feet high, and immediately sends forth a large number of side shoots 

 in rapid succession, so that in July a single plant has produced from 15 to 25 

 enormous flowering stems, towering 5 to 6 feet in height, densely packed with 

 immense musa-like foliage, which resists sun and wind with impunity. The 

 flowers, of which there are 20 to 30 on a single shoot, are the largest of any 

 Canna known, measuring, when extended, over 8 inches accross. The color 

 is a pure canary yellow, the purest yellow of any large flowering Canna known, 

 merely two of the segments being slightly spotted with crimson. 



Worth 25c; my price 10c; $1.00 per. doz. 



Allemania — Six feet. The flowers are enormous and often equal in size 

 even those of the Canna Austria. Outer petals scarlet, with a 

 broad yellow border; inside scarlet and red. 



Worth 20c; my price 10c; $1.00 per doz. 



Alphonse Bouvier — Five feet. Color brilliant crimson, almost scarlet 

 when it first opens, changing to a deep dazzling crimson as flowers 

 develop. The shoots flower three or four times in succession, a 

 large plant having as many as 40 clusters at a time.

Italia— Five feet. Newest orchid-flowered Canna. Single flowers measure 

 8 inches across. In size and brilliancy of flowers, in magnificence of 

 growth of foliage, this new departure in Cannas has not been equaled. 

 The flowers of Italia are indeed of extraordinary beauty. The ground color 

 of the flower is golden yellow, the three upper segments being heavily 

 blotched with two shades of scarlet. The lower segment is the widest, 

 being thus entirely distinct from other Cannas. This and the fifth segment 

 are bright scarlet, edged with golden yellow. In growth this Canna is 

 majestic. Remarkably free bloomer and stands hot weather better 

 than other Cannas.

 shaded. One of the most handsome varieties ever offered. Foliage rich
