Henderson's "Victory 59 Collection 



of Six Splendid Cannas

In profusion of bloom they are remarkable; beginning early in summer they send up shoot after shoot, thus continuing in flower all summer, 

 no exaggeration to say that the flower spikes in size, richness and diversity of color are equal to many varieties of Gladiolus. 



Cannas are usually grouped in beds and for that purpose we can supply them in quantity at the prices quoted for each variety. Where one has not 

 room to devote to an entire Canna bed the six sorts offered in this collection intermingled with other summer flowering plants will add attractiveness to 

 the display from July until frost.
