New Cannas of Special Merit. 



The following are introductions of 1903 and 1904 and have 

 had a careful trial with us. We found them of exceptional 

 merit and most desirable additions to any high-grade collection. 



Dr. Robert Funcke. Very large bright vermilion overlaid 

 with carmine, in large, heavy dense spikes ; a very bright 

 showy variety of erect habit, with green foliage ; 4^ feet. 

 35 cents each; $3.50 per doz. 



Hofgartner Hoppe. A light bronze-leaved variety of excep- 

 tional merit with immense spikes of large flowers, orange- 

 scarlet at base merging gradually to the extremity of the petals 

 into a beautiful deep carmine, with numerous faint darker 

 spots; 4^ feet. 35 cents each ; $3-5° per doz. 



James H. Veitch. Very large flowers with perfectly formed 

 well-rounded petals of a rich bright carmine-scarlet and bronzy 

 foliage ; 5 feet. 35 cents each. 



King Humbert. In this grand new Italian Canna we have 

 a combination of the highest type of flower with the finest 

 bronze foliage. Its flowers, which, under ordinary cultiva- 

 tion, will measure 6 inches in diameter and which are pro- 

 duced in heavy trusses of gigantic size, are of a brilliant 

 orange-scarlet with bright red markings ; while the foliage is 

 broad and massive and of a rich coppery- bronze with brownish 

 green markings, bold and effective ; 5 feet. 35 cents each ; 

 $3.50 per doz. 



Mont Blanc. A grand acquisition, being almost a pure 

 white, with large, well-shaped flowers which are produced in 

 great profusion and contrasts well with the high-colored sorts ; 

 3^ feet. 35 cents each ; #3.50 per doz. 

 We will furnish one each of the five new Cannas for $1.50. 



Bronze Canna. "Black Beauty." 



In the dark leaved varieties none attracts more attention or 

 proves so effective as Black Beauty. Its flowers are insignificant, 

 but its foliage is of the richest bronzy purple shaded with black, 

 the edges being peculiarly crimped. Our large stock enables us 

 to offer it at a low price. $ 1. 00 per dozen ; $8.00 per 100. 



Three " Exposition " Cannas. 



Two beds of Cannas in our display at the St. Louis Expo- 

 sition which attracted much attention throughout the season were 

 planted exclusively with the three varieties offered below. We 

 consider them the best bedding Cannas now in cultivation. 

 Jean Tissot. One of the brightest of the very large flowered 

 Cannas. Color intense brilliant vermilion with bright orange 

 shadings ; a color that can be seen as far as the eye will carry. 

 It is of strong uniform growth about 5 feet high with massive 

 green foliage. 20 cents each ; $2.00 per doz. ; $15.00 per 100. 

 President Meyer. A glorious Canna which on account of 

 its large flowers which are in trusses of immense size and of a 

 pleasing rich cherry-carmine color, produces a really gorgeous 

 effect ; it has bronzy foliage and grows about 4 feet high. 20 

 cents each ; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per IOO. 

 Rubin. The ruby-carmine flowers of this are not large, but 

 are produced in such profusion and are so intensely rich and 

 glowing, which, combined with the dark bronzy-green foliage, 

 make it one of the best bedding varieties in our collection. 1 5 

 cents each ; $1.50 per doz. ; $10.00 per 100.
