S This sign indicates varieties originated and introduced by The Conard & Jones Co. 



RED SHADES 



ifi Dragon. 3 It. Most vivid and proliferous dwarf 

 we know. It blooms incessantly and keeps 

 sending up new bloom-stalks about every 

 week, until cut down by frost. Color is dark 

 ox-blood-red. \'ery rich. An especially suit- 

 able variety for mass planting 



Elxpress. 2^2 ft. Scarlet-crimson, a shade 

 lighter than Philadelphia 



W Philadelphia. 3 ft. This splendid Canna orig- 

 inated here in 1896. and still holds its place 

 as one of the best dwarf crimson Cannas >et 

 introduced. Philadelphia bears splendid 

 heads of large, finely expanded flowers, and 

 makes handsome plants the whole season. . . 

 Triumph. 3 ft. A handsome shade of deep, 

 rich crimson, held erect on fine well-built 

 trusses, and strong stems. A constant bloom- 

 er w'ith firm flowers that can stand the hot 

 sun without wilting. Fine for small beds or 

 borders 



ifi Beacon. 4 to 4 M ft. Moderate-sized flowers 

 borne in great heads of rich cardinal-red. which 

 for color etTect we think is unparalleled 



ifi Chautauqua. 4 ft. Bronze foliage. Flowers pure 



rich scarlet, intensely vivid and striking 



Compte de Sachs. 4 ft. Foliage deep bronzy 

 green; the flowers open out nearly flat, color 

 clear crimson-scarlet without markings; flower- 

 heads large and full 



Firebird. 4 ft. Clear glistening scarlet flowers 

 borne in immense trusses. The individual 

 flowers are unusually fine 



ifi George Washington (Improved). 3 >2 ft. The 

 color is deep velvety crimson, beautifully 

 shaded. The flowers are large, have broad 

 petals, and are borne in massive trusses 



ifi Lafayette. 4 ft. Resembles the famous 

 "Meteor." but the flowers are a more intense 

 scarlet. The heads of bloom are carried erect 

 above the healthy, green foliage, producing a 

 brilliant effect in mass planting. "Lafayette" 

 IS an incessant bloomer and in great favor at 

 Washington on this account 



ifi Mount Etna. 4 ft. Bronze foliage. Makes large, 

 bold, erect trusses of intense brilliant crimson 

 flowers, on magnificent dark purple or black- 

 ish bronze foliage 



ifi Splendor. 4 '4 ft. The most impressive quality 

 in this Canna is the firm, well-spread-out for- 

 mation of the flowers, which are an intense 

 scarlet color and very large. It makes 2 or 3 

 bloom-heads on each stalk, insuring flowers 

 practically all the time 



ifi The President. 4 ft. See description on page i . 



ifi Black Prince. 5 ft. Color an intense dark vel- 

 vety maroon, almost black; a strong erect 

 grower, with fine dark red stems and deep 

 green leaves edged with purple 



ifi Conowingo. 5 ft. Bronze foliage. The color of 

 this flower is. like "Splendor." an intense fiery 

 scarlet, but slightly deeper. The foliage is 

 an unusually beautiful plum color at the base, 

 shading to rich oli\e-green at the tip 



ifi Meteor (Wintzer's). 5 ft. Produces an almost 

 solid mass of deep dazzling crimson bloom well 

 above the foliage. Undoubtedly a fine red. 

 and one that will always be in the front rank 

 when a bright, brilliant crimson color is desired. 



ifi Nokomis. 5 ft. See description on page i. 



ifi Pillar of Fire. 6 to 7 ft. The giant of its class; 

 flower bright crimson-scarlet

VARIEGATED KINDS 



ifi Panama. 3 ft. The color is an attractive rich 

 orange-red, with a well-defined edge of bright 

 golden yellow. The flowers are very larfie. and 

 the immense spread of the individual blooms, 

 coupled with the early, free-flowering habit, 



makes this Canna most noteworthy

 mixing this Canna with any other, for it is 

 most distinctive and can be picked out from 

 among other varieties because of its lively 

 coloring. For mass planting it is unsurpassed.

 the flowers and bloom-heads of this magnifi-
