The World's Best Cannas 



We try out all new introductions for at least two years before endorsing or rejecting same, and if they are not improvements 

 over existing sorts, or decided novelties, we do not offer them to you. 



The following varieties of recent introduction stand out prominently as the best of their respective types and colors and you 

 will make no mistake in accepting our endorsement of the ten varieties here offered. 



SPECIAL. Note the reduction in price of the three leaders— Hungarla. the ideal pink, Gustav Gumpper, yellow, and Mrs. 

 Alfred F. Conard, popular salmon-pink. 



Extra Choice Sorts. 



Gustav Gumpper. Another season's trial strengthens us in again 

 recommending this as the ideal rich yellow bedding Canna; the 

 flowers of good size are held well above the foliage, the fine 

 trusses always clean looking; in habit of growth very uniform; 

 color a rich golden-yellow; a shade that has been missing here- 

 tofore and which can be seen as far as the eye will carry. 3'A to 

 4 feet. 20 cts. each; $1.25 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $65.00 per 1000. 



Hungarla. The ideal pink bedding Canna, flowers large in good 

 sized trusses, produced early, freely and continuously, in color 

 not unlike that of the Paul Neyron Rose. Compared to all other 

 pink varieties it possesses a softness and refinement not found in 

 any other sort. 3 to 3H feet. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 

 per 100; $90.00 per 1000. 



Louis Reverchon. This was one of the best dark leaved red flow- 

 ering varieties in our trials during the past three years; a block 

 of about 2,000 plants attracted great attention; the flowers are 

 very large, of a cochineal-red color, very freely produced on 

 vigorous plants with light bronze foliage. 4!4 to 5 feet. 10 cts. 

 each; $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; $75. CO per 1000. 



Meteor. There are two varieties of Cannas being sold under the 

 name of Meteor, one a German introduction which can be bought 

 very cheap. We offer the American variety and this is the Canna 

 that you want, as it is the best red flowering Canna in commerce. 

 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Alfred F. Conard. A most remarkable variety, with exquisite 

 salmon-pink flowers of largest size in erect and abundantly fur- 

 nished heads, so freely produced as to keep a superb showing of 

 bloom for months above the rich green foliage. 4 feet. 20 cts. 

 each; $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. 



Maros. The best white bedder; in color, about the same as Mont 

 Blanc Improved, but it produces three or four times as many 

 flowers, and as the old flowers shed themselves, it always pre- 

 sents a clean and tidy appearance. Miros, in our fields, attracted 

 great attention, the rows forming great broad, clean bands of 

 white. Its habit is perfect, filling every requirement of a tip-top 

 bedder. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1000. 



Rosea Glgantea. Extra large flowers, borne in such abundance 

 that the mass of color on each plant is truly amazing; individual, 

 petals are 2'> inches across; a deep, rich rose, almost a coral- 

 carmine. 10 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 



I hlberg. Entirely distinct and one of the freest flowering varieties 

 we have ever grown, the flowers expand very full and are of a 

 soft rosy-carmine; the throat of the flower is of a creamy yellow, 

 and the edges of the petals, which are slightly crimped, are also 

 pale yellow. This variety attracted much attention in our trials. 

 3 feet. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Undine Unquestionably the best of its type, and we heartily 

 recommend it either for massing or as single specimens in the 

 border. Its growth is dwarf and graceful, with green foliage, 

 and its flowers, which are produced very freely, are of a bright 

 orange-scarlet broadly edged with golden-yellow; a most satis- 

 factory variety in every way. 314 feet. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per 

 doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



William Bates. A splendid free flowering pure yellow Canna that 

 has attracted much attention, the size of its flowers, of its trusses, 

 its habit of growth are all that can be desired; a variety that will 

 become a great favorite. 5 feet. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; 

 $20.00 per 100. 



The varieties Meteor and Uhlberg will be supplied in growing 

 plants, all others in dormant roots. 25 at hundred rates; 250 or 

 more at thousand rates. 



We will supply 1 each of the 10 varieties for $2.00, or 6 each
