SCARLET FLOWERS, BRONZE LEAVES

markable "Gold Medal'' Canna has been the 
sensation of the past eight years. It is a 
cross between the orchid-flowering and the 
French or Crozy type, combining the best

CIXXAMOX YIXE BULBS 
Beautiful leaves, dainty flowers, exquisite 
perfume, grows in shade or sun, wet or dry. 
No insects ever trouble. 
A charming climber that will quickly sur- 
round your arbor, window or veranda with 
a wonderful profusion of vines covered with 
handsome, glossy, heart-shaped leaves, while 
its clusters of delicate white flowers emit a 
delicious fragrance. Very hardy, thriving al- 
most everywhere, though perhaps not so 
well adapted to the extreme north. The 
first year the vines run about 10 feet, but 
eventually reach a height of about 25 to 40 
feet. See my "Culture of Flowers" for di- 
rections. Two or three roots, one foot apart, 
on each side of a door or window will quick- 
ly cover it. They do best in a warm, sunny 
location, though thriving almost anywhere. 
Extra Quality — Sure to grow. Price 1 
strong root, 10c; 3 roots, 25c; 12 roots, 90c; 
all postpaid.
