CANNAS 



Newer Varieties and Sorts of Special 

 Merit. 



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 cts. 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. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz.; #20.00 per 100. 



Louisiana. A strong, vigorous grower, attaining a height of 



j|seven feet, producing a dense mass of glossy green foliage and 

 vivid scarlet flowers often measuring seven inches across. 35 

 cts. each ; #3.50 per doz. 



Three "Exposition 1 ' Cannas. 



Among the Cannas shown at the St. Louis Exposition in 1 904 

 two beds were planted by us exclusively with the three varieties 

 here offered, and the effect produced throughout the season, 

 early and late, was not equalled by any other similar display. 

 Again in our own trial grounds during the past summer they 

 stood out pre-eminently among all other sorts. We consider 

 them the three best Cannas for massing 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. $1.25 per doz.; $10.00 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 feeet high. 

 $ 1. 25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



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 foli- 

 age, make it one of the best bedding varieties in our collec- 

 tion. #1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



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 doz.; #8.00 per 100.

 green ; gigantic trusses of flowers, orange-scarlet overlaid with
