)HIS peerless pedigree Canna was originated and first introduced by us in 1895. Since 

 its introduction it has attained phenomenal popularity. Many varieties have been 

 introduced for which extravagant claims have been made ; the introducers invari- 

 ably testify to the superior merits of Flaming'O by saying theirs is as good as 

 Flamingo or resembles Flaming-o. Notwithstanding these numerous rivals, 

 Flaming'O continues to be the standard by which all other crimson varieties are 

 judged. Professional and amateur growers alike agree that it is the grandest variety 

 yet seen in Cannas. No Canna — in fact, no flower — can compare with it in exquisite 

 finish, the glorious richness and depth of color, profuseness, sweetness and wonderful free- 

 dom of bloom, sturdiness, healthy growth and ease of culture. Whether grown indoors or 

 under the scorching rays of the Summer sun, it is constantly surmounted with a glowing crimson 

 crown of perfect blooms, whose sparkling brilliancy is all the more intensified by its luxuriant 

 deep-green tropical-like foliage. 



It is a True Ever=bIooming Canna. 



have a plant which for brilliancy, beauty and effective 

 decorative value is unequaled by any plant now known. 

 The color is intense glowing crimson, without 

 a spot or blemish. 



None of the so-called crimson Cannas will compare with 

 Flamingo in brilliancy, depth and richness ; alongside of 

 it their color seems tawdry and dull, while in habit of 

 growth it is entirely distinct from all others. It stands out 

 as tlie most magnificent all-around Canna now in cultiva- 

 tion. Our greatest difficulty, heretofore, has been to supply 

 the demand for it ; we are fortunate in having a splendid 

 stock for this year's trade, and we advise our friends to be 

 sure to include it in their order. It is the one plant among 

 all others you should have, because we know it will please 

 you beyond measure. 



The flowers are superb— large, more than four inches 

 across, of heavy texture, and are of the most refined re- 

 flexed form (like a Gladiolus) so much sought after and 

 found in no other Canna. The petals are nearly two inches 

 in diameter. The flowers cluster around the stem in an 

 even manner, giving the large truss the graceful finish of a 

 Hyacinth spike. The size of truss is enormous, usually 

 measuring a foot in height and seven to eight inches in 

 diameter. It grows to a height of about three feet, com- 

 mences to bloom when but six to eight inches high from 

 the ground and continues throughout the entire year. 

 Imagine a plant of Flamingo crowned with one, two and 

 frequently three spikes of glowing crimson flowers, thus 

 presenting an array of gorgeous color, relieved by a back- 

 ground of Musa-like foliage, and you will admit that we 



r'atif irk*-i We have reason to believe that Cannas are being sold under the name 

 wdU LIUII. of FLAMINGO that are spurious. Be sure to get none but the genuine.
