Few flowering plants combine so many fine qualities as tlie 

 modern Canna — a race of sub-tropical bulbous plants, of 

 most easy culture, rapid reproduction and good keeping 

 qualities. Tlie floral world has been astonished by their lux- 

 uriance of foliage and gracefulness of bloom, wliich is of 

 immense size, borne in large masses and trusses, combining 

 in color the brightest and ricliest shades of yellow, red, 

 orange and scarlet, bringing them to the front as the finest 

 ornamental plant in commerce. Useful for garden, green- 

 house or sitting-room. 



KING HUMBERT 



KING OF ALL CANNAS 



Giant Flowered. 



Orange Scarlet. 



Bronze Leaf. 



This remarkable Canna has been the sensation of the past 

 several years. Of all the wonderful flowering and foliage 

 plants introduced, this one takes the lead for size, color and 

 habit. It is a cross between tlie Orchid flowering and the 

 French or Crozy type, combining the best features of both — 

 the large flowers of one with the free blooming character of 

 the other; the handsome leathery foliage with a strong, noble 

 habit. It has the broadest leaves. 



It is so distinctly in advance of any other Canna that the 

 demand for and use of it must be universal. Potted plants 

 only. Height, 4 to 5 feet. Price, 25c. each; 3 for C5c.; one 

 dozen, $2.50.
