The prices are for strong plants 



King Humbert. Termed the 

 "King of all Carinas" and "The Gold 

 Medal Canna." 



Of superlative beauty and by far 

 the finest of all bronze leaved Can- 



KING HUMBERT. 



nas. The enormous trusses are 

 made up of flowers that measure six 

 inches across and are a rich salmon- 

 scarlet, distinctly and numerously 

 flaked with deep crimson markings. 

 It is a free bloomer and with its rich 



from 3 1-2 and 4 inch pots. 



coppery-bronze, massive foliage, it 

 produces an effect both bold and 

 striking. A well-known Canna ex- 

 pert says of it : "Of all the wonder- 

 ful flowering and foliage plants in- 

 troduced, this one takes the lead for 

 size, color and habit. It is a cross 

 between the Orchid flowering and 

 the french Crozy type, combining 

 the best features of both, the large 

 flowers of one with the free flower- 

 ing character of the other; having 

 handsome, leathery foliage and a 

 strong, noble habit. It has the 

 broadest leaves." It grows five to 

 six feet high. Awarded a Gold 

 Medal at St. Louis World's Fair. 

 (See cut). Each, 25c.; doz., $2.50; 

 100, $15.00. 



Emil Wieland. A wonderful Can- 

 na and a grand companion for King 

 Humbert. Having grown Cannas 

 largely for fifteen years, during 

 which time I have introduced Crim- 

 son Bedder and a number of other 

 valuable varieties, I have learned the 

 merits and defects in varieties of this 

 decorative plant, and I regard this as 

 the most brilliant and beautiful 

 variety yet produced; surpassing in 

 effectiveness even the grand King 

 Humbert. It is from Switzerland, 

 and is a cross between Mme. Crozy 

 and the Orchid flowering section ; 

 uniting the splendid plant and free- 

 dom of bloom of the former, and the 

 great size of flower and truss of the 

 latter. The color is vivid orange- 

 scarlet and the flowers are very 

 large, in large, compact trusses, very 

 lasting and are produced with the 

 greatest profusion from June until 

 severe fnost, without interruption.
