Vaughan^s Cannas. 



Our Canna fields at Western Springs when in bloom in August and September make a grand 

 showing. They attract thousands of visitors, both professional and amateurs. We grow all of 

 the standard kinds, all of the novelties, and discard the inferior ones every year as the im- 

 proved merits of the newer ones are proven. We have won highest awards at four great expo- 

 sitions, Chicago, Omaha, Buffalo and St. Louis. The Grand Prize, one of the seven only awarded 

 to American exhibitors in horticulture, was a%varded to us a.t St. Louis. If you wish for the 

 best and most complete assortment of Cannas write us. You will find them catalogued here.
