Nearly every garden has a bed of Carinas, but few people in the Middle West have seen the new 
varieties and have any idea of the beauty of these flowers. Some of the new Orchid-Flowered Cannas 
have flowers that will measure up to eight inches in diameter and of the most striking colors. 
The Oanna can be used in a great many different places and is of such easy culture that it stands at 
the head of the list of bedding plants. We urge you to get at least a few of these new Cannas. They will 
multiply rapidly and in two or three years you will have enough for a large bed. 
We list only a few of the very best and most desirable of the new varieties.
