GANNAS 
These wonderful bedding plants give uniformly good results in all seetions of the country. 
They succeed in any sunny position, in any kind of soil, but will repay liberal treatment. 
For best .results spade the beds 2 feet deep and incorporate in the soil a liberal amount 
of well-decayed manure of any kind. Water well at all times. The best effect is given by 
planting large masses of one color, setting the plants 18 inches apart. All of my plants 
arc pot-grown, and arc ready to bloom at once. The table below will show the number 
of plants required for beds of all sizes. 
THE BEST OF THE NEW CANNAS. 
Yellow King Humbert or Queen Helen. 
Yellow King Humbert possesses all the good 
qualities of the parent King Humbert, ex- 
cept that its gigantic flowers are a brilliant 
yellow dotted with red and the foliage is 
green. It is one of the most desirable of 
the Giant-Flowered Gannas that has yet 
been discovered. Price, 25 cts. each ; 12 for 
$2.50, postpaid. 
Firebird. This is by all means the very 
best red flowered Ganna; gigantic trusses 
of immense flowers with petals two and 
one-half to three inches and over across. 
The color is a clear glistening scarlet with- 
out streaks or spots of any kind. Don’t 
fail to try it. Price, 35 cts. each ; $3.50 dozen.

carmine-pink. The largest flowered pink

Kate F. Deemer. The grand flowers open 
a rich oriole-yellow, which gradually gives 
place to a turkey-red in throat of the flower, 
this in striking contrast with the rest of the 
blossom, which turns almost white. Thus 
two colors of flowers will be on the same 
stalk at one time. This makes a fascinating 
combination, and is the most unusual of all
