WINTZER'S COLOSSAL 
CANNA 
"As Big as a Man's Hat" 
Wintzer's Colossal Cani>a is not only the 
largest Canna in commerce, but is without even 
a near rival. To say that it is as big as a man's 
hat is not exaggerating. Its flowers are over 
8 inches across. Its color is a strikingly vivid 
scarlet that retains its brilliancy. It is far and 
away the most prolific of its class. 
It is the result of years of tireless hybridiz- 
ing and experimenting on the part of Antoine 
Wintzer, Vice-President of this Company. 
Mr. Wintzer has been well called the Canna 
Wizard. He has probably done more to make 
the Canna the thing of beauty that it is today 
than any other man in America. For twenty 
years he has patiently worked with his "Canna 
children," continually and persistently striving 
to improve the type. 
The Colossal Canna and our other Swas-teeka 
Brand Cannas bear convincing witness as to 
the measure in which he has succeeded.

Brand Cannas.
