HASKELL AVENUE FLORAL CO., DALLAS, TEXAS 
GANNAS 
We are extensive growers of Cannas, and though our list of varieties is not so large as offered 
by some establishments, it represents the pick of today. Every variety offered by us is fully tested 
and proven to be satisfactory. 
New Snow}; White Canna, “Mont Blanc” 
A strong-growing, vigorous variety, and will produce from 15 to 20 flower-stalks in a season. Its 
great masses of snowy white flowers contrast finely with the crimson varieties. Dormant roots, 35 cts. 
each, $3.50 per doz. 
King Humbert {New) 
Kingly in every attribute. Large, heart-shaped leaves of purple, madder brown, over bronze, 
the dark ribs sharply defined, crowned with immense heads of orchid-like flowers. Individual petals 
measure 2 to 2/4 inches across ; color velvety orange-scarlet flecked carmine, rose-tinted at margin 
and base. A combination of leaf and blossom incomparably beautiful. 4 to ^'A feet. 30 cts. each, 
$3 per doz. 
GENERAL COLLECTION OF GREEN-LEAVED VARIETIES 
10 cents each, $1 per dozen 
Alsace. A vigorous grower, with clear green 
foliage, 4 feet high; produces from 12 to 18 
shoots in a season from a single eye ; an early and 
continuous bloomer. Spikes of flowers full, dense, 
crowded with flowers, which, upon opening are 
of a delicate sulphur-yellow, changing very soon, 
however, to a creamy white without spots. It is 
decidedly the most desirable Canna for its unique 
color, and will be indispensable wherever con- 
trast in color is desired. 
Alphonse Bouvier. A luxuriant grower, grow- 
ing considerably taller than Mine. Crozy, throw- 
ing up flower stems freer than that variety. The 
tips of the shoots are surmounted by immense 
clusters of bright crimson flowers of the largest 
size, and nothing can exceed their brilliancy. 
Austria. Purest yellow; interior of cups re- 
lieved by dotted streaks of pale red. Phenome- 
nally vigorous, attaining massive clumps, and 6 
feet in height. 10 cts. 
Beaute de Poitevine. A fine dwarf, compact 
grower. Flowers are of good size, crimson-scar- 
let, with no shading of any kind. A free bloomer, 
throwing up large trusses of bloom. Foliage is 
very distinct — glaucous green. 
Chas. Henderson. A splendid, compact dwarf 
grower, throwing up erect, compact heads of 
bloom of large size ; the individual flowers are 
among the very largest. Color bright crimson ; 
center of the flower marked with golden pencilings. 
This is one of the very handsomest varieties, and 
makes a pot-plant equal in habit. 15 cts. 
Mme. Crozy. This is a gem of the first water; 
dwarf compact growth; foliage rich, bright green; 
flowers the largest and showiest of any introduced 
so far, and are produced in large, bunching stems, 
covered with the showiest, dazzling and glowing 
orange-scarlet flowers, distinctly bordered golden 
yellow. 
Paul Marquant. The individual flowers are 
larger than any others 
and flower-spikes very 
large, each flower stand- 
ing out separately by it- 
self. The flower is as fine 
as the finest orchid. The 
color is a very light 
salmon, with a carmine 
tint. The flower has a 
luster, which glistens 
with a silvery sheen. 
President McKinley. 
Deep crimson-scarlet, 
one of the earliest bloom- 
ers ; foliage banded 
with maroon. 3 feet. 
Queen Charlotte. A 
bed of this admirable 
Canna makes a gorgeous 
display, the wide, ragged 
band of gold contrasting 
sharply with the carmine 
flushed center of scarlet. 
Large -headed and pro- 
lific, 3K feet.
