Mrs. Alfred Conard. One of the very 
'’cst Cannas in commerce today. Large, 
exquisitely shaded salmon-pink flowers 
are produced in great abundance on ro¬ 
bust, upright stalks. We consider this as 
superior to all pink flowered Cannas. 4

The President. 4 feet. This immense new 
flaming scarlet has come into wider use 
more quickly than any other Canna. It 
is an off-spring of the famous Firebird. 
The President leads the red varieties in 
the quality and also the quantity of its 
bloom. The flowers are 7 inches across; 
the individual petals are firm and long 
standing, and do not burn, and the trusses 
stand^ up^ stiff on strong stems. The fol¬ 
iage is rich green and burn-proof in the 
hottest weather.

Yellow King Humbert. 4 feet. An or¬ 
chid-flowering sport of the well-known 
King Humbert. Has the same habit of 
growth as its parent; foliage a very dark 
green, with flowers measuring 5 to 7 
inches across; individual petals measur¬ 
ing 3 to 3^ inches in diameter. Flower 
a deep, rich yellow, softly spotted and 
blotched with bright red. Some plants 
occasionally give a scarlet or scarlet 
striped flower, which we consider an im¬ 
provement rather than a detriment.
