LEIFER’S 1934 PRICE LIST 
Our Large Flowering Cannas 
For producing a mass effect with colors, and rich 
tropical foliage, or use as screens and backgrounds 
for other plantings, nothing proves as satisfactory, 
nor as economical as the modern varieties of large 
flowering Cannas. Cannas are the only plant giving 
a continuous growth of brilliant flowers and robust 
tropical foliage during the season without a resting 
period. Cannas are rapid growers and do best in 
rich, easily working soil with plenty of moisture. 
The following list contains the best of more than one 
hundred varieties which we have grown here during 
the last five years or longer, and all are of the large 
flowering varieties: 
Green Leafed Varieties 
APRICOT. Color, buff overlaid salmon pink and 
giving a mass effect of apricot shade. The best 
of its color. Height, about 4 feet and a prolific 
bloomer. 10c each; 3 for 25c; 75c per dozen. 
COPPER GIANT. The most spectacular of all Can¬ 
nas, both flowers and foliage attracting more peo¬ 
ple than any other variety we have ever grown. 
Foliage is very large and rank growing, and the 
huge flowers of a copper shade are of heavier tex¬ 
ture than any other Canna, which makes them 
useful for cutting, lasting for several days when 
cut. Plant is 6 to 7 feet tall and heavy foliage 
to the very top, which is always covered with 
large clusters of the largest flowers. Too much 
cannot be said about this wonderful Canna. 20c 
each; 3 for 50c; $1.75 per dozen. 
CUPID. A beautiful pale lilac pink with a vigorous 
plant, about 3 feet tall. The dwarfest grower 
of any pink variety we have, but flowers as large 
and plentiful as any other sort. 15c each; 3 for 
40c; $1.25 per dozen.

of all. Plant 5 to 6 feet tall and always covered
