OLDS’ GANNAS 
THE PRESIDENT. Four feet tall. The President leads the red varieties in 
the quality and also the quantity of its bloom. Flowers are 7 inches across; in¬ 
dividual petals firm and long-standing; trusses standing up stiff on strong stems. 
The foliage is rich green and burn-proof in the hottest weather. Bulbs, 15c each; 
3 for 35c; 12 for $1.25, postpaid. 
KING HUMBERT. Red. This remarkable Gold Medal Canna has been the 
sensation of the past ten years and is a great favorite today. It is a cross be¬ 
tween the orchid-flowering and the French, or Crozy type, combining the large 
flowers of the one with the free-blooming character of the other, with handsome, 
broad, tropical foliage. Scarlet flowers; bronze leaves. Each, 15c; 3 for 35c; 
12 for $1.25, postpaid. 
YELLOW KING HUMBERT. Four feet. An orchid-flowering sort of the well- 
known King Humbert. Foliage a very dark green, with flowers measuring 5 to 
7 inches across; individual petals measuring 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 improve¬ 
ment rather than an objection. Each, 15c; 3 for 35c; 12 for $1.25, postpaid. 
MRS. ALFRED CONARD. Four feet. One of the very best Cannas in com¬ 
merce today. The large, exquisitely shaded salmon-pink flowers are produced in 
great abundance on robust, upright stalks. We consider this superior to all other 
pink Cannas. Each, 20c; 3 for 45c; 12 for $1.60, postpaid. 
APRICOT. Four feet. The color is a buff-yellow base overspread with salmon- 
pink, making a mass effect of rich apricot. The chief characteristic of this flower 
is its marvelous durability, for it stands heavy rain and hot sun better than any 
other Canna we know of. Each, 20c; 3 for 45c; 12 for $1.60, postpaid. 
EUREKA. Three and one-half feet. The best white Canna. Foliage light green; 
strong growth with large blooms. Color creamy white with faint lavender strip¬ 
ing in the throat. Each, 15c; 3 for 35c; 12 for $1.25, postpaid. _
