This Canna heads my list, 
because as now improved it is 
one of the finest of them all. 
This is the grandest Canna 
ever offered. The large, heart- 
shaped leaves are purple-mad¬ 
der-brown over bronze. The 
plants are crowned with im¬ 
mense heads of orchid-like 
flowers measuring from 6 to 8

petal a band of pure 3 r ellow. 
The flowers are produced on
