Minnehaha 
(C. & J. Co., 1908—Form much like Mont Blanc. Blossoms 
are extra large and borne in great clusters; petals are long, 
gracefully curved and have wavy edges. It looks like an 
orchid with its exquisite opalescent tints; colors that remind one of a dainty transparent 
sea shell, deepening through shades of gold and cream to a centre of peach-blow pink. To 
have obtained a flower of this light color on a plant with bronzed foliage is a signal tri¬ 
umph for the originator. Minnehaha is an entirely new ‘break’, extremely beautiful and 
different from any other yet introduced. Height, 3 to 4 feet. Stock very scarce. Price,good 
strong plants, $2.00 each, prepaid. 
• m (C. & J. Co., 1908) —This beautiful variety has extra large 
( 0‘CltltPCI flowers which are borne in such abundance that the mass 
O of color on each plant is amazing. Single petals are 2 y 2 
inches across; color, a deep rich rose, almost a coral carmine. Plants make a vigorous 
growth, producing unusually line clumps of green foliage. Height, 4 feet. (A great fa¬ 
vorite with visitors to our trial grounds). Strong plants, $2.00 each, prepaid; $18.00 per 
dozen by express, not prepaid. 
Gladio-Flora 
(C. «fe J. Co., 1908) —Remarkable for the unusual shape of the 
the flowers, which look like large Gladiolus. Petals are not 
long, but short and rounded and so wide they overlap each 
other, thus giving a very attractive appearance to the flowers. Color is crimson, changing 
to carmine rose with an uneven edge of gold to each petal. Height, 3 y 2 feet. Price, strong- 
plants, $2.00 each, prepaid. $18.00 per dozen by express, not prepaid.

type of Howe r. 
They have much 
rn o r e substance

stand the hot sun¬ 
shine as well as 
the toughest ca- 
rieties of cannas. 
The color is a sol- 
i d rich scarlet 
covered with a 
beautiful glowing 
sheen. The flow¬ 
ers are large and 
contrast beauti¬ 
fully with the dark 
bronze foliage. 25 
cents each; $2.50 per 
dozen; $15.00 per 100. 
MONT BLANC was introduced by us in 1902 and is today by all odds the finest white 
Canna in commerce; in fact, there is no other variety that can compare with it. It has a 
vigorous constitution, blooms early and continuously in the greatest profusion during the 
whole growing season. Its foliage is bright glossy green, very large and handsome, and so 
thick and leathery it is not often injured by rain or wind. Its great masses of snowy 
white blossoms contrast finely with the splendid crimson and pink varieties, making the 
most gorgeous and showy flower beds for the lawn or garden it is possible to have. See 
illustration from photograph. 20 cents each; $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per 100.
