-IV O T I C E- 
We make a specialty of growing new Cannas. Several thousand new seedlings 
are started each year, and we think that we are quite safe in saying that the 
great variety of colors presented in these trial fields cannot be duplicated anywhere 
else, the world over. These are not all chance seedlings by any means; many of 
them come from seed that has been carefully hybridized, and the improvement that 
comes from careful work of this kind is verv noticeable. We have had several gen¬ 
erations at times growing in the same patch, and it is truly interesting to notice the 
great advance in color, form and durable qualities that has been produced by the 
work of the careful hybridizer. These Canna patches are always interesting to look 
over during the latter part of the Summer, and we extend a cordial invitation to all our 
friends to come and see them.-—--.
