From the Executive Officer, White Plains, (N. Y.) Village Park Association, Inc. 
***** Last spring I sent you Si .00 for a plant of Mrs. Alfred F. Conard Canna. I want now to say that it more than makes good your description. Its 
in.my branched flower spikes and over and beyond all, the exquisite soft color, combined with the firm and durable petals, make it a prince among Cannas. I 
luivi* received many times my money’s worth during the last six weeks.” CHAS. H. TIBBITS, Executive Officer, W. P. V. P. A. 
OLYMPIC. 5 ft. The color effect 
presented by “Olympic” is new in 
Cannas and most fascinating. It is 
a distinctly new departure, being a 
most captivating shade of rich orient- 
red with center flamed a lighter shade 
and dappled carmine. Individual 
blossoms are of the largest size, and 
the huge twenty-flowered clusters 
make heads that are simply immense. 
(See cut). $1.00 each, postpaid. 
* GLADIOFLORA. 3 K ft. Remark¬ 
able for the unusual shape of the 
flowers, which look like large gladioli. 
Petals are rounded and so wide they 
overlap each other. Color is crimson, 
changing to carmine-rose, edged with 
gold. The bright, firm, well formed 
blooms show up attractively above 
the neat green foliage. 25 cts. each, 
postpaid. (See cut). 
* METEOR (Wintzers). 5 ft. We’ve 
a 10 ft. bed of Meteor on our office 
grounds. The most solid mass of 
deep dazzling crimson bloom produced 
is spectacular. For thirteen weeks 
have we watched and marvelled as 
each morning fresh flowers renewed 
the brilliant scene. On green foliage, 
undoubtedly our best red, and one that 
will always be in the front rank when 
a bright, brilliant crimson color is 
desired. 35 cts. each, postpaid. 
W ROSEA GIGANTEA. 3^ ft. The 
giant-sized flowers are wonderful. It 
is a prodigious bloomer with great 
flower heads of soft rose to carmine- 
pink, darker than Mrs. Alfred F. 
Conard Canna and by some preferred. 
It has recently received the highest 
award accorded any Canna. (The 
Award of Merit from the Horticul¬ 
tural Society of England). 30 cts. 
each, postpaid. 
Hi WILLIAM SAUNDERS. 4 ft. A 
rival and superior to “King Humbert” 
in that it continues all season a blaze 
of bloom when “King Humbert” is 
“off show.” The individual flowers, 
often 5 inches across, are bright 
scarlet and they harmonize perfectly 
with the beautiful bronze foliage. 
It is a strong, vigorous grower and 
self cleaning, which means flowers 
fresh every morning from June ’till 
frost. 25 cts. each, postpaid. 
SPLENDOR. 43^ ft. The most im¬ 
pressive quality in this Canna is the 
firm, well-spread-out formation of 
the flowers, which are an intense 
scarlet color and very large. It 
makes 2 or 3 bloom heads on each 
stalk, insuring flowers practically all 
the time, as new blooms are con¬ 
stantly appearing before the older 
flowers fade. $1.00 each, postpaid. 
K KATE F. DEEMER. 4 ft. The grand 
flowers open a rich, oriole-yellow 
which gradually gives place to turkey- 
red in the center and throat of the 
flower, in striking contrast with the 
rest of the blossom which turns almost 
white. The rich yellow buds on red¬ 
dish brown stems, combined with the 
yellow and white flowers make a 
fascinating combination. 50 cts. each 
postpaid. 
Hi WABASH. 4 ft. The Bronze-leaved 
“Rosea Gigantea.” Flower is un¬ 
usually large, petals broad and 
borne in great abundance well above 
the magnificent foliage. 
Well described as “Bronze-leaved 
Rosea Gigantea,” for this flower has 
the same great size and carmine-pink 
color as that famous novelty, adding 
the advantage of handsome bronze 
foliage. 50 cts. each, postpaid. 
W CONOWINGO. 5 ft. The color of 
this flower is, like “Splendor”, an 
intense fiery scarlet, but slightly 
deeper. Its great attraction, how¬ 
ever, and difference from “Splendor,” 
is in the foliage, which is an unusually 
beautiful plum color at the base, 
shading to rich olive-green at the tip. 
The stately flowers are freely pro¬ 
duced, and are very rich and beauti¬ 
ful. 50 cts. each, postpaid.
