SELECTED FRENCH CANNAS 
Rote. — The height to which these Cannas usually grow, except where stated in descrip- 
■jon, is 4 to 5 feet, according to season and soil. The foliage of all is green except where 
jtated otherwise. 
^lemannia. Rich orange-red with golden-yellow border, dotted with orange-red spots. 
Inner petals almost entirely red with yellow throat, dotted orange-red. Height, 6 feet. 
Beaute Poitevine. A very fine dark crimson variety with dark metallic green foliage and 
deep rich crimson flowers of great beauty. One of the best bedding varieties. 
Buttercup. Yellow, as bright as the “buttercup" of our fields. Best in its color. 
Because of its dwarf and compact habit it is especially valuable for planting as ~ 
border around taller sorts. Height, 3 feet. Dormant roots, 20c. each, 
per doz.; 
innabar. Cinnabar-red, distinctly edged with golden-yellow. There is just enough 
of yellow to intensify the red. 
jefender. Clear rich yellow, striped scarlet, splendid for edging. Produces 
fine large heads of broad petaled flowers. This is one of the best spotted and 
splashed varieties we have. 3 to 3p£ feet, 
puke of Marlborough. This is decidedly the darkest and richest colored 
Canna in existence. A deep, rich crimson-maroon. A particularly 
attractive and useful bedding variety. 
Italia. The coloring is gorgeous in the extreme. Rich golden-yellow 
with patches of brilliant reddish-crimson and irregular spots on upper 
petals. 6 feet. 
J. D. Eisele. Vermilion-scarlet, overlaid with orange. It is a compact 
grower, producing immense trusses and flowers. 3H feet. 
Louisiana. A new giant, vivid scarlet-crimson Canna. The flowers 
are more than 7 inches across. It grows 6 feet high. 
Mile. Berat. Color a unique shade of soft rosy-carmine, or deep 
pink it might be called. Large trusses. A robust grower and 
free bloomer. 
Philadelphia. A bright glowing red, very rich and velvety. An 
and constant bloomer, handsome green foliage, medium 
Queen Charlotte. The center brilliant orange-scarlet, with crim¬ 
son tones; with a distinct golden belt around each petal. 
The flower trusses stand well above the foliage. It is an 
early and continuous bloomer, beginning to flower when 
quite dwarf. 
Richard Wallace. A pleasing shade of canary yellow, large 
flowers. Makes a bushy, compact plant; the flowers are 
held well above the foliage. 
Souv. d’Antoine Crozy. Intense scarlet, rich and dazzling, rich 
golden-yellow edge. Does, not fade or scorch in hot weather. 
Wyoming. A brilliant orange. Bronze purple foliage. The 
massive flowers and bronze foliage form a striking contrast. 
Price, dormant roots, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $12.00 per 100. 
Cannas in Quantity for Massing 
For the convenience of those who are at a loss what varieties to 
select we make special offer of the best sorts in separate colors. If de¬ 
sired we will select tall, medium and low-growing varieties for 
rangement in beds. 
Dormant roots of Cannas should be potted in 4 or 5-inch pots or planted 
in shallow boxes in March or April, and kept in a warm place to start them 
into growth. The started plants may be planted out about May 20th to June 
10th in the vicinity of New York; earlier in the South; later in the North. 
Price, dormant roots, $10.00 per 100. Not less than 25 sold at the 100 rate.

New Lilliputian 
Canna “Little Gem” 
This makes a compact mass of handsome green 
leaves surmounted by a wealth of brilliant orange- 
scarlet flowers, edged with brilliant yellow. The 
height rarely exceeds two feet, so that its value for 
edging, for centers of low beds, for planting in her¬ 
baceous borders, or for pot culture is apparent. An 
early and continuous bloomer. ( See engraving.) 
Price, dormant roots, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
“The Cannas we ordered from you last year were a 
little slow at first but finally turned out fine and were the 
handsomest I ever saw. Were well pleased with them.” 
W. G. WATSON , Rochester, AT. Y. 
Giant Rose-Pink Canna 
“Rosea Gigantea” 
A giant in size of flower and general worth. Flowers 
soft rose shading to carmine-pink. A wonderful 
bloomer, and a fine grower. The flowers are unusually 
large and are borne in great abundance. ( See engrav¬ 
ing.) 
Price, dormant roots, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz.
