Henderson’s “Victory” Collection 
of Six Splendid Gannas 
(Shown in color on opposite page) 
In profusion of bloom they are remarkable; beginning early in summer they send up shoot after shoot, thus continuing in flower all summer. It 
no exaggeration to say that the flower spikes in size, richness and diversity of color are equal to many varieties of Gladiolus. ' 
Cannas are usually grouped in beds and for that purpose we can supply them in quantity at the prices quoted for each variety. Where one hasffl 
room to devote to an entire Canna bed the six sorts offered in this collection intermingled with other summer flowering plants will add attractiveness^ 
the display from July until frost.
