Gorgeous Cannas 
15c each; 12 for $1.50, except where noted 
Magnificent summer bedding plants for mass display, and useful for planting sparingly in the perennial border 
where they add vivid color at times when the other plants are out of bloom. Cannas grow from roots set out in 
spring after cold weather is past, and are kept over winter like gladiolus and dahlias. 
Ambassador (Bronze-leaved President). A strik¬ 
ing new sort with massive, vigorous stalks and broad, 
bronzy green foliage of a very rich tone. Flowers are 
brilliant cherry-red and are borne in immense sprays 
freely and continuously. 
Apricot. The big buff-yellow flowers are overspread 
with a soft tone of salmon-pink, giving them a richness 
and lushness unsurpassed by any other variety. Its 
broad foliage is bright rich green. 
City of Portland. A particularly handsome variety 
with huge flowers of a soft glowing pink borne in tre¬ 
mendous trusses. A rare and lovely color. 
Dragon. The vigorous plants look especially fine 
in great masses and bloom incessantly, throwing up a 
continuous succession of new bloom-stalks topped by 
massive flowers of dark ox-blood-red. 
King Humbert. Well-known variety, much used 
for broad mass displays. The scarlet flowers are pro¬ 
duced in abundance and contrast brilliantly with the 
rich bronze foliage. 
Mrs. Alfred F. Conard. One of the most popular 
pink Cannas ever introduced. Unsurpassed as specimen 
plants or for large mass plantings. The huge flowers of 
exquisite salmon-pink are produced profusely and con¬ 
tinuously. 20c each; 12 for $2.00. 
M rs. Antoine Wintzer. The large, firm-petaled 
flowers ride gracefully on tall, strong stems. Its color 
is a warm, unshaded yellow. Uniquely lovely. 20c 
each; 12 for $2.00. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont. The huge individual flow¬ 
ers are vivid watermelon-pink, do not sunburn, and are 
produced in tremendous sprays from June until frost. 
It is a perfect bedding Canna. 50c each; 3 for $1.25. 
Queen Helen (Yellow King Humbert). In height, 
habit, and freedom of flowering, this variety resembles 
the popular King Humbert. Flowers are light yellow, 
liberally sprinkled with red dots. 
The President. This is the showiest and most popu¬ 
lar scarlet bedding variety. The large, rich green foliage 
is handsome and abundant and the glowing red flowers, 
nearly 7 inches across, are produced on strong, erect 
stalks held well above it. 
White (Eureka). White is a rare color in Cannas 
but this variety makes great masses of creamy white 
blossoms which contrast beautifully with crimson and 
pink varieties, making gorgeous, showy beds. 20c each; 
12 for $2.00. 
Wilmer Atkinson. Handsome Canna with big 
flowers of buttercup-yellow, faintly tinged with apricot 
in the throat and lower petals. 20c each; 12 for $2.00. 
Exceptional Dahlias 
Of the hundreds of varieties of magnificent Dahlias which we have to choose from, we have selected a particu¬
