Red King Humbert ? e r t an f }T<Tt 
tall. Its flowers measure 6 inches in di¬ 
ameter, produced in gigantic trusses, a 
brilliant orange-scarlet with bright red 
markings. Foliage broad and massive of 
a rich coppery bronze. One of the finest 
for beds and background planting. 
Wvnminfr 6 to 7 feet tal1 - The blos - 
»¥ y uiiuny soms are as large as those 
of the above variety. The color is a 
bright orange, slightly rimmed and flaked 
with rose. The color of the foliage is a 
purplish-bronze. A good Canna for the 
center of Canna beds. 
TnHirrnrr Grows 6 feet tall. The flow- 
er is well shaped and is of a 
soft orange color with blocs of gold and 
margined deep rose. An excellent color 
combination that is rarely found in a 
flower. The color of the foliage is a dark 
bronze to purple. 
THE WHITE CANNA 
FnrAlrrr 3-4 feet tall. Makes nice 
LiUicnu large blossoms and blooms 
exceptionally freely. Very pretty for a 
border row in the Canna bed. Of all the 
white Cannas this is the only successful 
variety I know of. The color of the blos¬ 
soms is a creamy white and is very at¬ 
tractive. I furnish this Canna without 
extra cost.

Wintzer's Colossal ^ r °elt A 11 ° 
Of all Canna Varieties this is the largest 
flower kind I know of. Its blossoms are 
truly gigantic, and due to their vivid 
scarlet color and good stems that carry 
the blossom well above the foliage, ex¬ 
ceptionally showy. 
Yellow King Humbert \ v i n e 
yellow flowering sport of the well known 
Red King Humbert, and in the plants of 
the Yellow King Humbert often part of 
the blossoms contain strong red mark¬ 
ings. While the foliage of the Yellow 
King Humbert is green in some cases 
part of the leaves come in purple color. 
Prooirliont 5-6 ft - tall. A rich 
a icoiucui glowing scarlet with blos¬ 
soms 7 inches across when fully open, 
and are produced in great freedom and 
over a long period, practically all sum¬ 
mer and fall. One of the finest. For the 
past few years this has been the leading 
variety. Supply is limited, and would 
advise ordering early so that your bulbs 
can be reserved for you. 
Ttrrllfr 4 feet tall. A very good variety 
nviiiu. of brilliant red color bordered 
with a margin of yellow. It is a very 
nice Canna, and makes up the outside 
rows of Canna beds owing to its short 
stalk and dense, dark green foliage. Red 
varieties are usually favored, also the 
orange and yellow for Canna beds, as 
they show up much better than the pink 
varieties, which are usually more or less 
faded after they open. For this year 1 
have dropped all pink Cannas from mv 
list on that account. 
PURPLE FOUNTAIN GRASS 
for PRETTY BORDERS 
Pennisetum Ruppelianum T . h e , f ass 
■ lA that has 
been used around the Canna bed pictured on the 
right is Pennisetum Ruppelianum, perhaps better 
known as Purple Fountain Grass, and this pretty 
border-grass is used very frequently and with the 
very best results for borders. It is an annual plant. 
I furnish the plants with a small ball of earth on 
the root, ready to set in the same time when you 
plant your Cannas. With surprising rapidity these 
plants grow into attractive heavy bushes that be¬ 
gin to develop fine feathery plumes by mid-sum¬ 
mer. The plumes are pretty at all stages and can 
also be used in dry bouquets. The price of the 
plants is the same as of the Cannas as quoted 
above. 
A medium size Canna bed with a border of the Purple Fountain Grass. The flower 
to the right is the Red King Humbert, showing the pretty markings of the petals. 
A Canna bed makes a wonderful showing.

— = PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS — 
Plant your Cannas 16 to 18 inches apart both ways. In a circular bed the rings are spaced 16 inches apart, and the bulbs in 
the ring-row 18 inches. Lay the bulbs in the ground covering about 4 or 5 inches deep. Good rich garden soil is best. The 
circular beds are built up a little towards the center. Water freely. If Fountain grass is used for the border, place it 16 inches 
apart in a ring by itself 12 inches away from the outside Canna row. Canna bulbs are taken up in late fall, before the ground 
freezes. Store them in a frost-proof cellar.
