NOVELTIES IN CANNAS 
We' send dormant roots when we have them. If not these, 
started plants. 
EUREKA —Largest white Canna we have seen, often 5 to 6 
inches across. Need we say the only meritorious white 
Canna to date ; pure white. A good grower and free bloomer. 
Four feet. $2.50 per dozen; $15.00 per hundred. 
FIREBIRD —This is by all means the very best red flowered 
Canna; gigantic trusses of immense flowers with petals 2V> 
to 3 Inches and over across. The color is a clear glistening 
scarlet without streaks or spots of any kind. Don't fail to 
try it. Four feet. $2.50 per dozen; $15.00 per hundred. 
HUNGARIA —This Canna catches the eye insistently and de¬ 
mands attention. The petals are round and waxy, made up 
into big round trusses. Its color forcibly suggests the well 
known "Paul Neyron" Rose, and is unquestionably the most 
attractive and fascinating pink Canna ever produced. Three 
and one-half feet. $1.00 per dozen; $6.00 per hundred. 
KING HUMBERT —In this grand Canna we have a combination 
of the highest type of flower with the finest bronze foliage. 
It has flowers as large as the orchid-flowering Cannas. Six 
inches across, in trusses of gigantic size; of a brilliant 
orange-scarlet with bright red markings. The foliage is 
broad and massive, of a rich coppery-bronze; bold and ef¬ 
fective. "King Humbert" is the one ideal Canna. Four feet. 
$1.00 per dozen; $6.00 per hundred. 
METEOR —The almost solid mass of deep, dazzling crimson 
produced is spectacular; a good grower and altogether the 
very best Canna. Five feet. $2.50 dozen; $15.00 hundred. 
OLYMPIC —This is a glorious Canna. In the way of Rosea 
Gigantea, only a stronger grower and larger flower. The 
color is a deep rose. This variety can be placed no place 
else than in the six best Cannas, ranking right up with 
Queen Helen, King Humbert, Mrs. A. F. Conard, Meteor and 
Firebird. Five feet. $1.75 per dozen; $10.00 per hundred. 
THE WONDERFUL YELLOW KING HUMBERT or QUEEN 
HELEN — This Canna is a sport from King Humbert, which 
is known far and wide as "the one best Canna." The yel¬ 
low flowering form is a better Canna than King Humbert in 
these particulars. A far better grower and a better bloomer. 
Yellow Humbert will make at least 3 or 4 times the growth 
of the King and every stalk will have its flowers. The foli¬ 
age is deep green, same shape as the King. The flowers are 
deep golden yellow, spotted red, the individual bloom and the 
truss being as large as Humbert; without question the best 
of all Cannas to date. Four and one-half feet. $2.50 per 
dozen; $15.00 per hundred.
