NOVELTIES IN CANNAS 
And Some That Are Scarce 
Including Green-Leaved, Bronze-Leaved and Orchid-Flowered Varieties. Dormant roots until about April; after that 
started plants. 
DUKE OF YORK —(Green.) Not the newest Canna, but the 
best pink. It blooms prodigiously. Immense heads of large 
individual florets. A clear, even pink, with throat of cream 
and broadly edged with a border of gold. Extremely beau¬ 
tiful and fascinating. Four and one-half feet, $1.25 per 
dozen; $8.00 per hundred. 
FIREBIRD — (Green.) 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. 4 feet. 75 cents each; $8.50 per dozen. 
GUSTAV GUMPFER —(Green.) An ideal bedder, possessing the 
practical qualities of compact growth, free and continuous 
blooming, and self-cleaning habit ; uniform flower; heads well 
above foliage. Color, the richest kind of orange-yellow; ex¬ 
tra. Three and one-half feet, $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 
Hl^NGARIA —(Green.) This Canna catches the eye insistently 
and demands 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 pro¬ 
duced. Three and one-half feet, $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 
JENNIE WALLS FAHNLINE — (Green.) This glorious combina¬ 
tion of pink and primrose arouses enthusiasm always on ac¬ 
count of its immense flowers and dainty coloring and unique 
markings. The tips of the petals are flashing carmine-pink 
which shades towards a throat of soft primrose delicately 
dappled pink, each petal faintly edged with gold. Effect is 
dainty, artistic and fascinating. 4% feet. $5.00 per dozen. 
KATE F. DEEMER —(Green.) The grand flowers open a rich 
oriole-yellow, which gradually gives place to turkey-red in 
throat of the flower, this in striking contrast with the rest 
of the blossom, which turns almost white. Thus two colors 
of flowers will be on the same stalk at one time. This makes 
a fascinating combination, and is the most unusual of all 
Cannas. 4 feet. $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per hundred. 
KARL KIRSTEN — (Green.) It throws its trusses of bright 
poppy-red high above the foliage. The combination of free¬ 
dom and bright color makes this an exceptionally desirable 
sort for massing. Five feet, $1.00 per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 
MAID OF ORLEANS —(Green.) Ground color is rich cream 
over which is shaded and mottled in beautiful fashion an at¬ 
tractive enchantress-pink; flowers very large; extra fine. 4*£ 
feet. $3.00 per dozen. 
MARVEL — (Green.) Flowers a bright scarlet-red, edged with 
gold on inside of petals, outside of petals yellow streaked 
with scarlet, giving the whole flower an illuminating effect, 
as of light seen through stained glass, of striking effect. 3% 
feet. $2.00 per dozen; $12.00 per hundred. 
MRS. ALFRED F. CON RAD— (Green.) A most remarkable va¬ 
riety, with exquisite salmon-pink flowers of largest size in 
erect and abundantly furnished heads. So freely produced 
as to keep up a superb showing of its fine bloom for months 
above the rich green foliage; extra fine. 4 feet. $1.00 per 
dozen; $7.00 per hundred; $60.00 per thousand. 
QUEEN HELEN — (Green.) Immene flowers that are as large as 
the Orchid-flowering Cannas. Color golden-yellow evenly 
and distinctly spotted red. This Canna ranks right up with 
King Humbert. We have no hesitancy in saying there is no 
better Canna grown. 4% feet. $1.75 each. 
ROSEA GIGANTEA —(Green.) Extra large flowers, borne in 
such great abundance that the mass of color is truly amaz¬ 
ing; a deep rich rose, almost a coral-carmine; soft and love¬ 
ly; one of the most beautiful Cannas grown. 4 feet. $1.50 
per dozen; $10.00 per hundred. 
UNDINE—(Green.) Bright orange-scarlet, broadly bordered 
with golden-yellow. The color is best described as a fanciful 
figure in scarlet and gold. The best of all gilt-edged Cannas. 
4 feet, $1.00 per dozen; $7.00 per hundred. 
WILLIAM BATES —(Green.) Very large pure yellow flowers, 
very freely produced and held well above the foliage in 
trusses of great size. $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per hundred.
