MARECHAL NIEL AT NEW ORLEANS 
If our friends at New Orleans will take our two and one-fourth-inch pot plants of Marechal Niel in January or February, 
shift them into a four-inch pot, plunge outside in old manure, stake and water as needed, and shift into larger pots as required, 
they can have every three and one-half cent plant they buy of us up into a $I.0(f plant by September and October. In this 
way you never have the fatality when planted out that occurs in the Layered Banksia that are budded, and you get a much 
superior growth. Try this plan. _ 
Q. & R. ROSES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES 
IF WE CAN PLEASE THESE CUSTOMERS, WHY NOT YOU ? 
The Good & Reese Co., Springfield, Ohio. Greencourt, Alberta, Canada, July 6, 1913. 
Gentlemen:—The Roses, etc., arrived here today all 0. K., and all in fine shape. I thank you very much for the way 
you packed them. I was very fortunate about the package. We live 135 miles from Edmonton express office, and in sum¬ 
mer we have to take all our goods 300 miles from there by rail on the ne\v Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad right up into 
the Rocky Mountains to the head waters of the McLeod river, then 175 miles on a raft to Sagitowa at the junction of the 
McLeod, Athabasca and Beaver rivers, then go with wagons or pack horses and bring the stuff 17 /> miles. If you had to 
get your Roses that way, how many would you have? We came here nine years ago, and the new C. N. R Railway is 
coming now. Respectfully yours, L. 1?. SLLLLLlv. 
Good & Reese. ..... Harrisburg, Pa. 
Gentlemen:—My shipment of Roses arrived this morning in excellent shape, and a fine bunch of Rose Quality and a 
credit to Good & Reese. It is a pleasure to spend money with your firm, as I find you are on the square, and the bunco 
game has no place in your business creed. With many thanks for your kindness. _ 
Yours respectfully, F. H. McCORMICK. 
Good & Reese Co. . Oakland, Cal. 
Gentlemen:—The Roses ordered came duly to hand, and, notwithstanding the long journey, arrived in perfect condition, 
and have not dropped a leaf since being planted. I was surprised at the enormous roots on some* of them. They are tne 
best lot of plants I have ever received. Accept many thanks for the extras included. Beg to remain, 
Yours truly, S. W. CUSHMAN, 1517 Filbert Street. 
NOVELTIES IN CANNAS 
Including Green=Leaved, Bronze=Leaved and Orchid=Flowered Varieties. 
BRILLIANT —(Green.) One of the most striking yellow varie¬ 
gated Cannas ever offered. The yellow is a peculiarly 
bright waxy shade with two curling tongue-like petals of 
fiery-red that appear to dart from the center. Four feet, 
$1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per hundred. 
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, $1.00 per 
dozen; $8.00 per hundred. 
GLADIOFLORA — (Green.) Remarkable for the unusual shape 
of the flowers, which look like large Gladioli. Petals are 
rounded and so wide they overlap each other. Color is car¬ 
mine-rose, edged with gold; beautiful. Three and one-half 
feet, $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per hundred. 
GUSTAV GUMPFER— (Green.) An ideal bedder, possessing 
the practical qualities of compact growth, free and con¬ 
tinuous blooming, and self-cleaning habit; uniform flower; 
heads well above the foliage. Color, the richest kind of 
orange-yellow; extra. Three and one-half feet, $3.00 per 
dozen; $18.00 per hundred. 
HALLEY’S COMET — (Green.) A striking addition to the 
galaxy of Star Cannas. Flowers large, of blazing scarlet. 
The throat is pure yellow, and with a narrow thread of 
pure^ yellow around each wavy edged petal. Four feet, $1.50 
per dozen; $10.00 per hundred. 
HUNG ARIA (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, $3.00 per dozen; $18.00 
per hundred. 
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. Four feet, $5.00 per dozen; $30.00 per hundred. 
KING HUMBERT— (Orchid.) In this grand Canna wc have a 
combination of the highest type of flower with the finest 
bronze foliage. It has flowers as large as the orchid flow- 
ering 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 j 
and effective. “King Humbert” is the one ideal Canna. 
Four feet, $1.00 per dozen; $6.00 per hundred. I 
Orchid Flowered Canna, King Humbert. 
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 
hundred.
