Rosea Gigantea only a stronger grower and larger flower.

place else than in the six best Cannas, ranking right up 
with Queen Helen, King Humbert, Mrs. A. F. Conard, Meteor

THE WONDERFUL YELLOW KING HUMBERT or QUEEN 
HELEN —(Green Orchid.) This Canna is a sport from King 
Humbert, which is known far and wide as “the one best 
Canna." The yellow 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 
three or four times the growth of the King and every stalk 
will have its flowers. The foliage 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. 
4V6 feet. Each, 35c; $3.50 per dozen; $25.00 per hundred.
