Gorgeous Cannes 
15c each; 12 for $1.50, except where noted 
Magnificent summer bedding plants for mass display, and useful for planting sparingly in the perennial border 
where they add vivid color at times when the other plants are out of bloom. Cannas grow from roots set out in 
spring after cold weather is past, and are kept over winter like gladiolus and dahlias. 
Ambassador (Bronze-leaved President). A strik¬ 
ing new sort with massive, vigorous stalks and broad, 
bronzy green foliage of a very rich tone. Flowers are 
brilliant cherry-red and are borne in immense sprays 
freely and continuously. 
Apricot. The big buff-yellow flowers are overspread 
with a soft tone of salmon-pink, giving them a rich¬ 
ness and lushness unsurpassed by any other variety. 
Its broad foliage is bright rich green. 
City of Portland. A particularly handsome variety 
with huge flowers of a soft glowing pink borne in 
tremendous trusses. A rare and lovely color. 
Dragon. The vigorous plants look especially fine in 
great masses and bloom incessantly, throwing up a 
continuous succession of new bloom-stalks topped by 
massive flowers of dark ox-blood-red. 
King Humbert. Well-known variety, much used for 
broad mass displays. The scarlet flowers are produced 
in abundance and contrast brilliantly with the rich 
bronze foliage. 
Margaret Cole. This is a sport of The President with 
the same habit of growth. The large flowers are 
brilliant scarlet-red with a half-inch band of bright 
gold on each petal. Very spectacular. 
Mrs. Alfred F. Conard. One of the most popular pink 
Cannas ever introduced. Unsurpassed as specimen 
plants or for large mass plantings. The huge flowers 
of exquisite salmon-pink are produced profusely and 
continuously. 20c each; 12 for $2.00. 
Mrs. Antoine Wintzer. The large, firm-petaled flow¬ 
ers ride gracefully on tall, strong stems. Its color is a

are vivid watermelon-pink, do not sunburn, and are 
produced in tremendous sprays from June until frost.

Queen Helen (Yellow King Humbert). In height, 
habit, and freedom of flowering, this variety resembles 
the popular King Humbert. Flowers are light yellow, 
liberally sprinkled with red dots. 
The President. This is the showiest and most popu¬ 
lar scarlet bedding variety. The large, rich green foli¬ 
age is handsome and abundant and the glowing red 
flowers, nearly 7 inches across, are produced on 
strong, erect stalks held well above it. 
White (Eureka). Great masses of creamy white blos¬ 
soms which contrast beautifully with crimson and 
pink varieties. 20c each; 12 for $2.00.
