HNiniature Dahlias 
These Miniature Dahlias are of various forms and types, being merely “vest-pocket” 
editions of the large flowered Decorative, Cactus and other types. Unexcelled for plant- 
ing in the border because of their dwarf growth and free-blooming qualities. They re- 
quire but little disbudding, if any. Their value as cut flowers assures them a place in 
every garden.

Six CNew Giant Flowered Cannas 
LOVELY PASTEL COLOR SELECTIONS FROM OUR NEW GRAND OPERA SERIES 
Selected from hundreds of hand-pollinated hybrids, our Grand Opera Series depicts the most 
glorious pastel shades ever brought forth in any flower of any kind. 
The tints of these new Cannas are remarkable for their delicateness yet they sparkle in sunlight. 
Gone are the hard, offensive colors of the old Canna. Gone also are the spindly, small blooms. 
These new Canna hybrids have immense trusses with individual flowers as large and larger than 
those of Gladioli. May we suggest that you plant a few of these in your flower border to give added 
color or possibly a plant or two in a sunny spot against a fence or the house and be sure to grow 
some in tubs for terrace or roof garden decoration. 
Passe Partout Each 75c 
This new one from Europe is the best red 
to date. A brilliant geranium-red that is 
a grand grower and a prolific bloomer. 
Trophy in Brussels and Aalsmeer. 
Sanhican’s Sweetheart. (M.S.C.) 
Each 70c 
An artistic and useful variety. Color ochre- 
ous buff, suffused rose-red. Low growing 
Fairy (M.F.D.) Each 60c 
Small, rounded flowers about 2 inches 
across of a pure peach-blossom-pink. They 
are borne profusely on compact plants 3 
feet high. 
Aida Each 75c, Six $4.00, Doz. $7.50 
The individual florets that make up.the trusses in this sterling variety, 
like the others of the set, are Gladiolus-flowered. The petals are 
broad and rounded, each petal touching or overlapping its neighbor. 
The trusses are luxuriant and full, great!y enhancing the value of the 
tints and colors that make up the flowers. The base color of Aida is old 
rose overlaid with delicate salmon. As these colors merge, the flowers 
open and expand into a floral fabric of sheer pastel loveliness. 
La Boheme Each 75c, Six $4.00, Doz. $7.50 
This may prove to be the favorite of all. Like the others of the series, 
the flowers are rounded, the trusses nicely formed, building into great 
heads of glorious bloom. The soft rosy peach overlaid with delicate 
pearl tints the flowers in a manner that baffles description. La Boheme 
is vibrant with life and beauty and when you view the gorgeous finale 
as the flowers develop over the foliage, it will be apparent to the be- 
holder that this exquisite Canna merits the name. 
La Traviata Each 75c, Six $4.00, Doz. $7.50 
Entirely different from the others of the series and bows its_head to 
none. Every petal and every flower is full of life and vigor. They are 
perfectly placed in the truss and build up to beautiful heads of color. 
La Traviata is a self-color, a delightful and lively shade of old rose, 
and makes an ideal foil for the soft pastels when planted in conjunc- 
tion with the others. 
New Giant Cannas in Mixture 
We have about seventy different varieties of the New Grand 
Opera Series of Cannas. They are a selection made from thou- 
sands of seedlings, most of which have been destroyed. From 
the seventy we have selected six of the best which are now offered. 
The remaining varieties are perfectly beautiful but it would be 
unwise to introduce them as there would be too much similarity 
of color. Instead of destroying them we decided to offer them 
to our customers in a mixture, each one a different kind, yet 
colors so selected that they will form a beautiful pastel mixture.

Like the opera for which it is named, it brings to the eye in color tones 
the same joy and happiness that is derived from hearing the arias of the 
beautiful opera. Soft horizon-yellow washed with overtones of daybreak- 
pink tint color the flowers in the the most beautiful manner. When 
the trusses are fully open and expanded Mme. Butterfly might well 
be considered one of the finest. 
The President Three 85c, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
Enormous scarlet flowers. Green foliage. 4 ft. 
Rigoletto Each 75c, Six $4.00, Doz. $7.50 
This variety is unsurpassable in its color. Like Aida, Rigoletto produces 
a beautiful mass of florets. As to fineness and quality, as far as the 
flower is concerned, there is little distinction except in color. Rigoletto 
is pure canary-yellow when first opening, passing to light lemon-yellow 
as the flowers develop. It is particularly lovely when the heads burst 
into bloom above the bright green foliage. Rigoletto far surpasses R. 
Wallace, which for years was considered the best of the yellow Cannas.
