Canna 
IRIDIFLORA. This is the most noble of all 
the cannas we have grown and well worth a 
place where it can be given sufficient room. The 
lant grows to a height of five feet. The wide, 
eep-green banana-like leaves are very tropical 
in appearance. The flowers are lope formed 
and nodding. The color is brilliant fuchsia. De- 
livery anytime. $2.00 ea. 
Our Grand Opera Series represents the most 
glorious new forms and colors brought forth in 
these lovely and useful flowers. The individual 
florets that make up the trusses in these sterling 
varieties are Gladiolus flowered. The petals are 
broad and rounded, each petal touching or over- 
lapping its neighbor. The trusses are luxuriant and 
full, building into great heads of glorious bloom. 
60c each. 
AIDA. Gladiolus flowered, broad rounded pet- 
als. The base color of Aida is old rose overlaid 
with delicate salmon—sheer pastel loveliness. 
LA BOHEME. The soft rosy peach overlaid 
with delicate pearl colors the flowers in a man- 
ner that baffles description. 
LA TRAVIATA. The flowers are beautifully 
placed in the truss and build up to_ beautiful 
heads of color. La Traviata is a self-color, a de- 
lightful and lively shade of old rose. 
MIGNON. The lower petal of the giant flor- 
ets comprising the truss is old gold washed with 
overtones of peach and rose. The three upper 
petals are lighter in tone, the old gold being less 
apparent; the remaining colors, peach and rose, 
culminating in a soft alpine glow. 
MME. BUTTERFLY. Soft horizon yellow 
washed with overtones of daybreak pink tint, col- 
oring the flower in a most beautiful manner. 
RIGOLETTO. Rigoletto produces a beautiful 
mass of florets of pure canary yellow when first 
opening, passing to light lemon yellow as the 
flowers develop.
