BRIGHTNESS HUNGARIA TRIOMPHE OUR EXPERIENCE WITH CANNAS Our Carina fields at Western Springs when in bloom during August and Sep- tember make a grand showing and present a wonderful blaze of color. They attract thousands of visitors, both professionals and amateurs. Last year we grew over ten acres of standard sorts and novelties, besides 1,000 seedlings. Canna culture is one of our main specialties now as it has been for ovr thirty years. Our Cannas have won important prizes wherever exhibited—(Many Gold Medals), Chicago, Omaha, Buffalo, St. Louis, and Panama-Pacific Exposition. We ought to know something about Cannas, and realize that many so-called novelties are being sent out every year whose only claim for existence in many instances is a new name. We had to pay dearly in discovering that ignorant and unscrupulous growers give almost any name to their stock of Cannas, as long as the color is somewhere near correct. To them any red is a "New Chicago,'' any yellow a "Florence Vaughan," etc. Our Cannas are true to name, and furthermore, the stock we use for propagation has been specially selected on points of vigor, true type, color, size of flowers. In our list of sorts will be found all the good old standard kinds, and many of the best novelties, the inferior varieties being discarded every year as the merits of the newer ones are proven.
