History of Horn Canna Farm


John And Frances Horn
Our Founders

Horn Canna Farm is the largest exclusive grower of canna bulbs in the world. It all began quite simply. In the early 1920's, Frances Horn received six canna bulbs from her aunt in Arkansas. Soon, cannas were growing everywhere.

In 1928 John Horn began peddling bulbs to surrounding towns in his 1925 Model 'T' Ford. The same as today, only the very best bulbs were personally selected for Grandpa's daily sales run.

At the young age of 15, Neil J. Horn traded his parents, John and Frances Horn, a Jersey calf for the rights to the canna business. From that time forward, Horn Canna Farm has grown to over 120 acres and 20 varieties. Today, Horn canna bulbs are shipped throughout the United States. This achievement is the direct result of the hard work and pioneer instinct of Neil and Louise Horn. From inventing and building all the equipment used in production, to drilling and installing the first irrigation system in Caddo County, they were truly pioneers in the canna industry.

Third and fourth generation owners and operators: Kendall and Jolene (Horn) Snow and Dustin, Nikki, Madison and Sage Snow.

Neil and Louise are both gone, but the family owned business of growing superb cannas continues. Daughter, Jolene, and her husband Kendall Snow along with their son, Dustin, and his wife Nikki, keeps the tradition going with new planting, harvesting and soil improvement techniques. Also, new varieties are constantly being tested for possible addition to the current line.
