We Want To Send You 



This Book On 



Canna Information 



THOSE who have seen it say llicre has 

 nothing equal to it ever been published, 

 containini{ such a collection of valuable, 

 tlcpcndable Canna information. It's not alone 

 informative — it's decidedly readable, with- 

 out being a lot of floriated gush. It stands 

 for the Canna where Vincent's book does 

 for the Geranium. 



.A.ntoine Wintzer, you will agree, comes 

 pretty close to being the leading Canna au- 

 thority of this country, and he had put his 

 stamp of approval on every word in the 

 book. This means the book is an authority. 



COLOR CHART 



This is the first time to our knowledge that so com- 

 plete a color chart has been published. Those of you 

 who know Cannas, fully appreciate what a difficult 

 task it lias been to compile this chart, and how in- 

 valuable it will be. 



We will send you this book at our own expense. 

 There are no strings to our offer. Simply let us 

 know you want it, and one of the very first copies 

 coming from the press will he sent to you.
