The Novelties of 1922 



OCHIE\"EMEXT cmniands re- 

 spect, especially so when ac- 

 complished by long years of 

 persistent, faithful effort. 



Father Time has ticked off thirt\ sum- 

 mers since Antoine \\'intzer set face to the 

 task of improving the Canna. Colors bor- 

 rowed from every bird of brilliant j^lumage 

 except the blue bird, and like dream clouds 

 at siui-et — with a refinement unexcelled 

 by orchids. Four o'clock every morning 

 used to see Mr. Wintzer moving among his 

 Canna pets abloom, and going through the 

 marriage ceremony with carefully chosen 

 mates. Now he does his hybridizing in- 

 doors where the bees do not bother. A re- 

 count of first prizes at all the leading expo- 

 sitions, international and otherwise, but 

 faintly reflects the triumphs year after year. 



Those who remember the old-fashioned 

 Indian shot plant with its puny head and 

 narrow petals, and seldom in any other 

 color of flower than red, will be much im- 

 pressed with the vast changes that thirty 

 years have wrcnight. Flower heads cer- 

 tainly se\-en times as large, with beauty and 

 variety increased to a greater degree; and 

 by far the largest proportion of new varie- 

 ties in this country during the past fifteen 

 years have come from the undersigned, the 

 home of "Good Luck Cannas." 



Mr. Wintzer is the originator, and the 

 Conard vv Jcmes Company the introducer of 

 such varieties as "The President," Mrs. 

 Alfred F. Conard. City of Portland, Ameri- 

 can Beauty, Statue of Liberty, Wintzer's 

 Colossal and of Snow Onecn. Flag of Truce 

 and a host of others. 



By all means send for their catalog and 

 get complete infnrmation.
