MAY IS CANNA PLANTING MONTH 



Plan at once for your Canna bed. Planting is done as soon as all danger 

 from frost is over, so that if you are to grow either from seeds or roots, these 

 should be in pots now for transplanting at the proper time. 



The Canna is the Premier Plant for Display Bedding 



Conard & Jones' Swastika Brand Cannas have a stateliness and continuity of bloom which makes 

 them the most popular plants for display bedding. They have clear, clean foliage and fully de- 

 veloped blooms, giving a continual feast of color from June until the first frosts. The U. S. Dept. 



of Agriculture has adopted five of our varieties 

 Mr Antnina \A/ir»tTo»- rar use on the most visited grounds around the 



mr. /YlUOine W llUZer pub]ic buildings in Washington, D. C. This speaks 



The Canna Wizard well for the value of our cannas for display beds. 



'The Finest Cannas in the World " 

 originated or developed by our 

 president, Mr.Wintzer. He has ti 

 the variety of 

 colors, increased 

 the endurance of 

 the bloom, and 

 has given bronze 

 foliage to flowers 

 that before only 

 had green. He 

 has handled 

 over 40,000 

 seedlings, /

108 VARIETIES 



of Swastika Brand Cannas offer a wide range of 

 selection. 72 of these are of our own develop- 

 ment and many are queens of class — for example, 

 Rosea Gigantica, prize winner at the Royal Hor- 

 ticultural Society Show of England. American 

 Florists, in National Convention at Minneapolis 

 in 1913, gave foremost place to C. & J. Cannas 

 over all competitors. 



Luxuriant Foliage, Gorgeous Blooms 



— green, bronze and purple foliage, blooms in vari- 

 ous shades of pink, red, white, yellow or orange — 

 plain, spotted or variegated, and a great difference 

 in sizes — all these present an incomparable array. 

 Any sort of display may be had with C. & J. 

 Cannas. 



EVERY CANNA TESTED 3 YEARS 

 BEFORE BEING PUT ON THE MARKET 



Every Canna on our list is a quality flower. 

 Every one of our own development has passed 

 through a 3 years' test given by Mr. Wintzer 

 before being offered to the public. 



"The Book of the Canna" 



— A splendid guide to proper selection, care and 

 cultivation of the Canna.; Treats of the origin and 

 history of this flower, its development, varieties, 

 winter and summer care, etc. This book is free.

Planning Now For Autumn Flowers 



The spring and summer months are gorgeous with color, but late 

 fall finds the blooms of most plants faded and the foliage killed by 

 frosts. There is a real joy in planning the garden so that one may find 

 new treasures in bloom from day to day after the summer flowers are gone. 



Fair's Dahlias. Years ago 

 I began to grow Dahlias for my 

 own pleasure, and gradually added 

 all the new sorts offered. I soon 

 found that the average gardener 

 desires the kinds that will give 

 a profusion of flowers, and there- 

 fore my list includes Cactus, 

 Decorative, Fancy, Pompon and 

 Show Dahlias in varieties that 

 can be relied on to give the best 

 results. 



Fair's Chrysanthemums 



are ideal for fall flowers. I have 

 a large collection of the large- 

 flowering sorts that bloom in 

 September, as well as the new 

 single varieties. The Pompon 

 Chrysanthemums bloom later, 

 and my collection at Wyomissing 

 includes white, pink, crimson, 

 bronzy red, and brilliant yellow. 

 The full list will be found in 



my book. 



Farr's Hardy Plant Specialties (edition of 1913-14) will 



be sent on request. It covers all the desirable plants and bulbs for 

 spring planting.
