■ C. & J. AMERICAN PEDIGREE CANNAS ■ 



Carinas, because of their wonderful variety and 

 brilliancy of colors — their size, abundance and con- 

 tinuity of bloom, are justly 

 known as "KING 

 OF BEDDING PLANTS." 



For over a dozen years we 

 have been hybridizing, and 

 introducing s u p er i o r new 

 sorts until, to-day, our C. 

 & J. American Pedigree 

 Carinas (see kinds marked 

 !fi on next seven pages) are 

 recognized by Canna growers 

 everywhere as distinctly 

 superior to the French and 

 foreign kinds. 



Visitors wax enthusiastic 

 over their wonderful size and 

 beauty (see top of page 49.) 



NOVELTIES 



At the International Trial of Canna Lilies, 



made by the Royal Horticultural Society of Eng- 

 land, we had the honor of 

 being the only American ex- 

 hibitor. From the different 

 European countries came 

 Cannas of six leading growers. 

 After testing 220 varieties 

 two years the English judges 

 gave to the Americans (our- 

 selves) over 40 per cent, of all 

 the awards. Furthermore, C.& 

 J. prize winning kinds were 

 the only ones to win out in 

 every color class represented. 

 Since that contest (1906- 

 1908) we have introduced 

 other even more meritorious 

 varieties (see pp. 48 and 49.)

ffi NEW PINK CANNA, MRS. ALFRED F. C0NARD (1910) 



Among all the prize winning Cannas originated by us the most wonderful advances have been made 

 among the pink ones; such for example as "Betsy Ross," "West Grove" and "Martha Washington"; but 

 this new (1910) Mrs. Alfred F. Conard, while of the same type, is larger and finer than any of them 

 and its great beauty makes it worthy to bear the name of our good friend, the wife of our late President. 



It has a good vigorous habit of growth with splendid green foliage ; the heads 

 of bloom are erect and abundantly furnished, and the flowers have a mag- ^r*^ 

 nificent spread to their petals, which are an exquisite shade of true La ^^ £> '^>^^^^P^ 



France Pink. Height, three feet. Price, strong — ^ 



plants, ready May 1, $2.00, delivered. 



K HALLEY'S COMET (1910) 



This new Canna is a striking addition 

 to our galaxy of stars. The plant is a 

 healthy, vigorous grower, foliage green; 

 height, three to four feet ; and flowers 

 that catch the eye. They are large and of 

 a blazing scarlet, the throat a 

 pure yellow, and a narrow rim 

 of yellow all round each petal's 

 wavy edge. You will like it, 

 not alone for its striking at- 

 tractiveness, but because it 

 blooms most freely and 

 makes a magnificent show || 

 all season. Price, strong 

 plants, ready May 1, 

 $2.00, delivered.
