"You are certainly the CANNA KINGS Of the WORLD" 



"The greatest breeder of new American Cannas is 

 Mr. Antoine Wintzer, who has raised nearly 40,000 

 crosses." — From Garden Magazine for August, 1907. 



The Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C, 

 recognizes the superiority of our Cannas and orders them 

 periodically. One lady writes : 



Gentlemen: 4-27-1909. 



Saw your new Cannas still under number or unnamed in propa- 

 gating gardens at Washington last Fall. You are certainly the 

 Canna Kings of the World. Respectfully, 



Mrs. M. H. F , Oklahoma, Okla. 



Our Vice President, Antoine Wintzer, has won a national 

 reputation as an originator and propagator of new Pedi- 

 gree Cannas. His years of patient, skillful, persistent 

 cross-hybridizing has given us a wealth of new and rare 

 varieties from which has been chosen the largest and 

 most beautiful. For richness of color, size and durability, 

 these Cannas far surpass the ordinary sorts and kinds you 

 may have been accustomed to see. In short, this page 

 offers you not only the largest assortment but unap- 

 proachably the finest Cannas to be had from anyone, 

 anywhere, and seeds are all at small cost. (Be sure to 

 see the chapter on Canna Plants on pages 48 to 55 and 

 our beautiful Canna Rosea-Gigantea on page 131.) 



WORTH KNOWING 



Our splendid Ever=Blooming Pedigree Cannas grow easily from 

 seeds and bloom finely the same season — almost as quickly as 

 rooted plants — and as they come much cheaper in this way, many 

 people prefer to grow them for themselves. 



A thing you need to know about them is that they have hard 

 shells and are therefore very slow to germinate unless you take 

 the precaution to file or cut away a bit of this hard shell. 



With small hard seeds this is difficult, therefore, for the con- 

 venience of our customers we have already prepared in this way 

 all the named varieties of seeds offered on this page. 



When ready to plant, soak seeds in warm water for half a day 

 or more, and then plant indoors, about one inch deep, and you 

 should get about sixty per cent, to germinate. Transplant to 18 

 inches apart as soon as ground is warm.
