ANNUAL, FLOWER SEEDS— (Continued) WEST GROVE, PA. 



Headquarters for Canna Seeds 



Our splendid Ever=Blooming Pedigree Carinas 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. 



When we say that our Canna Seeds are 



"BEST IN THE WORLD," 



we mean exactly that. Our Vice President Antoine 

 Wintzer, has won a national reputation as an originator 

 and propagator of new Pedigree 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 unapproachably the finest Cannas 

 to be had from anyone, anywhere, and all at exceeding 

 small cost. (Be sure to see the chapter on Canna Plants 

 on pages 52 to 59 and our beautiful Canna on page 135.) 



WORTH KNOWING 



" The greatest breeder of new American Cannas is 

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

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



A thing you need to know about Canna seeds 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 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.
