ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH CANNA LILIES IN FULL BLOOII? (C.&J. Cannas we mean, not the old-fashioned 
kind.) For if not, you have no idea of how gorgeous and beautiful they really are. Words cannot describe them. They must 
be seen to beappreciated. For variety and brilliancy of colors they are unsurpassed, and when planted together in large beds 
or rows the effect is magnificent. They are easy to grow and from early Summer till late Fall are always a mass of bloom. 
They do well almost anywhere, but the richer the soil the finer they grow. When frosts come the roots may be dug and 
stored ready for planting out again in the Spring. No wonder Cannas are popular; they deserve to be. 
‘* KEEPING EVERLASTINGLY AT IT BRINGS SUCCESS.”’ Such ina nut shellis our Canna history. Several years 
ago the Vice-President of our Company and our veteran rose grower, Mr. Wintzer (see photo below), became convinced that 
by careful hybridizing the Canna could be vastly improved. Long years of patient persistent endeavor have had their reward. 
We regret that lack of space forbids details, for the process of originating a new flower is an interesting story in itself, but a 
glance through the Canna pages of this or any other up-to-date catalogue will show how much we have done in producing for 
America a New Race of Cannas superior in every way tothe old. Our introduction#include more than fifty excellent kinds 
in all colors. We grow the best, discard the rest. We are Canna Specialists. Indeed, so universally have C. & J. Cannas 
become known and so favorably known that 
THE CONARD & JONES CO. are now recognized as 
THE LEADING ORIGINATORS AND GROWERS OF HIGH-GRADE CANNAS

TWO FINE NEW ONES (1904 
“BLACK WARRIOR,’ A Sensation—tThe 
flowers of this Canna are almost black. lt is a good mate 
for Mont Blane. The color is an indescribable deep, rich 
shade of dark velvety maroon, with a centre shaded black.

NEW CANNA, “CLOTH OF GOLD’’—A gol- 
den yellow Canna on a dwarf plant with dark foliage is cer- 
tainly an acquisition. When seen froma distance the color 
appears to be of a beautiful pure orange; but come closer— 
you will notice that each petal is overspread with glistening 
gold and faint tints of coppery red. Down in the centre is 
blush pink. Flowers are of good size and continue bloom- 
ing all season. The plants are fine, too; they grow only 
2to 8 feet high, have dark green foliage, striped and edged 
with brownish bronze. A splendid kind for the border of 
beds or almost anywhere. Price, for nicely started 
plants, 50 cts. each, postpaid. 
The flowers are about the average size with broad, well- 
formed petals of unusually good substance. It makes a 
healthy growth with luxuriant foliage, slightly crimpled 
and narrowly edged with purple. Black Warrior is also 
a prodigous bloomer. We watched one plant in good soil 
on our ground last season and estimated that it produced 
over one thousand blossoms. Height, 3to3\% feet. Strong 
plants, 50 cts. each, postpaid.
