New Pedigree 

 CANNA SEED. 



Our Grand New Pedig-ree Cannasgrovv easily and bloom 

 splendidly from seed sown in the open ground, and if started in 

 the house and set out when ground is warm they will bloom 

 almost as soon as either the roots or plants. Canna Seeds 

 have such hard, thick shells that it is best to chip oft' the germ 

 end and soak in hot water 4 or 5 days before planting, after 

 which they are as sure to grow as any other seeds. The seed is 

 saved from our own unrivalled collection of the finest named va- 

 rieties of our C. 4& J. NeAV Pedig-ree Cannas grown on our 

 own grounds last season, and is therefore of the very best quality 

 and should produce flowers of the most superb beauty, a large 

 proportion of them will come true or produce equally beautiful 

 flowers in a great variety of colors. This is undoubtedly the 

 hig'liest improved Canna Seed ever oftered, and as we keep 

 our whole stock of these grades for our own customers, it cannot 

 be had of any one else. We know of no flowers that will bloom 

 quicker or make a more handsome display of gorgeous flowers.

the best quality is our C. & J. New Pedigree Cannas extra choice saved from picked flowers only, 



the next grade is new Pedigree Canna, good quality mixed ; also Canna Hybrida, good mixed ; the only
