Are the Cannas in Your Park the C. &- J. Large-Flowering Kind? 



Canna- Lilies for the Conservatory 



TRY SOME THIS WINTER— THEY WILL DELIGHT YOU 



Cannas are plants that prefer moist air, heat, and sunshine to make them produce best results. They 

 are rather large for window-gardening, but no flowers grown can produce a more gorgeous show than 

 C. & J. Cannas when grown under glass in a warm, sunlit window, conservatory or greenhouse. You have 

 all the richest reds to choose from, ranging from intense scarlet to maroon; pinks of al! shades; exquisite 

 light, deep and shaded yellows, and ptire snoivy ivhite. 



The protection afforded by glass prevents the immense heads of gorgeous blooms from injury, so you 

 can have them in greatest perfection and they are stately and magnificent. 



For conservatory culture you need to plant in clumps which w-e can ship, ready to plant. Use boxes or 

 vases to hold at least one cubic foot of soil. Order, if possible, before October i. 



Price: Varieties Our Selection. Red, Pink, or Yellow, large-fiowered varieties. Si. 50 per clump Q.

An Interviev^ at Washington, D. C. 



A reprint from The Florist's Exchange of October 28, 1916 

 "The fact of the matter is that in the next 15 years Cannas are going to 

 have the right of way. There is nothing to equal them." 



It was Mr. Henlock speaking, expressing, not a burst of enthusiasm, 

 but deliberate conviction bom of long experience. Mr. 

 Henlock is a gardener of the first order. Technically, he is 

 in the War Department, U. S. A.; practically, he is re- 

 sponsible for the best possible show of bloom and color 

 display throughout the grounds that surround the Capitol, 

 White House, and the other public buildings of our 

 National Capital. 



When the Secretary- of the Interior, Mr, Lane, wants 



^^ ' a bit of beauty made to modify the severe exterior of the Patent 



« ~^«3^ Office, it is Mr' Henlock who knows what is needed, and who does it. 



^^ '"Well, what did it need?" It needed color, of the right shade, 



^^ in the right place, and for such big buildings a bold stroke of color, 



and further, color that would stay there all summer and still not 



break up the broad sweep of lawn round about. What plant is 



J there that can turn such a trick but the Canna — the new. big, 



broad-petaled Cannas, such as have been coming out of \\ est 



Grove, and such as have convinced the men who know how to use 



them that "there is 7iothing to equal them"? 



"And then, Mr. Pyle, another thing that is important — study 

 colors: don't mix them in the same bed; the effect will be far 

 more pleasing, as of course you know." 



"And," he added, "I want to say this — practically ALL the 

 Cannas that we have here in Washington {over 20,000) came from 

 The Canard & Jones Company at West Grove!"
