' » CANNA SEED. 
Our Grand New Pedigree Cannas grow 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 off 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 kind of seeds. The seed is 
saved from from our own unrivalled collection of the finest named 
varieties of our C. & J. New Pedigree 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 ina great variety of colors. This is undoubt- 
edly the highest improved Canna Seed ever offered, and as 
we keep our whole stock of these grades for own customers, it 
cannot be had of any oneelse. We know of no flowers that will 
) bloom quicker or make a more handsome display of gorgeous 
NEW DWARF CANNA ~ colors. Please notice we offer three qualities of New Pedigree 
Canna Seeds, the best quality ts our C. & J. New Pedigree Cannas, extra choice, saved from picked 
flowers only, the next grade 1s New Pedigree Canna, good quality mixed, also Canna Hybrida, good 
mixed; the only difference being in the more careful selection of the higher priced grades.
