~  CANNA LILIES 
C. & J. Canna Lilies (not to be confused with the old-fashioned flowerless kind) are a dis- 
tinctly new strain, producing great masses of large lily-like flowers all Summer long and gorgeously 
beautiful. ‘‘King of Bedding Plants’’ is a title they have, and richly deserve. They begin to bloom by 
the end of June and never stop till frost. The flowers are a veritable blaze of color in every shade imagi- 
nable (except blue) and either plain, dappled, edged, striped or variegated. Plants range in sizes from 
2% to 7 feet high with foliage of green or bronze often striped like some rare tropical plant. So you see 
they are suitable for planting in beds of all possible shapes and sizes or for placing along fences, walls, 
porches or driveways, for screens, hedges and border plants. (See our Suggestions, page 53.) They 
grow most anywhere, but do best in rich soil. We send full cultural directions with every order and also 
tell you how to keep the roots over Winter. Canna Lilies ordered early should be started indoors. 
Plant out when the ground is warm (say May 10th in this latitude). Easy to grow and multiply rapidly. 
Try some. 
At the St. Louis World’s Fair 1904 
, C. & J. Canna lilies came into direct competition with exhibits of 
the leading firms of this country and Europe, and the judges 
were unanimous in awarding (Highest possible Award) the 
GRAND PRIZE 
To THE CONARD & JONES COMPANY, WEST GROVE, PA

GIANT FLOWERING 
New Grand Prize — cANNa LILY ‘| ouisiana”’ 
At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis, 1904, where all the finest Cannas were on exhi- 
bition— Louisiana was pronounced the finest orchid flowering kind in existence. The plant is a vigorous 
grower, producing a thick mass of glossy green foliage; and height nearly 7 feet; its flowers are like 
beautiful orchids; size often more than 7 inches across and every inch a vivid scarlet. It blooms tre- 
mendously, often 4 or 5 stalks flowering at once. You cannot conceive of anything more gorgeous. 
Its intense beauty and brilliancy are simply indescribable. Get one and watch it. 
Price, strong potted plants, 50 cts. each; 6 for $2.50, postpaid.

“Next to that clever Frenchman, M. Crozy, the world owes 
more toa talented American, Antoine Wintzer, vice-president 
of The Conard & Jones Company, for the great advance that 
has been made in Cannas during the past fifteen years, than 
to any other one man.— Extract from ‘Horticulture,’ a 
Boston Journal devoted to Gardening, August sz2th, 1905, 
The C. & J. varieties represent the highest type of up-to-date 
Canna excellence. The largest and finest flowers, the greatest 
variety and brilliancy of color and the kinds best constituted 
to stand the trying conditions of our American climate. Our 
reputation has grown accordingly until to-day we are looked 
up as 
Headquarters for High-Grade Canna Lilies. 
Gentlemen :— 
‘While on the subject, I believe I have as great a variety 
as any one inthe country. I have every Canna listed by your 
company, by —— —— 5 and ——. In addition, I have 
perhaps ten varieties not to be obtained in the market, some of 
them of superb shading, habit and* quality. In all, I have 
more than 100 kinds, the exact number Ido notknow, * * 
* * * *, Asa student of every Canna, I can truthfully 
say that you have the best offerings of any house in the 
country.” Very truly, 
L. D. YAGER, Illinois. 
It is because of the superior size, brilliancy and quality of 
our stock that expert judges and customers all agree that 
C. & J. Canna Lilies are best in the World.
