C. & J. CANNA SEED. 
UR 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 to 5 days before planting, after 
which they are as sure to grow as any other kind of seeds. 
‘The seed is saved from our own unrivaled collection of 
the finest named varieties of our ©. & 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 flow- 
ers in a great variety of colors. This is undoubtedly 
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 one else. We know 
of no flowers that will bloom quicker or make a more 
handsome display of gorgeous colors. lease notice we 
offer three qualities of New Pedigiee Canna Seeds, 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 
Fiybrida, good mixed, the only difference being in the more 
careful selection of the higher priced grades.
