Cr I New Pedigree 

 • ^ ^* 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 sure to grow as any other seeds. This seed is 

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

 rieties 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 in a great variety of color. This is undoubtedly the 

 highest improved Canna Seed ever offered, 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. 

 New Dwarf Canna. Please notice we offer 3 qualities of new Pedigree 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 Hybrida, good mixed; the only 



difference being in the more careful selection of the higher priced grades.
