1914 C. & J. NEW LILY-CANNAS 
KING OF BEDDING PLANTS | 
To have doubled, and more, the size of a 
flower; 
To have trebled the variety of colors; 
To have increased the endurance of the 
bloom; 
To have given bronze foliage to flowers 
that before had only green; 
After nineteen years of faithful, enthusiastic 
hybridizing is the record of our Vice-President, 
Antoine Wintzer, America’s Canna Wizard. 
Novelties for 1914 
MRS. WOODROW WILSON 
Color is a charming shade of rich, soft 
crimson-pink, particularly clear and pleas- 
ing to the eye. Flowers are large, with 
broad, overlapping, gracefully rounded 
petals of great substance and durability. 
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Canna is an early, 
continuous and abundant bloomer. Habit 
is robust, but leaves do not hide the 
flowers; foliage is light green, prettily 
veined. 4 ft. Strong plants, $3 ea., ppd. 
GOLDEN GATE (4 feet) 
Have you ever watched a sunset as, 
silently, in the golden glow, marvelous 
tints and tones flung out their fiery flames 
and held you spellbound with admiration? 
No less wonderful are the tints and 
shades that spread their rosy-fingered 
rays over the petals of Golden Gate. The 
flowers open almost pure gold, but soon 
become richly rayed with orange-crimson 
and apricot, centering to the throat of 
deep carmine-red. Foliage green. Not 
yet for sale. 
JANE ADDAMS (41, feet) 
True, rich buttercup-yellow (richer than 
Buttercup Canna), with a suggestion of 
red in the throat. The buds are dark 
maroon, very pretty, and they blend 
artistically in color with the bright yellow 
blooms and soft green foliage. 
This Canna has a strong, erect habit 
of growth, and is gloriously bright 
and attractive when grown singly, in 
rows or when grouped for bedding. We 
predict a promising future for this unusual 
yellow beauty. Strong plants, $2 each, 
prepaid. 
‘AWINTZER’S COLOSSAL (5 ft.) 
The largest-flowered Canna in com- 
merce today. It far outstrips its nearest 
rival in size, brilliancy of color and 
endurance. See illustration and descrip- 
tion, page 48.

PANAMA 
| 
To have won for these improved flowers leading 
awards at the great expositions in America; 
To have won for America the majority of the awards 
against all competing nations of Europe in a two- 
year international competitive test by the Royal 
Horticultural Society of England; 
To have the superiority of C. & J. Cannas recognized 
and to have them used by the leading parks of our 
country; 
Is evidence conclusive that C. &. J. Improved Lily- 
Cannas are superior to all other existing sorts, and 
that they have, by merit alone, won the title of 
“The Finest Cannas in the World.” ; 
-Three Pre-eminent 
C. & J. Lily-Cannas 
APANAMA (3 feet) 
The color of this splendid Canna is 
unusual, being an attractive rich orange- 
red, with a well-defined edge of bright 
golden yellow. The flowers are very large, 
the petals being almost round and the 
immense spread of the individual blooms, 
coupled with the early, free-flowering habit 
and unique coloring, make this Canna most 
noteworthy. It always gets special atten- 
tion wherever shown. (See cut.) Strong 
plants, $1 each, prepaid. 
“BLANCHE WINTZER (34 ft.) 
One step nearer the perfect. white 
Canna; whiter and larger than Mont 
Blanc, which for ten years has been the 
best. Mr. Wintzer looks upon ‘Blanche 
Wintzer”’ as one of his greatest ttiumphs, 
so exquisitely white and puré%are its 
glistening petals. A rather dwarf grower, 
with green foliage, fine for bordering beds, 
for individual specimens, and for indoor 
bloom. The Florists’ Exchange, September 
28, 1912, says: “‘This is the finest white 
Canna, undoubtedly, the world has ever 
seen.” Strong plants, $2.50 each, prepaid. 
“OLYMPIC G feet) 
The color effect presented by Olympic 
is new in Cannas and most fascinating. 
It is a distinctly new departure, being a 
most captivating shade of rich, oriental red, 
with center flamed a lighter shade and 
dappled carmine. Individual blossoms are 
of the largest size, and the huge clusters 
make heads that are simply immense. 
Four to six strong bloom-stalks are pro- 
duced in a season, with two and often 
three heads of -glorious flowers to each 
stalk. (See cut.) $1 each, postpaid.
