**YOU 

 HAVE 



THE FINEST CANNAS IN THE WORLD 



The above is the comment made upon a visit here by the late Mr. Geo. H. Brown, 

 Landscape Gardener, U. S. Public Buildings and Grounds, Washington, D. C. 



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, 



is, after eighteen years of faithful, en- 

 thusiastic hybridizing, the record of our 

 Vice-President, Antoine Wintzer, Amer- 

 ica's Canna Wizard. 



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 inter- 

 national 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; 



above is evidence conclusive that C. 



I CONGRATULATE YOU" 



To have the superiority of C. & J. Cannas 

 recognized and to have them used by 

 the Department of Agriculture; 



To have the superiority of C. & J. Cannas 

 recognized and to have them used by 

 the United States Government for 

 beautifying extensively the nation's 

 Capitol, and. 



To have the superiority of C. & J. Cannas 

 recognized and to have them offered 

 by our fellow florists in their catalogs, 



& J. Improved Cannas are superior. 



C. & J. 1913 



BLANCHE WINTZER miu 



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 triumphs, so exquisitely 

 white and pure are its glistening 

 petals. A rather dwarf grower, 

 with green foliage, fine for bor- 

 dering beds, for individual speci- 

 mens, and for indoor bloom. 

 Florists' Exchange, September 

 28, 1912, says, "this is the finest 

 white canna, undoubtedly, the 

 world has ever seen." Strong 

 plants, $5.00 each, prepaid. 



LOVELINESS (3 a) 



The color of this exquisite 

 Canna is most difficult to describe, 

 but we think that "bright ruby car- 

 mine" will conv'ey to our customers 

 the entrancing loveliness of this 

 most charming variety. The blooms 

 are, formed on large heads which are 

 borne erect, and the individual flowers, 

 with firm, well made petals, are of the 

 new "Gladioflora" type, introduced by Us 

 iand illustrated on page 45. The foliage is 

 jdelicate green which harmonizes perfectly with 

 the beautiful flowers. The plant is very robust 

 ;and will produce quantities of flowers in a season 

 Strong plants $2.00 each, prepaid. 



NOVELTIES

JENNIE WALLS FAHNLINE (^y.u. 



This glorious combination of pink 



and primrose arouses enthusiasm 



always on account of its dainty color- 



ng and unique markings. The lips 



of the petals are flashing carmine 



pink, which shades towards a 



throat of soft primrose, delicately 



dappled pink. Each petal is faintly 



edged with gold. Effect is dainty, 



artistic and fascinating. Strong 



plants, $2.00 each, prepaid. 



PANAMA (3 ft.) 



The color of this splendid 

 canna is unusual, being an attrac- 

 tive rich orange red with a well- 

 defined edge of bright golden yel- 

 low. The flowers are very large, 

 the petals being almost round and 

 as broad as they are long. Strong 

 plants, $2.00 each, prepaid. 



MAID OF ORLEANS (4>^ «) 



Ground color is rich cream over 

 which is shaded and mottled in 

 beautiful fashion an attractive pink. 

 The flowers are very large, and the foliage 

 is probably the richest of any of the green 

 leaved kinds, being a soft olive green with 

 the edges tastefully crimped and distinctly 

 marked with bronze. Strong plants, $2.00 each, 

 prepaid.

NOW USED IN THE FOREMOST 

 AMERICAN GARDENS AS 



"King of Bedding Plants" 



Produce, from June till frost, a mass of 

 brilliant bloom in all imaginable colors 

 and combinations (except blue), in sizes 

 varying from 2>^ to 8 and 10 feet high; 

 green or bronze foliage (luxuriant and 

 tropical in effect), with flowers often 7 

 inches across. 



HOW TO PLANT AND GROW 



C. & J. Pedigree Cannas 



Up until May I, we send out our Cannas in Dormant Roots, 

 except the new kinds which we off^er only in potted plants. After 

 May I, we aim to have all kinds ready in potted plants. Price, 

 5 cts. each more than Dormant Roots. Dormant Canna Roots 

 may be started indoors during March or April, but should not 

 be set out until weather is settled and the ground warm, usually 

 May or June in this latitude. When planting Dormant Roots 

 do not set too deep. The eye should show a little through 

 the ground when done. Plant in good, rich garden soil mixed 

 with one-half of old, rotted stable manure. Set them about 

 18 inches apart each way. Water sparingly the first two weeks 

 after planting; when growing freely, water liberally.
