YOU CAN GROW C. & J. LILY-CANNAS FROM SEED 



The accompanying illustration shows the mar- 

 velous improvement which has been made in Cannas. 

 The small tlower head was taken from a plant of 

 the original native Canna and the large head from 

 one of our latest seedlings. The flowers of the 

 latter are immense, the individual petals measuring 

 over 3 inches across. It is flowers such as these 

 that may be looked for from the C. & J. Extra 

 Choice New Pedigree Canna Seed which we 

 offer below. 



How to Grow Lily-Cannas 

 from C. & J. Seed 



A thing you need to know about Canna seeds is 

 that they have hard shells and are therefore very 

 slow to germinate unless you take the precaution 

 to file or cut a bit of this away. 



With small, hard seeds this is difficult, therefore, 

 for the convenience of our customers we have 

 already prepared in this way all the named varieties 

 of seeds offered on this page. A pkt. contains about 

 20 seeds; an ounce 75 to 100 seeds. 



When ready to plant, soak seeds in warm water 

 for half a day or more, and then plant indoors, 

 about I inch deep. Vou should get about sixty per 

 cent, to germinate. Transplant to 18 inches apart 

 as soon as ground is warm. 



C. & J. seeds are saved from picked flowers only and can- 

 not be duplicated anywhere
