METEOR (Wintzer 



After exhaustive tests, our 

 National Government at Wash- 

 ington, D. C, planted in the 

 most visited grounds in the 

 U. S. (around the public build- 

 ings, as here shown) solid 

 beds of Olympic, Meteor, 

 Rosea gigantea, Gladiator, 

 Mrs. Alfred F. Conard and 

 other C & J. sorts. By rigid 

 tests our Government has, for 

 its own use, sifted out the 

 "Largest and Best Obtainable. " 



in National Convention at 

 Minneapolis, 1913, and Boston, 

 1914, gave foremost place to 

 the display of Conard & Jones 

 Cannas over all competitors, 

 mentioning especially Beacon, 

 Blanche Wintzer, Panama 

 and Olympic, all of which are 

 described on pages 40 to 45, 

 These, with others, formed a 

 splendid array that carried 

 off highest honors. Let your 

 Garden also be Prize-worthy.

This series of large Carina beds bespeaks more clearly than words the high favor in which our Cannas are held 



by the Department of Agriculture and those in charge of beautifying the public grounds of our Nation's Capital. 



See also the bed of C. & J. Cannas in front of the White House, on other side.
