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



The accompanying illustration shows the marvelous improvement 

 which has been made in Cannas. The small flower-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 packet 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 1 inch deep in a moist, sandy soil. 

 You should get about sixty per cent to germinate. Transplant to 18 

 inches apart as soon as the ground is warm — not before. 



C. & J. seeds are saved from picked flowers only and cannot be 

 duplicated anywhere 



The following list of named kinds have been picked from named 

 Cannas; but. as they are not segregated, the seeds cannot all be expected 

 to come true to name; but they will in every case produce beautiful 

 blooms.
