The Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa. 



'YOU HAVE THE 



Finest Cannas in the World 



I CONGRATULATE YOU" 



recently remarkeld the late Mr. George H. Brown, landscape gardener in charge of 

 the United States Public Buildings of Washington, D. C. 



Ten thousand C. & J. Cannas planted on the White House and Public Grounds 

 at our Nation's Capitol attest to his sincerity, and give to Conard & Jones Cannas 

 the stamp of Government approval. 



At a recent two-year international test of Canna Lilies made by the Royal Hor- 

 ticultural Society of England, in competition with Germany, Italy, France, and 

 England, we zuere the only firm representing America. From 220 varieties tested the 

 English judges gave to ourselves 40% of all the awards; furthermore, Conard & 

 Jones Cannas were the only ones to win out in every color class represented. 



Note Also the Opinion of a Prominent American Florist. 



"To Antoine Wintzer, Vice-President of The Conard & Jones Co., belongs the 



credit of producing the finest Cannas in 

 existence, excepting only King Hum- 

 bert. His Venus was a revelation to 

 everyone who planted it." — (From the 

 paper by E. G. Hill before the Illinois 

 State Florists' Association, at Urbana, 

 Feb. 9. 1911.) 



Evidence like this marks our Im- 

 proved Cannas as of unquestioned su- 

 periority. 



"The greatest breeder of new American Can- 

 nas is Mr. Antoine Wintzer, who has raised nearly 

 40,000 crosses." — From "Garden Magazine."

2 OF OUR NEWEST 



WINTZER'S NEW CREATIONS 



MRS. CARL KELSEY (6 to 7 ft.)— Here is 

 a Queen indeed; tall, stately plants, all 

 decked in green and crowned most roy- 

 ally. Named for a lady who picked it 

 out from among hundreds of unnamed 

 kinds. Foliage green with a narrow 

 edge of purple, and with erect, full 

 heads of enormous flowers, each one 

 wider than this page. The color is an 

 orange scarlet wondrously flaked and 

 striped with golden yellow, and the 

 petals are wavy edged. We know of no 

 other Canna so marvelously marked. 

 (See cut, page 3.) 



$5.00 per dozen; $20.00 per 100. 



GLADIO-FLORA (3% ft.)— Remarkable for 

 the unusual shape of the flowers, which 

 look like large gladiolus. Petals are not 

 long and tongue-shaped, but short and 

 rounded and so wide they overlap each 

 other, thus giving a very attractive, 

 rounded aopearance to the flowers. 

 Color is crimson, changing to carmine 

 rose with an uneven edge of gold to 

 each petal. 



$2.50 per dozen; $15,00 per 100. 



The demand for Wintzers' New Improv- 

 ed Cannas is such that it will pay you to 

 lay in a stock. If you would avoid disap- 

 pointment, ORDER EARLY.
