LUXURIANT TROPICAL FLOWERS 



ON YOJJR LAWN FROM JUNE TILL FROST 



C. & J. LARGE-FLOWERING CAN NAS 



Bright, fresh, vivid colors are needed in both parks 

 and home grounds during the summer, 

 and no flowers are better suited for this 

 purpose than the gorgeous, large- 

 flowered, continuous-blooming Cannas 

 which can now be had from almost 

 pure white, through shades of the 

 lightest to the darkest pinks, reds, 

 yellows, and the new apricot shades 

 which have just recently been intro- 

 duced. In C. & J. Sfi Cannas 

 you have shades of every color 

 (except blue) to produce a 

 brilliant or subdued effect, 

 according to the needs of the 

 place to be planted. C. & J. 

 Cannas are unique in the 

 quantity and quality of the blooms 

 they produce all summer and until 

 frost. We develop and originate new 

 Cannas, and Antoine Wintzer, our 

 Vice-President, has to his credit 77 

 of the finest varieties in e.ustence. 

 His latest triumph, the new Mrs. Pierre S. 

 duPont (shown in color opposite), surpasses 

 every other Canna near this color for sheer loveliness. 



Good yellow Cannas have been scarce. Our 1923 

 Novelties include not one yellow only but an assort- 

 ment of yellows of different shades, different heights, 

 and more nearly pure golden yellow than heretofore 

 known.

— dwarf 



The finest and most brilliant 

 yellow Canna ever grown. It 



excels all other yellow varieties in firmness of petals, which 

 makes the heads of flowers verv lasting. In fact, this Canna 

 comes into the cut-flower class and can be used with great 

 effect for indoor decoration. $5 each, postpaid. 



S Vlllcan ^ '*• Medium-sized flowers, borne in great heads 



' of brilliant cardinal-red color. The ebony-colored 



stems help the dark effect of this new beauty. Splendid for 

 bedding and a delightful sight when massed. $3 each, ppd.

well-shaped, firm-petaled flowers that keep 



so well they can be freely used for indoor decoration and 

 make a brilliant show in electrically lighted rooms. The 

 color is rich lemon-yellow, which fades to a pleasing cream 

 color as the flowers age. Being dwarf in growth makes it 

 valuable for edging beds of tall red Cannas like The Presi- 

 dent or Meteor. $5 each, postpaid. 



ifi Razzle Dazzle. ^ '*• The flowers are exquisitely colored 

 * crimson-maroon and each petal edged 

 with brilliant yellow. The blooms come in loose clusters,

 keeps the bloom-heads always bright. $5 each, postpaid.

^—^ Canna. It is extremely attractive in color, having 



the effect of the leaping orange and yellow flames from a 

 clear burning fire. The color holds bright until the flowers 

 fall. It is a strong, upright grower, the torch-like heads 

 standing well above the foliage. $5 each, postpaid. 



S Goldenrod. * '*• ^ dwarf yellow variety for edging beds 

 i^ — — and for using along driveways. No flower can 

 give a more spectacular and pleasing effect. The color is

 producer of bloom. $5 each, postpaid.
