C. & J. Large -Flowered Canna Marvels 



UNSURPASSED FOR GORGEOUS TROPICAL 



BLOOM FROM JUNE TILL FROST 



Leadership in Canna -growing has 



long been credited to the Conard & Jones v^ 

 Co. We have offered varieties above the 

 average quality. Our Vice-President, \ 

 Mr. Wintzer, during the past twenty- 

 five years has originated, and we have 

 introduced, "close to a hundred varieties, kinds 

 better than existing sorts. Probably more 

 high-grade Cannas have been originated by us than 

 by all other firms combined. This is Canna Head- 

 quarters. We have cut out the poor kinds. The 

 very choice ones only are here offered to you. 



One of our delighted patrons, who plants many 

 Cannas on his own grounds, but also comes each 

 summer to revel in the wealth of color masses 

 around our grounds, said to us: "No other flower 

 I can buy will begin to produce the abundance of 

 color for so long a season for so little money as will 

 your Cannas." 



Park superintendents and expert gardeners have 

 learned this, and many of them come to us each year 

 for our newer and improved varieties. The vast grounds 

 around the public buildings at Washington, as well as 

 public parks in our largest cities throughout the nation, 

 bear witness to the fact that we offer a Superior Product.

Ifi PALM BEACH. 3V 2 to 4 ft. Broad, long-petaled flowers of 

 maize-yellow, with a faint blush of pearly pink. Really a 

 rival of the daintiest orchids. The throat and lower petal
