3 FEET 



This new Canna provides another 

 color in the apricot shades that have 

 become so popular. It was selected by 

 Mrs. Crowninshield as the prettiest un- 

 named variety in our new Cannas, two 

 seasons ago. 

 The throat of the flower is glowing apricot, which shades to a suffusion of pinkish buff or summer 

 sunset tints over the petals, finally edging off to a distinct border of maize-yellow. 



Flowers are medium in size and so firm in texture they can be used for cutting and last a long 

 time in water. $3 each, postpaid. 



Four Latest and Greatest Modern Cannas 



C. & J. PEDIGREE LILY CANNAS 



IN 40 DIFFERENT COLORS 



From white and exquisite tints of yellow, peach, and orange to 

 tango, scarlet, and deep red 



Leadership in Canna- growing has long been 

 credited to The Conard & Jones Co. 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 introduced by us than by all other firms 

 combined. This is Canna Headquarters. We 

 have cut out the poor kinds. The very choice ones 

 only are offered here for you to choose from. 



THE GARDEN CLUB OF AMERICA 



in their bulletin of November, 1922, published the follow- 

 ing from Mrs. Francis B. Crowninshield: 



"... I came upon a terrace whose tubs 



contained the most wonderful plants, 3 to 



4 feet high, masses of leaves of a clear bright 



green, and stalks of flowers resembling 



orchids, only instead of mauves there were pinks, 



whites, and pale yellows. Could this be the despised 



Canna of railroad stations and poorly planted park 



fame? It was, and none other! 



"This metamorphosis of the Canna was produced 



by Mr. Antoine Wintzer, of the firm of Conard & 



Jones, West Grove, Pa., who has spent his life 



changing one of our public 



scourges into one of the most 



beautiful flowers. 



"Perhaps some of the Bul- 

 letin readers in motoring 

 from Washington to Phila- 

 delphia have suddenly come 

 upon the dazzling fields of 

 this nursery, filled with row 

 upon row of the new, large- 

 flowered, low-growing sorts, 

 giving a stretch of color only 

 equaled by the tulips of 

 Holland." 



New, 1924 



IfiMRS. PIERRE S. DU PONT. (See cut.) 

 This new Canna surpasses all other pink 

 varieties. The color, a vivid watermelon- 

 pink, is exceedingly rich and attract ive. 

 Although the single flowers are very large 

 and form immense heads, each petal is so 

 firm that the blooms always open perfectly 

 and do not wilt in the hot summer sun. The 

 wavy or crinkled edge to the petals is a new 

 departure in Cannas. The flower-stems are 

 strong and upright, holding the heads well 

 above the healthy, green foliage. Visitors 

 here are amazed that such a marvelous head 

 of glorious flowers could be produced on one 

 stem. We have watched many a new variety 

 come up and later give way to a newer rival, 

 but we predict that Mrs. Pierre Du Pont will 

 long reign as preeminently queen of all the 

 pinks. $5 each, postpaid. 



Ifi TANGO. 4 ft. The largest-flowered, tawny- 

 orange-colored Canna. It is extremely at- 

 tractive 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. $1.50 each, postpaid. 



Jfi RADIO. 4 ft. Large flowers of delicate 

 primrose- white. In masses and at a distance, 

 the effect is pure white. This Canna makes 

 a splendid foil or background for the rich 

 colored pinks and reds and is so nearly white 

 that it will be listed among the white va- 

 rieties. $1.50 each, postpaid. 



Ifi VULCAN. 3 ft. Medium-sized flowers, borne 

 in great heads of brilliant, glowing, velvety 

 cardinal-red color. The ebony-colored stems 

 help the dark effect of this new beauty. 

 Splendid for bedding and a delightful sight 

 when massed. $1.50 each, postpaid. 



When motoring next summer 

 come and see our glorious fields 

 of Cannas.
