ONE OF MANY TESTIMONIALS 
Gentlemen: 
I got a packet of your prepared Canna Seed, 22 in number, and, after soaking the seed twenty- 
four hours in almost hot water, planted them. It is just three weeks ago today since I got the 
seed, and sixteen of the twenty-two are up—some of them 3 inches high; the other six are 
sprouted and will be up a few days later. I keep them by the kitchen range until they begin to 
come up, then transfer them to the window. I think this a good advertisement for The Conard 
& Jones Canna Seed. (Miss) F. E. P., Great Bend, Kansas. 
The Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., recognizes the superiority 
of our Cannas and orders them periodically. (See page 44 and cut below.) 
Our Vice-President, Antoine Wintzer, has won an international reputation as an 
originator and propagator of new Pedigree Cannas. His years of patient, skillful, per- 
sistent cross-hybridizing has given us a wealth of new and rare varieties from which 
have been chosen the largest and most beautiful. For richness of color, size and 
durability, these Cannas far surpass the ordinary sorts and kinds you may have 
been accustomed to see. In short, this page offers you not only the largest assort- 
ment, but unapproachably the finest Cannas to be had from any one, anywhere, 
and seeds are all at small cost. (Be sure to see the chapter on Canna Plants on pages 
44 to 49, and our beautiful Cannas in colors on back cover page.) 
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 cus- 
tomers we have already prepared in this way all the named varieties of seeds offered 
on this page. A pkt. 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 I inch deep. You should get about sixty per cent to germinate. 
Transplant to 18 inches apart as soon as ground is warm. 
“The greatest breeder of new American Cannas is 
Mr. Antoine Wintzer, who has raised nearly 40,000 
Our seeds are saved from picked flowers only and cannot be duplicated anywhere crosses.” —From Garden Magazine.
