“THE BOOK OF THE 
CANNA ” 
is a splendid guide to the proper 
selection, care and cultivation of 
the Canna. It treats of the origin 
and history of the flower, describes 
in detail the 108 varieties we offer, 
including 72 of our own develop¬ 
ment, shows the winners at the 
exhibitions, and explains why it is 
we receive the approbation of such 
societies as the American Florists, 
who in National Convention at 
Minneapolis in 1913, gave foremost 
place to C. and J. Cannas over 
competitors. This book is free. 
Surely you ought to send for it 
— and at once — for planting 
time is near. 
You will find many varieties of Conard and Jones Swastika Brand Cannas. No 
better recommendation can be had than the adoption of these varieties by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture for use on the most visited grounds around the 
public buildings of the Nation’s Capitol. 
THE CANNA IS THE PREMIER PLANT 
FOR DISPLAY BEDDING. Conard and 
Jones’ Cannas have a stateliness and contin¬ 
uity of bloom and clear, clean foliage which 
have.won for them the highest popularity. 
MR. ANTOINE WINTZER, THE 
CANNA WIZARD 
is our vice-president. He has de¬ 
veloped ^the “Finest Cannas in the 
World,” having trebled the variety 
of colors, increased the endurance 
of the bloom, and given bronze 
foliage to flowers that before only 
had green. He personally tests every 
variety three years before putting it 
on the market and has handledfover 
40,000 seedlings with remarkable 
results.
