C. & J. NEW LILY-CANNAS 1915 
KING OF BEDDING PLANTS 
To have doubled, and more, the size of a 
flower; 
To have trebled the variety of colors; 
To have increased the endurance of the 
bloom; 
To have given bronze foliage to flowers 
that before had only green; 
After twenty years of faithful, enthusiastic 
hybridizing is the record of our Vice-President, 
Antoine Wintzer, America’s Canna Wizard. 
HAD YOU BEEN PASSING HERE 
IN YOUR FLYING - MACHINE 
last summer, there would have burst upon your gaze a spot of earth ablaze with color (the acres of Cannas of The Conard & Jones 
Co.); but had you come nearer you would have seen that this color is made up of row upon row in solid separate colors, waving like 
broad ribbons across the field. (See illustration on page 44.) In appearance one section is a real floral kaleidoscope. Dismount 
and enter this carefully guarded collection, and if you were attracted by the first sight, you will marvel at this wealth of color in riot¬ 
ous array. Visitors invariably are enthused, then enraptured, at the beauty and size, the shades and combinations and abundance 
of bloom of our wonderful seedlings. 
Remember that for nearly twenty years our Vice-President, Antoine Wintzer, has been selecting and cross-breeding the finest 
specimens from this unusual race, and from these thousands of his flower-children we have picked out for you just five superior 
new sorts, listed below and deserving a place in every up-to-date collection. 
POCAHONTAS (4 1/ 2 feet) 
(Bronze Olympic) No. 4279 
The large, orient red flowers are borne on firm, upright stems, 
just enough above the foliage to show the entire head. The 
foliage itself is a dark bronze-green with emerald shadings, the 
ribs a darker bronze. Single roots of this Canna produce from 
five to twelve grand bloom-stalks in a season, and each stalk 
makes two or three bloom-heads, with from twenty to thirty 
perfect flowers on each. A truly magnificent sort, an early and 
continuous bloomer. Strong plants, $2.50 each, postpaid. 
FLAG OF TRUCE (4 feet) No. 4311 
A large-flowered, green-leaved, cream-white Canna with faint 
pink dots on each petal and a sulphur-colored tongue. When a 
short distance from the flowers they appear pure white. The 
heads average eight to twelve blooms on each, and each bloom- 
stalk generally has three heads of flowers, which bloom in suc¬ 
cession, thus keeping the plant in bloom all the time. Strong 
plants, $2.50 each, postpaid. 
THREE MAGNIFICENT 
DRAGON (3 to 4 feet) No. 2527 
If it were not for “Beacon,” which we introduced in 1912, this 
Canna would be in a class by itself. It blooms incessantly and 
keeps sending up new bloom-stalks about every week, until cut 
down by frost. Dark ox-blood-red, and especially suitable for 
mass planting. Strong plants, $2.50 each, postpaid. 
PRINCETON (3 to 4 feet) No. 4063 
An intense bright yellow flower with a decided dash of red in 
the throat, extending well up on the petals and showing on the 
tongue also. Its principal value lies in its ability to resist 
bleaching better than any other yellow Canna. It flowers early. 
Strong plants, $2.50 each, postpaid. 
GAIETY (5 feet) No. 4252 
Color is reddish orange, mottled with carmine and edged with 
yellow. The tongue is yellow and densely spotted with carmine. 
When planted in solid beds or rows produces a dazzling effect. 
Strong plants, $2.50 each, postpaid.
