Flower Seeds 
YOU CAN GROW C. & J. LILY-CANNAS FROM SEED 
The accompanying illustration shows the marvelous improvement 
which has been made in Cannas. The small flower-head was taken 
from a plant of the original native Canna and the large head from one 
of our latest seedlings. The flowers of the latter are immense, the 
individual petals measuring over 3 inches across. It is flowers such as 
these that may be looked for from the C. & J. Extra-Choice New 
Pedigree Canna Seed which we offer below. 
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 customers we have already prepared in this way all the named 
varieties of seeds offered on this page. A packet 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 1 inch deep in a moist, sandy soil. 
You should get about sixty per cent to germinate. Transplant to 18 
inches apart as soon as the ground is warm — not before. 
C. & J. seeds are saved from picked flowers only and cannot be 
duplicated anywhere 
The following list of named kinds have been picked from named 
Cannas; but, as they are not segregated, the seeds cannot all be expected 
to come true to name; but they will in every case produce beautiful 
blooms.
