HI Are the Cannas in Your Park the C. Sr J. Large-Flowering Kind? j|| 
Canna-Lilies for the Conservatory 
TRY SOME THIS WINTER—THEY WILL DELIGHT YOU 
Cannas are plants that prefer moist air, heat, and sunshine to make them produce best results. They 
are rather large for window-gardening, but no flowers grown can produce a more gorgeous show than 
C. & J. Cannas when grown under glass in a warm, sunlit window, conservatory or greenhouse. You have 
all the richest reds to choose from, ranging from intense scarlet to maroon; pinks of all shades; exquisite 
light, deep and shaded yellows, and pure snowy white. 
The protection afforded by glass prevents the immense heads of gorgeous blooms from injury, so you 
can have them in greatest perfection and they are stately and magnificent. 
For conservatory culture you need to plant in clumps which we can ship, ready to plant. Use boxes or 
vases to hold at least one cubic foot of soil. Order, if possible, before October I. 
Price: Varieties Our Selection. Red, Pink, or Yellow, large-flowered varieties, $1.50 per clump □. 
White Cannas, $5 per clump □

in the War Department, U. S. A.; practically, he is re-T\^l 5 i& 
sponsible for the best possible show of bloom and color

White House, and the other public buildings of our 
National Capital. 
When the Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Lane, wants 
a bit of beauty made to modify the severe exterior of the Patent 
Office, it is Mr. Henlock who knows what is needed, and who does it. 
“Well, what did it need?” It needed color, of the right shade, 
in the right place, and for such big buildings a bold stroke of color , 
and further, color that would stay there all summer and still not 
break up the broad sweep of lawn round about. What plant is 
there that can turn such a trick but the Canna—the new, big, 
broad-petaled Cannas, such as have been coming out of West 
Grove, and such as have convinced the men who know how to use 
them that 11 there is nothing to equal them”? 
“And then, Mr. Pyle, another thing that is important—study 
colors: don’t mix them in the same bed; the effect will be far 
more pleasing, as of course you know.” 
“And,” he added, “I want to say this— practically ALL the 
Cannas that we have here in Washington (over 20,000) came from 
The Conard 6* Jones Company at West Grove!”
