Above prices are for C. & J. Lily-Canna-Beds delivered in U. S. A. 
HOW TO ARRANGE CANNAS IN A CIRCULAR BED 
(ret the tallest-growing varieties in the center, and then care- 
hilly grade each succeeding circle, using dwarf kinds for the outside. 
Plant one Canna in center of bed, next six Cannas 18 inches apart in 
» c ircular row 18 inches from center. For each succeeding circle 
uw six more Cannas than were used in the previous circle and make 
■ K inches farther away from the center. A io-foot bed thus planted 
will contain i Canna in center, 6 in first circle, 12 in second circle 
mil 18 in outer circle, all 18 inches apart. 
HOW TO PLANT and GROW C. & J, IMPROVED CANNAS 
Dormant Canna roots may be started indoors during March or 
April, but should not be set out until weather is settled and the 
ground warm—usually May or June in this latitude. When planting 
dormant roots do not set too deep. The eye should show a little 
through the ground when done. Plant in good, rich garden soil mixed 
with one-half of old, rotted stable manure. Set them about 18 inches 
apart each way. Water sparingly the first two weeks after planting; 
when growing freely, water liberally. 
RECENT NOVELTIES 
CHOICEST VARIETIES LILY-CANNAS 
WHITE AND YELLOW SHADES 
Hi BLANCHE WINTZER. 3 J /2 feet. One step nearer the perfect 
white Canna. The Florist’s Exchange, September 28, 1912, 
says: “This is the finest white Canna, undoubtedly, the 
world has ever seen.” Strong plants, $2 each, postpaid. 
Hi DRAGON. 3 to 4 feet. An incessant bloomer which keeps 
sending up new bloom-stalks, until cut down by frost. Dark 
ox-blood-red. Strong plants, $1 each, postpaid. 
Hi FLAG OF TRUCE. 4 feet. A large-flowered, 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. Strong plants, $1 each, postpaid. 
Hi GAIETY. 5 feet. Reddish orange, mottled with carmine 
and edged with yellow. The tongue is yellow and densely 
spotted with carmine. Strong plants, $1 each, postpaid. 
Hi POCAHONTAS (Bronze Olympic). 4*/2 feet. Large, orient- 
red flowers, borne on firm, upright stems, just enough above 
(he foliage to show the entire head. The foliage is a dark 
bronze-green with emerald shadings, the ribs a darker 
bronze. Strong plants, $1 each, postpaid. 
Hi PRINCETON. 3 to 4 feet. An intense, bright yellow flower, 
with a decided dash of red in the throat. Its principal value 
lies in its ability to resist bleaching better than any other 
yellow Canna. Strong plants, $1 each, postpaid. 
Hi WINTZER’S COLOSSAL. 5 feet. Without doubt the 
largest-flowered Canna to date, as the average flowers more 
than cover a man’s hat. The color is a strikingly vivid 
scarlet that retains its brilliancy. (See cut, page 43.) Strong 
plants, 40 cts. each; roots, 35 cts. each, postpaid.
