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 
('annas, 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.
