YOU CAN GROW C. & J. LILY-CANNAS FROM SEED 
ONE OF MANY TESTIMONIALS 
Gentlemen: 
I got a packet of your prepared Canna Seed, 22 in number, and, after soaking the seed twenty- 
four hours in aimost hot water, planted them. It is just three weeks ago today since 1 got ttie 
seed, and sixteen of the twenty-two are up—some of them 3 inches higli; the oilier six are 
sprouted and will be up a few days later, I keep them by the kitchen range until they iM'gin to 
come up then transfer them to the window. I think this a good advcrtiseiiient for The Coiiard 
& Jones Canna Seed. (Miss) F. E. P., Great Bend, Kansas. 
The Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., recognizes the superiority 
of our Gannas and orders them periodically. (See page 44 and cut lielow.)

sistent cross-hybridizing has given us a wealth of new and nire varieties froin whieh

ment, but unapproachably the finest Gannas to be had from tiny one. anywheie,

44 to 49, and our beautiful Gannas in colors on back cover page.) 
How To Grow Lily-Cannas From C. & J. Seed 
A thing you need to know about Ganna 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 cus¬ 
tomers we have already prepared in this way all the named varieties of seeds offered 
on this page A pkt. 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 I inch deep. You should get about sixty per cent to germinate. 
Transplant to 18 inches apart as soon as ground is warm. 
Our seeds are saved from picked flowers only and cannot be duplicated anywhere
