"THE PRESIDENT" 



Chosen by an Overwhelming Majority as the 



GREATEST CANNA 

 IN COMMERCE 



"I have been much impressed with some of 

 the new Cannas that I have tried this Sum- 

 mer, and cannot refrain from mentioning two. 

 These are The President and Snow Queen. 

 President is by all odds the best red Canna 

 today, larger and better than Firebird and a 

 free bloomer; the foliage is strong and does 

 not bum, as does that of Firebird. Those who 

 have tried Firebird and lamented that it 

 would not do on account of diseased foliage 

 will rejoice to know that at last we have a 

 Canna that is 'right.' Snow Queen is whiter 

 than any other Canna on the market. It is also 

 one of the largest individual flowers among 

 Cannas of any color, is as free as the freest, 

 and the trusses are of enormous size. It has 

 a better habit of growth and better foliage 

 than either Eureka or Flag of Truce, the 

 best two whites heretofore. Only in the best 

 reds do we find anything that approaches it 

 in general value." — FLOYD BBAUJAS.

Description. — "We thought so much of this Canna we put It in color 

 on our catalog. — Height, 4 feet. In color, a rich, glowing scarlet, 

 and the immense, firm, rounded flowers, 7 inches across when open, 

 are produced on strong, erect stalks well above the large, rich green 

 foliage. "The President" is superior to any other red variety in the 

 quantity and also quality of bloom, and the firm flowers resist 

 drought and heat to a remarkable degree. A large bed of this 

 variety was planted last year on the grounds of the Washington 

 Monument, Washington, D. C. Another "President" Canna bed was 

 on the Garden Pier at Atlantic City, while several more were to be 

 seen in the largest public parks in this country where these beauti- 

 ful flowers received the unqualified admiration of every Canna- 

 lover. Naturally, a tremendous demand has been created. Get 

 your order placed now for delivery at planting time. 



Price, 10 for $2.2S, 100 for $15.00, 1000 ftr $125.00. F. 0. B. Wettgmc.
