Cannas produce more color in greater variety for a longer period over a wider area for the outlay than 
any other plant. But do not confuse these Cannas with the common kinds—their monkey ancestors— 
which we consider not worth planting. These rank with orchids in delicacy of coloring and with Mallow 
Marvels in size. For quality, Conard & Jones’ Swastika Cannas are absolutely unsurpassed.

Extract from the Florist’s Review, September 28, 1919 
“I have been much impressed with some of the new Cannas that I have tried this summer, 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 burn, 
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 Bralliar. 
Si The President 
Height 4 feet. In color, a rich, glowing scarlet, and the im¬ 
mense, 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 beautiful flowers received 
the unqualified admiration of every Canna-lover. Naturally, 
a tremendous demand has been created. Get your order placed

ifi Snow Queen 
Height 4 feet. A striking contrast to "The President,” and 
in circular beds Snow Queen makes a splendid border for the 
outside row with The President in the center. This is a vigor¬ 
ous-growing. white Canna, large in flower and free in bloom. 
You cannot obtain it elsewhere or find its equal. The flowers 
are 6 inches across, with rounded petals 2K inches broad, of firm 
texture, and having the faintest dots of flesh-pink on the petals, but 
the effect is snow-white. 
Mr. E. C. Vick, Garden Editor, in New York Sun of October 26, 
1919. says: “ ‘Snow Queen’ is by all odds the best white Canna I 
have ever seen.” Price, $1 each, 5 for $4.50, 25 for $20, delivered. 
C, & J. CANNA NOVELTIES FOR 1920 
K STATUE OF LIBERTY. Height 6 to 7 feet. This Canna outstrips exaggeration. 
We believe it is, without exception, the largest Canna in existence. Like the 
Statue of Liberty, it overtops anything of a similar nature that can be compared 
with it. Its foliage is bronze, leaves half as large again as its nearest rival, and of 
a rich, luxuriant, ebony shade. It holds aloft a fiery flaming flower, orchid-type, 
blazing flame-red in color. The flowers are of large size and good form. The 
effect is massive and impressive. Price, $5 per plant. Ready April 15. 
ifi CANDELABRA. Height 5 feet. Rarely have Cannas produced more than two heads 
of bloom, or three.at the most, to a single stalk. After twenty-two years of pains¬ 
taking cross-hybridizing, Mr. Wintzer has succeeded in producing this prodigy. 
Three to five flower branches on each stalk at one time is the average made 
on the stock produced in our nurseries this year, and every single branch is 
ablaze with a torch-like flame of fiery orange-scarlet bloom. The branches are 
erect and sturdy; the foliage is rich, green, and very vigorous. A spectacular 
production, a new “break,” and we believe calculated to create a sensation 
wherever planted. Price, $5 per plant. Ready April 15. 
ifi AMERICAN BEAUTY. Height 5 feet. This is the richest colored 
Canna we know —a velvety oriental carmine or translucent cerise. 
It is unusually attractive, with its large flowers of tropical magnificence 
held on firm, straight stems in rich bouquets well above the so f t 
green foliage. Practically every stalk produces two heads of bloom, 
and some have four. Price, $5 per plant. Ready April 15.
