Dreer*s New White Canna Eureka 



CANNAS 



Our Own Introductions 



Kureka. We cuusider tliia the best white flowering 

 L'auna for all purposes to which Caunas are de- 

 voted. It is of rubust constitution, growing four 

 feet high, forming sturdy, shapely plants very 

 (luiekly. Its free flowering tendency can be read- 

 ily understood wheu we chronicle the fact that a 

 small plant set out May ICith. three months later 

 curried 15 immense heads of flowers. These are of 

 a creamy -white, changiug in full sun to a pure 

 white. $l.li5 per doz. ; $S.OO per 100 ; $75.00 per 1000. 



Favorite. There have been mauy yellow Cannas 

 spotted with carmine or crimson that were good; 

 it is, therefore, particularly interesting to And a 

 variety that in every way eclipses its many prede- 

 cessors and for which we have singled out this 

 sort. The color is a rich, deep golden-yellow, pro- 

 duced on tall stems high above the foliage. The 

 red dots, which are not too pronounced, add to the 

 piquancy of the flower, without detracting from the 

 golden mass effect. 5 feet. S5 cts. each ; $3.50 per 

 doz. : $25.00 per 100. 



Orange Redder. A particularly attractive bedding 

 variety of a bright orange with just sufficient scar- 

 let suffusion to intensify the dazzling mass of color 

 when the wide branching stems are covered with 

 flowers. $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000. 



The Gem. An entirely distinct spotted variety. The 

 immense trusses of flowers are borne on upright 

 branching stems well above the foliage, and are of 

 deep cream or straw- vellow, spotted with deep car- 

 mine. $1.25 per doz.; $S.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000. 



One each of the above 4 varieties for 75 cts. 



TWO DISTINCT CANNAS— The Last Introductions Received from Germany in the Autumn of 1914 



Lahneck. In this variety we liave an entirely distinet iici)arture 

 and advance in the assortment of pinli Cannas. First of all 

 we have in Lahneck a free grower, producing an abundance 

 of trusses on erect stalks, well above the foliage. Tlie color 

 is difficult to describe and convey an adequate impression of 

 its worth. It is fundamentally rosy, but throughout the flow- 

 ers there are lines and shadings of scarlet-carmine hues that 

 add much to their brightness. Add to this a narrow pale-gold 

 border and you may form a slight conception of the beautv 

 of this novelty. 75 cts. each ; $7.50 per dozen. 



Schartenstein. Another variety that is sure to take a place 

 among the standard sorts as quickly as it becomes known. 

 The lieautifully formed, large round florets are produced in 

 compact but graceful trusses well above the green foliage. 

 The color is a unique light red salmon with orange and car- 

 mine suttusious that altogether forms a most attractive addi- 

 tion to the range of colors found in Cannas. You will like 

 Scharfenstein. 75 cts. eai'h ; $7.50 per dozen.
