Dreer's Large-Flowering CANNAS 



Cannas bloom from early summer until 

 frost in all sections of the country. They 

 succeed best in a sunny position and in 

 practically any kind of soil, responding 

 freely to liberal treatment. For best re- 

 sults, prepare the bed about two feet deep 

 and include a generous supply of well- 

 decayed manure. They enjoy plenty of 

 moisture during their growing season. 



All varieties have green foliage unless 

 otherwise specified in the descriptions. 



Canna roots as well as plants will be 

 sent by Parcel Post if you will add 

 10% (15% west of the Mississippi) to 

 their price for postage and special 

 packing. Minimum charge 10 cents.
