Dreer’s Cannas in the New York Botanical 
Garden, Bronx Park, New York 
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 and as many as 12 
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.
