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 

 results, prepare the bed about two feet deep and include a liberal 

 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. 



Two Sensational Cannas 



These two magnificent pink varieties will be supplied as growing 

 plants only owing to the fact that the roots are difficult to store. 

 These can be shipped at any time after February, but we strongly 

 advise that you request shipment to be made to you at the proper 

 planting time, which is after danger of freezing is past.
