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, re- 
sponding freely to liberal treatment. For 
best results, 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.

Dreer’s Superb Tuberous-Rooted Begonias ® 
Graceful free-blooming bedding or pot plants doing best in a semi-shaded 
position and in a moderately moist soil well supplied with humus. 
They grow best where summers are not excessively hot and reach perfection 
either in higher altitudes or in sections located close to the ocean. Abundant 
night fogs are particularly beneficial. Thorough soil drainage and a slightly 
acid reaction of the soil are important yet they must have plenty of humus
