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.
