DREER’S LARGE FLOWERING CANNAS 
Cannas are the most economical and effective plants employed in our Gardens. They bloom from early summer until frost in all 
sections of the country, succeeding in any sunny position in any kind of soil, but responding quickly to liberal treatment. For best results 
the beds should be spaded about two feet deep, and a generous amount of well-decayed manure of any kind thorouzhly incorporated, and 
at all times freely watered. 
They are most effective when planted in masses of one variety, setting out the plants about two feet apart. They are also very 
effective when planted in mixed borders, where their long flowering season insures a constant display of color. 
All varieties have green foliage unless otherwise specified.
