DREER'S SELECT CANNAS 



We aim to supply the "World's Best Varieties" of Cannas, irrespective of source of origin, but it is most 



gratifying to note the high rank which is now held by American-raised varieties. 



The prices here quoted are for strong 2- to 3-eye, fresh-cut divisions, of which delivery can be made at any 

 time before April 1st, after which date only w^ell-established growing plants from 3-inch pots can be furnished. 



The increasing demand for started Cannas has induced us to specialize in these, and we are preparing a 

 large stock of 3-inch pot-plants for delivery after April 1st. 



The average florist, who prepares for the demand for Easter plants, will find this well-established stock, 

 of which we can make delivery immediately after Easter, a profitable investment. The plants will be in proper 

 condition to shift at once into 4- or 5-inch pots, thus making ideal plants for retailing at bedding-out time. 



PRICES ON DORMANT AND POT-PLANTS OF CANNAS 



The prices liere quoted are for dormant 2- to 3-eye divisions. Tlie price for well-established 3-inch 

 pot-plants will be as follows: All varieties priced at $8.0O per 100 or less in dormant roots will be supplied 

 in pot-plants at the uniform rate of $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; $70.00 per lOOO; but on all varieties listed 

 above $8.00 per 100, the price of both dormant roots and pot-plants will be the same.
