DREER'S NEW WHITE CANNA, EUREKA 



•> C A N N A S 



Our Own Introductions 



Eureka. Another season's trial fully demonstrates our former 

 claims for this variety — that it is the best white for all purposes 

 to which Cannas are devoted. It is of robust constitution, grow- 

 ing four feet high, forming sturdy, shapely plants very quickly. 

 Its free flowering tendency can be readily understood when we 



r chronicle the fact that a small plant set out May 15th, three 

 months later carried 15 immense heads of flowers. These are 

 of a creamy-white, changing in full sun to a pure white. Its 

 superior merits have been acknowledged by all who have seen 



Pit, and we unhesitatingly pronounce it the best white Canna yet 

 introduced. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. 



Favorite. There have been many yellow Cannas spotted with car- 

 mine or crimson that were good; it is, therefore, particularly 

 interesting to find a variety that in every way eclipses its many 

 predecessors and for which we have singled out this sort. The 

 color is a rich, deep golden-yellow, produced on tall stems high 

 above the foliage. The red dots, which are not too pronounced, 

 add to the piquancy of the flower, without detracting from the 

 golden mass effect 5 feet. 35 cts. each; 43.50 per doz.; 125.00 

 per 100. 



Orange Bedder. A particularly attractive bedding variety of a 

 bright orange with just sufficient scarlet suffusion to intensify 

 the dazzling mass of colors when the wide branching stems are 

 covered with flowers. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. 



Remarkable. A distinct and effective bronze variety that stood 

 out boldly from all other sorts in our fields, not only on account 

 of its height (over 6 feet) , but particularly on account of its beau- 

 tiful bronze foliage and the scarlet-carmine flowers which force 

 attention. The tall, graceful habit and strong coloring make it 

 a valuable addition. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



The Gem. An entirely distinct spotted variety. The immense 

 trusses of flowers are borne on upright branching stems well 

 above the foliage, and are of deep cream or straw-yellow, spotted 

 with deep carmine. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



One each of the 5 sorts for $1.50.
