HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA, PA., WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 



THE YELLOW CANNA, R. WALLACE 



Six Grand Cannas of Recent Introduction. 



Frau Marie Nagel. The most floriferous of the large white-flowered 

 varieties; an excellent bedder, contrasting well when planted in 

 connection with some of the high-colored sorts. The flowers are 

 large, with broad, well-rounded petals, and are produced in the 

 greatest profusion on 3^ feet high branching stems. They are of a 

 creamy-white when first opening, changing to almost a pure white. 

 |i.oo per'dozen ; $7.00 per 100. 



Grand Chancellor Bulow. Rich deep crimson-scarlet overlaid with 

 maroon ; very large spikes of good-sized flowers of good substance 

 thrown well above the fine green foliage ; 3 feet. 85 cents per dozen ; 

 |6.oo per 100. 



Mephisto. The darkest crimson variety yet introduced ; flowers of 

 large size, held well above the foliage; $% feet. 35 cents each; 

 $3.50 per dozen. 



Richard Wallace. As a good free-flowering yellow Canna of vigor- 

 ous growth, we believe that this variety comes nearer to the ideal 

 than any variety yet offered. In color it is a pleasing canary-yellow, 

 with exceptionally large flowers, which are carried well above the 

 green foliage in upright well-branched trusses ; 4J4 feet. 85 cents 

 per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 



Venus. One of the softest and most delicately-colored varieties that 

 has yet been introduced. The flowers are of a fair size, of a soft rosy 

 pink, with a pretty mottled border of creamy yellow. The plant 

 always presents a clean, fresh appearance, and attracts much atten- 

 tion. It grows about 3'/^ feet high, and has bright green foliage. 85 

 cents per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 



William Saunders. A gorgeous bronze-leaved variety, probably 

 coming nearer to the ideal Canna than any yet introduced. The 

 flowers are of a bright crimson-scarlet, often measuring five inches 

 across, of remarkable substance and durability, and are produced in 

 large trusses, nearly a foot across. The plant is of a uniform habit 

 of growth about 4 feet high. $2.50 per dozen ; I20.00 per 100. 

 One each of the above 6 varieties for $1.00. 



Dark=leaved Canna, Black Beauty. 



In dark-leaved Cannas no variety is so effective as " Black Beauty ;" 

 the massive foliage is of such an intense rich color as to at once place 

 it at the head of the list of ornamental bedding plants, where foliage 

 or sub-tropical effect is wanted. The plant grows 5 to 6 feet high, with 

 foliage of the richest glistening bronzy-purple, shaded black, and hav- 

 ing crimped, wavy margins. $1.50 per dozen ; $10.00 per 100.

 ter, and which are produced in trusses of gigantic size, are of a bril- 

 liant orange-scarlet with bright red markings; while the foliage is 

 broad and massive and of a rich coppery-bronze ; bold and effective ;
