The President 



Two Sensational 

 Pink Cannas 



These two magnificent pink varieties will be 

 supplied as growing plants only owing to the fact 

 that the roots are difficult to store. They can be 

 shipped any time after February but we strongly 

 advise that you order early and request shipment 

 to be made to you at the proper planting time 

 which as you know is after danger of freezing 

 is past. 



Jersey Rose 



An unusually attractive variety bearing truly 

 immense flower trusses composed of large glossy 

 deep rose-colored blooms. It is an exceedingly 

 free bloomer reaching a height of from 3% to 4 

 feet which makes this plant ideal for bedding. 

 The growth is compact and the bright green 

 foliage presents a splendid background to the 

 vividly colored blooms. 



Mrs. Pierre S. duPont 



Wherever this superb variety is displayed it 

 invariably is an object of the greatest admiration. 

 It is a truly outstanding Canna growing 4 feet 

 tall, bearing above the luxuriant rich green foliage 

 magnificent trusses composed of large well-formed 

 blooms presenting a delicately toned watermelon- 

 pink color. We never have succeeded in producing 

 enough of this variety to satisfy the demand. 



Either of the above, growing plants only: 

 $25.00 per 100. 



Dreer's Select Canna Plants 



After April 1st we expect to have strongly es- 

 tablished Canna plants in 3-inch pots of all the 

 varieties given above at $10.00 per 100. 



As the quantity we shall pot will be limited we 

 advise placing orders as early as possible to insure 

 delivery.
