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 thoroughly incorporated, and 
at all times freely watered.

LARGE-FLOWERING CANNA, THE PRESIDENT 
(Offered on page 159) 
Carmine Beauty. Bright deep carmine flowers produced freely 
in large trusses well above the heavy dark green foliage. The 
intense coloring and freedom of flowering make it remarkably 
attractive. 4 ft. 
Dazzler. Masses of fire-red flowers heightened by an orange 
suffusion completely cover the dark green foliage of this 
splendid and most effective variety. 3} ft. 
Favorite. The best yellow dotted with red. The yellow is 
intense and the dots not too pronounced add to its beauty with- 
out detracting from the golden mass. The intensity of its 
coloring has caused it deservedly to be called the ‘“Yellowest 
Canna.” 4} ft. 
Harmony. Great clusters of good sized, well formed, Geranium- 
red flowers are arranged on good stems in such a manner as to 
give the trusses an almost globular appearance; carmine bronze 
foliage makes a harmonious combination. 3} ft. 
Hungaria. An ideal pink bedder, flowers large in good sized 
trusses produced very freely, color a beautiful clear rose, with 
a softness and refinement that is charming. 3} ft. 
They are most effective when planted in masses of one variety, setting out the plants about two 
feet apart. To find the number of plants required for any bed from 3 to 20 feet in diameter, see 
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. 
Four Surpassing Novelties 
in Cannas 
We offered these four novelties last season at fancy prices; 
a large stock this year enables us to supply them at greatly re- 
duced prices; they are among the most desirable sorts of recent 
introduction and will please you. 
Enchantress. A vigorous growing, free flowering variety, 
unapproached in quality or beauty. Color a delicate old rose 
passing to light salmon as the flowers age. 4 ft. 
Frau Dr. Klein. A free grower with tall erect stems supporting 
large trusses of immense well formed, very substantial flowers 
of a glossy carmine red. Entirely distinct among the newer 
type of giant flowered varieties. 5 ft. 
Golden Eagle. The flowers, while large, are not of giant size; 
it is very free and early, of a clear golden yellow, throwing 
its showy trusses well above the foliage. No other pure yellow 
equals it in all round worth and effectiveness. 4 ft. 
The Ambassador. Its wonderful vigor, healthy bronze 
foliage and brilliant cherry red flowers combine to make this 
one of our most effective and attractive varieties. It has ap- 
propriately been referred to as the “Bronze leaved President;” 
it, however, blooms earlier and more freely than that justly 
popular variety. 
Price. Any of the above 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; one each 
of the set of 4 sorts for $1.75. 
Twelve Superior Cannas 
This set contains several varieties which have never been offered before, 
others that we have now been able to produce in sufficient quantities for the 
first time, and still others which, although previously offered, are still so 
scarce that few of our customers have had the opportunity to secure them. 
Jersey Rose. The interest manifested in the many beautiful 
variations in pink Cannas, leads us to anticipate an enthusiastic 
reception of this novelty, the coloring is a bright and cheerful, 
glossy, carmine-rose, the flowers are large, of perfect form and 
freely produced on compact, 3} ft. high plants. 
Orange Bedder. Particularly attractive and desirable, color a 
bright orange with just enough scarlet suffusion to intensify 
the dazzling mass of color when the well branched stems are 
covered with flowers. 4 ft. 
Rosea Gigantea. Large flowers in great abundance; the indi- 
vidual petals are often 2} inches across, of a deep rich rose, 
almost a coral carmine. 4 ft. 
Salmonea. A French introduction of great merit, of a distinct, 
intense shade of salmon-flesh. Flowers of medium size very 
freely produced over a deep bronzy green foliage; their pro- 
fusion lends a wonderful sufficiency to the effectiveness of this 
novelty as a bedding plant. 3} ft. 
Salmon Queen. The large flowers are of a deep salmon suffused 
with old rose; a vigorous upright grower with heavy dark green 
foliage. 44 ft. 
Verouna. Deep russet orange flowers of medium size form a 
strong contrast to the purple bronze foliage; a showy and 
valuable bedding variety. 4 ft. 
Washington. The best very dark red we have yet discovered, 
of free flowering vigorous habit, the deep cardinal red flowers 
with slight orange suffusion make a cheerful showing. 44 ft. 
PRICE. Any of the above varieties, 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. One each of the 12
