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



DREER'S SELECT CANNAS 



Strong, Well- Established Three Inch Pot Plants 



Ready Early In April 



The increasine demand for started Cannas has induced us to specialize in plants in three inch pots, and we are preparing a 

 large stock of all the popular as well as of the newer varieties in this shape this season. 



The average general florist, who prepares for the large demand for E^ter plants, has but little time or room to devote early in the 

 season to this purpose, and will find the established tliree inch pots which we supply a profitable investment. This stock will be 

 in condition to shift into four or five inch pots when received, thus making ideal plants for retailing at bedding out time. 



All have green foliage unless otherwise specified.
