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. All varieties have green foliage unless otherwise specified.

 mense florets. A really noteworthy acquisition. 4£ feet.
