DREER'S "PEERLESS" DOZEN CANNAS 



Out of the scores of new Cannas annually introduced in Europe and America, 



we select the very choicest, finally creating what has been justly called a collection 



of the World's Best Cannas. 



The Peerless Dozen offered below is just what the name implies, in the sense 



that it is unequalled by any other combination of twelve varieties for in- 

 trinsic worth and effectiveness. Each variety stands prominent in its color, 



and all are healthy vigorous growers and free bloomers. 



Carmine Beauty. Bright deep carmine flowers produced freely in large 

 trusses well above the heavy dark green foliage. The intense coloring and 

 freedom of blooming make it remarkably attractive. 4 ft., 35 cts. each; 

 $3.50 per doz. 



Centurian. A vigorous grower producing immense trusses of deep 

 orange flowers. One of the most interesting French varieties. 4J ft. 



Cheerfulness. Its name aptly describes the lively beauty of this 

 charming variety. Bright fiery deep orange florets which are 

 broadly bordered golden yellow. The large trusses are '' 



carried very erect over the massive foliage and are produced ) 



in great profusion. 3 J ft.

 very freely produced on vigorous upright stalks. 4| ft. y-'

Rosea Gigantea. Extra large, deep rich rose-colored flowers, borne in 

 most prolific abundance. 4 ft., 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



Surpasse Reverchon. This variety was sent to us from France under a 

 name which duplicated that of an established American variety. It is 

 best described as a vastly improved Louis Reverchon. The cochineal- 

 red flowers are brighter, larger, and more freely produced over light bronze 

 foliage. 4§ ft.

 stems well above the foliage and are of deep cream or straw yellow color
