 Dreer’s “Peerless Dozen” Cannas 
The merits of the varieties making up this collection of Cannas is 
evidenced by increasing popularity and still more by the fact that with 
_ many added novelties we find ourselves unable to make 
more than two changes from last year’s set. 
We are confident that no more satisfactory set of 
twelve popular priced Cannas can be assembled. 
Eureka. Our own introduction and the best white 
Canna for all purposes. The large substantial flowers 
are very freely produced on strong vigorous plants; 
43 feet. 
_Fanal. An intense fiery cinnabar-red that compels 
attention. An ideal grower, producing a great 
abundance of flowers on upright stems well above 
the foliage. One of the best bedders; 4 feet. 
_ Favorite. This is the best yellow Canna spotted 
with red dots. The yellow is intense, and the dots, 
not too pronounced, add to the beauty of the flowers 
without detracting from the golden mass. This 
variety received the highest award at the 1917 meet- 
ing of the Society of American Florists; 44 feet. 
-_ General Merkel. One of the earliest and freest- 
flowering varieties, holding its flowers well above 
the foliage; in color a brilliant scarlet, suffused with 
orange, the base and edge of petals marbled golden 
yellow; 4 feet. 
_ King Humbert. The most popular Canna. Great orange-scarlet flowers 
surmount the vigorous dark bronze foliage throughout the season; 5 feet. 
_ Meteor. Magnificent bedding variety with massive erect trusses of deep 
___ blood-red flowers, produced with a freedom that leaves nothing to be 
desired. The best deep red large-flowered Canna; 5 feet. 
Mrs. Alfred Conard. One of the very best Cannas in commerce to- 
day. The large exquisitely shaded salmon-pink flowers are produced 
in great abundance on robust upright stalks; 4 feet.

_ Orange Bedder. Our own introduction. Superior to all preceding varieties of this 
color. Awarded Certificate of Merit by the Society of American Florists, 1917. Par- 
ticularly attractive bright orange, with just enough scarlet suffusion to intensify the daz- 
zling mass of color. A very free bloomer; 6 feet. CEE E

_ The Gem. The immense trusses of flowers are borne well | Wintzer’s Colossal. The largest flowering Canna we have 
above the foliage on upright stems. Color a deep cream or seen. Individual florets often measure over eight inches 
straw-yellow, dotted with pale carmine; refined. A vigorous genes ne Colon ise bine Be iseae hue plan js\2 sttong 
, vigorous grower and very free-flowering. Ji is of the Italian 
grower and free-flowering; 4} feet. or Orchid-flowering type and very striking; 5 feet. 
Yellow King Humbert (Queen Helene). Offered by us’for the first 
time in 1917. It has proven so satisfactory that there is a possibility 
that the demand for it may equal that of King Humbert in a few 
years. Identical with King Humbert in habit of growth and flower- 
ing, and produces yellow flowers, dotted with red, and has green foliage; 
5 feet.

plant, it flowers during the spring and summer months, remaining in bloom 
for a long period. The flowers are about 2 inches long, and are borne in 
dense clusters of from 10 to 20 flowers each; in color it is of a fine orange- 
red, shading to buff. Large, strong plants, 75 cts. each.
