when full blown as in the bud state; in 

 color a distinct Indian-yellow, shading 

 lighter towards the edges. 

 Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller: As 



a pink bedding Rose there is none better, 

 and particularly so for massing, the flow- 

 ers are distinct and novel in shape, the 



Dr eer's Roses tor 

 the Garden 



The bulk of our Roses are field grown in 1917, then carefully dug, planted in pots and stored in 

 cold frames. Under this plan the stock is strong and ready to start blooming, and much super- 

 ior to stock forced by high temperature. 



The Dreer Dozen Hardy Everblooming Hybrid Tea Roses 



will furnish a constant supply of blooms throughout the summer and autumn — include the best 

 of every color. 



Caroline Testout: One of the most popular 

 bedders. Bright satiny-rose, very free and 

 fragrant. 



Duchess of Wellington: Intense saffron-yellow 

 stained with deep crimson, changing to a deep 

 coppery saffron-yellow. Fragrant and very free- 

 flowering. 



Ecarlate: Produces a greater number of flowers 

 than any other Hybrid-Tea Rose in our collec- 

 tion; the flowers while not large are of an intense 

 brilliant scarlet color and of perfect form. 



Lady Ash town : Flowers are large, double with 

 high-pointed centre, produced on long stems. 



Lady Ursula: The flowers produced on every 

 shoot are very large, and a delightful tone of 

 flesh-pink, delicately tea-scented. 



Laurent Carle: Large, deliciously-scented, bril- 

 liant carmine flowers throughout the season, 

 nearly as good in hot, dry weather as under more 

 favorable conditions. 



Mme. Leon Pain: Silvery-salmon, with deeper 

 orange-yellow, shaded centre, the reverse of the 

 petals being a salmony-pink; flowers large, full 

 and well-formed; very free-flowering. 



Mme. Jules Bouche: While not a pure white, it 

 being at times slightly tinted with blush on the 

 reverse of the petals, we consider it one of the 

 best white bedding Roses: very free-flowering. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward: A remarkably floriferous va- 

 riety of strong, vigorous, but compact growth; a 

 rich bronzy-green color, the flowers, which are of 

 splendid form, full double, are equally attractive 



petals having wavv or crisped edges not 

 unlike a Paeony. The flowers, which are 

 of large size, remain perfect on the 

 bushes for a long time and are produced 

 very freely ; bright pink color with 

 lighter shadings. 

 Ophelia: Has made such a record for it- 



self that qualifies it to be classed with 

 the very best, a Rose that is admired by 

 everyone, its flowers are held erect on 

 long stiff stems, are of perfect form, 

 large size; and of a delicate tint of sal- 

 mon-flesh, shaded with rose, very flori- 

 ferous. 



Prince de Bulgarie: Large full double 

 flowers of which are produced abundantly 

 throughout the season, a good reliable 

 bedder of a silvery flesh color, deepening 

 to the centre with delicate salmon-rose 

 shadings, a soft pleasing color. 



DREER'S GARDEN BOOK 



besides describing and illustrating Roses for every purpose is the best guide for your War 

 Garden. Its articles for both planting and caring for vegetables were written by experts. 

 The varieties listed are dependable in quality and germination. It is quite as much a 

 Garden Book as a catalogue.

A "Home" Includes Grounds 

 as Well as the House 



TN THE problem of furnishing and beautifying a home, the 

 1 outside is more important than the inside. One hundred see 

 the outside where one sees the inside; yet more time and at- 

 tention is usually given to the interior furnishings, notwith- 

 standing the outside effects are attained at little cost and offer 

 a wider opportunity for individuality. The lawn's appearance 

 is the first impression we receive: it is the last impression we 

 carry away. What is more important than this feature? But 

 remember, a good lawn cannot be attained without adequate 

 fertilization.
