GENERAL LIST OF DREER'S SELECT 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



Under this heading we offer on this and the four pages following the World's best Hybrid-Tea varieties, all of them sorts 

 which we have had the pleasure of thoroughly testing, and which we fully endorse and recommend to the large and small planter, which 

 together with the Dreer Dozen and the newer sorts offered on pages 120, 121, and 127 to 129, forms not the longest list of varieties, 

 but what is undoubtedly the finest collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose loving American public. 

 Admiral Ward. A splendid crimson-red, shaded fiery red; it has 



large globular flowers with curved petals; its growth is vigorous; 



of desirable spreading habit, with healthy bronzy-green foliage. 

 Amalie de GreifE. A desirable and attractive bedding variety, large, 



weU-formed double flowers, long shapely buds carried on long stiff 



stems, in color a delicate satiny rose-tinted white. 

 Antoine Rivoire. An ideal bedding Rose of large size, exquisite 



fragrance, form and coloring, soft peach flesh with deeper shadings; 



the base of the petals yellow. 

 Arthur R. Goodwin. A beautiful rich-colored coppery- 

 orange; "gold of ophir," as a visitor called it who saw it 



in one of its stages of development; as the flower matures 



it opens to a soft salmon pink; a good, fuU flower, 



sweetly scented, free and distinct. $1.50 each.
