DREER'S SELECT LIST OF 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES. 



Under this heading we offer on this and the following three pages the World's best introductions of Hybrid-Tea varie- 

 ties prior to the year 1913, all of them sorts which we have had the pleasure of thoroughly testing in our own trial grounds 

 and which we can fully endorse and recommend to the large and small planter, and which, together with the Novelties of 1913, 

 1914 and 1915, which are offered on pages 167 to 171, and our "Peerle<;s" and " Dreer " Collections of Special Sorts offered on 

 pages 176 and 177, form what is undoubtedly the finest and most extensive collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever 

 offered to the Rose loving American public. 



Antoine Rivoire (Fernet Ducher, ISOfi). An ideal bedding 

 Rose of large size, exquisite form and coloring, which is soft 

 peach-flesh with deeper shadings; the base of the petals 



yellow. 



Arthur R. Goodwin (Fernet Ducher, 1909). A beautifully 



rich-colored coppery orange; "gold of ophir" a visitor to our 



trial grounds very correctly 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 full flower, very free and distinct. 

 Belle Siebrecht (Dickson & Sons, 1895). A superb Rose 



of a brilliant pink color; the flowers are large, of good form; 



buds long and tapering. 

 Betty (Dickson & Sons, 1905). Early in the season this is a 



disappointment in the first flowers which it opens, hai after 



it becomes established it produces blooms of marvellous 



beauty. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, producing 



in great profusion its large, deliciously-scented flowers, which 



are of a glowing coppery-rose color, suffused with a golden 



sheen. 



Dean Hole (Dickson & Sons, 1904). Silvery carmine with 



salmon shadings; large, full and of fine form; a variety of 



great excellence. 

 Ecarlate (Boytard, 1907). Froduces only medium-si/ed 



flowers, but is such a brilliant scarlet in color and such an 



incessant bloomer that we count it among the best bedding 



varieties. 



Earl of Warwick (Faul & Son, 1904). A magnificent Rose 

 and entirely distinct from all other varieties. The flowers 

 are large and full, of beautiful form, and come perfect 

 throughout the season under all weather conditions. In 

 color it is a soft salmon-pink, shaded in the centre with 

 vermilion. 



Edward Mawley (McGredy. 1911). A beautiful rich crim- 

 son, touched with maroon, with a delightful velvety gloss on 

 the petals, which are large, forming a good-sized flower with 

 high globular centre. The growth is strong and the flowers 

 are borne in profusion. Awarded a Gold Medal by the 

 National Rose Society. 



Etoile de France (Fernet Ducher, 1905). Color vivid crim- 

 son with darker shadings, fine cupped form, very double and 

 of large size. 



Farbenkonigin or Queen of Colors (Hinner, 1902). A 

 very attractive and showy variety, the large, fragrant flowers 

 being a most desirable imperial pink. One of the most popu- 

 lar Roses in Europe; an especial favorite with German Rose- 

 growers. 



Florence Pemberton (Dickson & Sons, 1903). A splendid 

 large creamy-white suffused witli pink, perfect in form and 

 always in flower. 



Price, any of the above in strong two-yexr-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. ; $40.00 per 100. 



Dreer's " Peerless " dozen of Hybrid-Tea Roses are extra choice. See page 1 76.
