« THE DREER DOZEN" 

 Hardy Everblooming Hybrid=Tea Roses. 



For many years it has been customary for us to offer under this heading only the most popular, well tried varieties of Hybrid- 

 Tea Roses, wiih the majority of which every lover of the Rose is familiar. 



We recommend tliis collection for general planting to the amateur who wishes a limited number of varieties, and who is desirous 

 of a supply of extra choice flowers to cut throughout the summer and fall months. Those who desire a more extensive collection 

 should include Dreer's " Peerless" Twelve, offered on page 176, which we can recommend just as strongly; in fact in our entire 

 collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses offered on pages 167 to 177 there is not one individual sort which we cannot endorse as possessing 

 superior merit, and with the exception of a very few of the 1915 novelties, which come to us from noted reliable specialists, all 

 have been thoroughly tested in our own trial grounds. 



CAROI.INE XESTOUT. 



One of the most popular and valuable bedding varieties; large, 

 full, globular flowers of bright satiny-rose, with brighter centre; 

 very free and fragrant. 



GEXERAl, MacARTHUR. 



As an all-round garden Rose, there is no variety of its color — 

 a rich crimson-scarlet — ^which will give equal satisfaction; a 

 clean, healthy vigorous grower, producing its sweetly scented 

 flowers of good doul)I'» form in great profusion even under the 

 most unfavorable weather conditions. Illustrated on plate op- 

 posite. 



JONKHEER 



J. I.. MOCK 



Although introduced only five 

 years ago, this beautiful Rose has 

 quickly found its place among our 

 best bedding varieties. The flowers, 

 which are produced with the greatest 

 freedom on long, stiff stems, are of 

 large size and of perfect form, of a 

 deep imperial-pink, the outside of 

 the petals silvery rose-white; highly 

 perfumed. (Illustrated on plate 

 opposite. ) 



KAISERIN 



AUGUSTA 



VICTORIA. 



This splendid Rose 

 should be in every collec- 

 tion. In color it is a soft 

 pearly-white, tinted with 

 just enough lemon in the 

 centre to relieve the white; 

 remarkably fragrant, beau- 

 tifully formed flowers on 

 long, graceful stems; a strong, free, healthy 

 grower, with bold, handsome foliage 



KILI.ARNEY. 



This is, perhaps, the best known of Dick- 

 son's famous Irish Hybrid-Tea Roses, and 

 is one of the most popular of our garden 

 Roses, and also one of the leading varieties 

 for winter cut flowers. It is perfectly hardy; in growth it is strong 

 and robust, and as free-flowering as any Rose we know. In color 

 it is a spirkling brilliant-pink; the blooms are large, the buds 

 long and pointed, the petals very large and of great substance, 

 and just as handsome in the full-blown flower as in the bud 

 form. (See cut. ) 



I.ADY ASHTO^VN. 



One of the freest-flowering varieties in the collection, and pro- 

 duces perfect blooms under all weather conditions. The flowers 

 are large, double, with high-pointed centre, and are produced 

 on long stems; splendid for cutting; in color a soft rose, shading 

 to yellow at the base of the petals. 



LAURENT CAREE. 



Produces its large, deliciously scented, brilliant carmine flowers 

 throughout the season, nearly as good in hot, dry weather as 

 under more favorable weather conditions. A vigorous grower, 

 and as hardy as a Hybrid Perpetual. 



MME. EEON PAIN. 



Entirely distinct' in color, a 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. RAVARY. 



Should be in every collection on ac- 

 count ofits distinct color, which is of a rich, 

 9| deep nankeen-yellow, becoming lighter as 

 the flower expands. The flowers are of 

 splendid form, full, double 

 and very fragrant. 



MRS. AARON 

 WARD. 



Few Roses in our trial 

 grounds attract as much at- 

 tention as this beautiful 

 French introduction, which 

 in color is a distinct shade 

 'J Indian-yellow, which is 

 more decided in dry than 

 wet weather, the yellow 

 shading sometimes disap- 

 pearing almost entirely in 

 extended periods of wet, 

 cold weather; one of the 

 freest-flowering varieties in 

 our collection. (Illustrated 

 on plate opposite.) 



MRS. WAKE- 

 FIELD CHRISTIE-MIEEER. 



Entirely distinct, the petals having wavy or crisped edges, 

 the flowers are very large and full double, of a soft pearly blush 

 shaded salmon; the outside of the petals a clear vermilion-rose, 

 an attractive color combination. Habit of plant vigorous, free 

 and perpetual-flowering. 



PRINCE DE BUEGARIE. 



Large, full, double flowers of splendid form, of a silvery flesh 

 color, deepening to the centre, and delicately shaded with sal- 

 mon-rose, a color combination that pleases everyone.
