GENERAL LIST OF DREER'S SELECT 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



Under this heading we oflfer on this and the five pages following the World's best Mybrid=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 117 to 130, 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. 

 For best results Hybrid-Tea Roses should be severely pruned; tlie "itronger shoots should be cut back to from 8 to 12 inches in 

 height, while all weak, thin wood should be removed entirely. 

 Admiral Ward (Pernet-Ducher, 1915). 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 Qreiff (P. Lambert, 1914). Destined to become a 

 very popular bedding variety, large, well-formed double flowers, 

 long shapely buds carried on long stiff sterns, in color a delicate 

 satiny rose-tinted white. 



Antoine Rivoire (Pemet-Ducher, 1896). 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 (Pernet-Ducher, 1909). A beautiful 

 rich-colored coppery-orange; "gold of ophir," as 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. 

 $1.50 each. 



Betty (Dickson & Sons, 1905). After this becomes established it pro- 

 duces blooms of marvellous beauty, particularly so in the autumn. Its 

 large, deliciously-scented flowers are of a glowing coppery-rose color, 

 suffused with a golden sheen.

Chateau de Clos Vougeot (Pernet-Ducher, 1908). An ideal Rose of 

 a dazzling color, being a rich scarlet, shaded fiery red, changing to dark 

 velvety crimson as the flowers expand; it blooms continuously throughout 

 the season, fl.50 each. 



Colonel Leclerc (Pemei-Ducher, 1909). The buds are 



well shaped and open to flowers of beautiful cherry-red, 



washed with carmine-lake. An extra good flower of large 



size and globular form; fine autumn bloomer. 



Columbia (E. G. Hill, 1918). This beautiful Rose is not 



only one of the most popular winter cut flowers, but has 



also proven itself a good bedding or garden variety. It is 



of strong, vigorous habit and exceptionally free-blooming. 



T The flowers, of good size, are perfect in form, both in bud 



• ^ as well as when fully expanded. Color a most pleasing 



shade or rose-pink and delightfully fragrant. 



Constance (Pernet-Ducher, 1915). A free-flowering variety, producing 



l)eautiful long orange-yellow buds of perfect form, more or less streaked 



with crimson; as they develop they open to a full globular flower of 



golden-yellow. 



Crimson Queen (Montgomery, 1912). Strong upright habit, flowers 



large and full, very free flowering; color rich velvety crimson.
