GENERAL LIST OF DREER'S SELECT 



HYBRID -TEA ROSES 



Under this heading we offer on this and the three 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 and 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 spread- 

 ing habit, with healthy bronzy-green foliage. 

 Amalie de GreifE. A desirable and very popular 



bedding variety, large, %vell-formed double flowers, 



long shapely buds carried on long stiff stems, in

vigorous growing variety with large full flowers; very 



free. $1.50 each.

exquisite form and coloring, which is soft peach flesh 



with deeper shadings; the base of the petals yellow. 

 Arthur R. Goodwin. A beautiful rich-color- 

 ed coppery-orange; "gold of ophir," as a 



visitor to our trial grounds verj' correctly 



called it who saw it in one of its stages of 



development; as the flower matures it 



opens to a soft salmofi pink; a good, full 



flower, very free and distinct. §1.50 each.

blooms of marvellous beauty, particularly so in the 



autumn. Its large, deliciously-scented flowers are of a

 good size, are perfect in form, both in bud as 

 well as when fully expanded. Color a most pleasing shade of 

 rose-pink and delightfully fragrant.
