THE "DREER DOZEN" 



HARDY EVERBLOOMING HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



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

 of Hybrid-Tea Roses, with the majority of which every lover of the Rose is familiar. 



We recommend this 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 season. Those who desire a more extensive collection can select with perfect con- 

 fidence any variety in our collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses. There is not one individual sort which we cannot endorse as possessing superior 

 merit, all having been thoroughly tested. 



Caroline Testout. One of the most popular and valuable 

 bedding varieties; large, full, globular flowers of bright satiny- 

 rose, with brighter centre, very free and 

 fragrant. The Rose that made Portland, 

 Oregon, famous as the Rose City. 



Duchess of Wellington. The most popxilar 

 yellow garden Rose. Intense saffron-yeUow 

 stained with deep crimson, changing to a 

 deep coppery saffron- yell iw 

 as the flowers develop. The 

 flowers are fairly full, with 

 large petals, great substance, 

 delightfully fragrant and very 

 free-flowering. 



Hadley. Beautiful, well- 

 shaped, long buds and large, 

 full, perfect flowers of an 

 intense, rich, dazzling, crim- 

 son-scarlet shading to 

 velvety crimson and ( "" 

 deliciously fragrant. 

 The plant is of vigorous 

 growth, and is conceded 

 to be one of the best Roses of 

 its color. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victor- 

 ia. This splendid Rose 

 should be in every collection. 

 In color it is a soft pearly- 

 white, tinted with just 

 enough lemon in the centre 

 to relieve the white, remark- 

 ably fragrant, beautifully 

 formed flowers on long 

 graceful stems; a strong, 

 free, healthy grower. 



Killarney Brilliant. Tliis is a sport from the original Kil- 

 larney in which we have a Rose far more intense in coloring, it 

 being a rich glowing shade of rosy-carmine, and in addition to 

 its rich color it is also larger and more double than its parent. 



Los Angeles. This is, by all odds, one of the finest Roses ever 

 introduced. The growth is very vigorous, and produces a con- 

 tinuous succession of long-stemmed flowers of a luminous flame- 

 pink, toned with coral and shaded with translucent gold at the 

 base of the petals. In richness of fragrance it equals in intensity 

 the finest Marechal Neil. The buds are long and pointed, and 

 expand into a flower of mammoth proportions, while the beauty 

 of form and ever-increasing wealth of color is maintained 

 from the incipient bud until the last petal drops. 



Price. Any of the above, except where noted, in strong two-year-old plants, 

 more supplied at the 100 rate. 



One each of the "Dreer Dozen," a fine collection, for $12.00. 



Lady Ursula. A truly magnificent Rose of vigorous, erect 

 growth; exceedingly free blooming during the entire summer and 

 autumn. The flowers produced on every shoot are very large 

 full and of great substance and perfect form, with high centre, 

 from which the petals gracefully reflex; in color a delightful 

 tone of flesh-pink, distinct from all others; delicately 

 tea-scented. 



Mme. Edouard Herriot, the Daily 



Mail Rose. In color its buds are 



coral-red, shaded with yellow at the 



base, the open flowers of medium 



size, semi-double, are of a superb 



coral-red, shaded with yellow and 



bright rosy-scarlet passing to 



_____ shrimp-red. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. A 



/ remarkably floriferous 



/' variety of strong, vig- 



orous, but compact 

 growth; the flowers, which 

 are of splendid form, full 

 double, are equally attractive, 

 when fuU blown as in the bud 

 state; in color a distinct In- 

 dian-yellow, shading lighter 

 V towards the edges; under cer- 

 \i^ tain weather conditions, the 



^ entire flower will sometimes 



come light colored, but it is 

 beautiful under all color vari- 

 ations. 



Radiance. An ideal bedding 



Rose of American origin 



that continues to produce 



its large flowers throughout 



the most unfavorable hot summer weather when frequently 



many other varieties fail; in color a brilliant carmine-pink, 



with salmon-pink and yellow shadings at the base of the petals; 



truly a Rose for every garden. 



Red Radiance. A counterpart of Radiance from which it 

 is a "sport," possessing all the good traits of that valuable variety 

 but differing in color which is a bright cerise-red. 



William F. Dreer. A beautiful Rose of the same parentage a; 

 Los Angeles, and which, for delicacy of coloring, is not com 

 parable to any other variety, it reminding one of the delicate 

 tints of some varieties of water lilies. The flowers, which are 

 similar in shape to Los Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful 

 in all stages of development, are at their best in the half-ex 

 panded flower. These, in expanding, are of a soft, silvery shell 

 pink, the base of the petals of a rich golden- yellow which, at 

 certain stages of development, gives a golden suffusion to the 

 entire flower, this golden suffusion being particularly brilliant 

 early and late in the season. $1.50 each. 



00 each; $12.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100. 25 or
