18 HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—SELECT ROSES 
HARDY 
EVERBLOOMING HYBRID=TEA ROSES 
For Garden culture the Hybrid-Tea Roses have now taken the foremost rank. They have been produced by crossing the free- 
flowering Tea Roses with other varieties, principally of the June-flowering or Hybrid-Perpetual class, thus combining not only the 
free-flowering habit of the Tea Rose with the rich and varied colors of the other classes, but also comparative hardiness. 
The greatest efforts of the world’s most noted Rose specialists during the past quarter of a century have been devoted to the 
improvement of this type, and the results achieved have been really wonderful. Not only is every color known in Roses now rep- 
resented, but there are many beautiful shades and color combinations not found in the other kinds. 
SPECIAL IMPORT OFFER OF 
Hardy Everblooming Hybrid=Tea Roses 
While most amateurs prefer to plant our potted Roses after danger from frost is past in spring, many of the leading rose experts 
would rather plant newly imported dormant plants in the late autumn. We fully recommend autumn planting, provided the 
plants are given proper winter protection. In the latitude of Philadelphia we have found that the most satisfactory method of 
protection is to draw up a mound of soil 8 to 10 inches high around each plant, and when the surface of the bed is frozen to 
cover with a few inches of any loose material, such as strawy manure, evergreen boughs or corn stalks, the idea being not to ex- 
clude the frost, but to prevent the alternate freezing and thawing of the bed, which is so injurious to all plants. Asa rule, our 
main importations of roses do not arrive until December or January, but if you will place your order with us before September 1st, 
we will arrange to import the necessary number of plants for such advance orders to arrive on or about November 15th, which 
should be ample time to set out the plants before the ground is closed by frost. 
We give below and on the page opposite a list of 50 of the very best Hybrid-Tea varieties, from which to make your selection, 
and offer them at the special import price of 40 cents each, $4.00 per dozen, $30.00 per hundred. The plants being dormant, 
they can be packed lightly and forwarded to the most distant parts of the country at very little cost for transportation.
