GENERAL LIST OF DREER'S SELECT 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



Under this heading we offer on this and the four 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 128 and 129, forms not the longest list of varieties, 

 but what is undoubtedly the finest collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever oSered 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 fohage. 



Amalie de Greiff. A desirable and very popular 

 bedding variety, large, well-formed double flowers, 

 long shapely buds carried on long stiff stems, in 

 color a delicate satiny rose-tinted white. 



American Legion. A bright cerise-red, a strong 

 vigorous growing variety with large fuU flowers; very 

 free. $1.50 each. 



Antoine Rivoire . Anideal 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. Abeautiful rich-color- 

 ed 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, fuU 

 flower, very free and distinct. SI. 50 each. 



Betty. After this becomes established it produces 

 blooms of marvellous beauty, particularly so in the 

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

 glowing coppery-rose color, suffused with a golden sheen.

Caroline Testout. Described and offered on page 129. 



Chateau de Clos Vougeot. An ideal Rose of a dazzling color, 

 being a rich scarlet, shaded fiery red, changing to dark velvety crim- 

 son as the flowers expand; it blooms continuously throughout the 

 season. 



Columbia. 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. The flowers, of 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. 



Constance. A free-flowering variety, producing beautiful long 

 orange-yellow buds of perfect form, more or less streaked with crim- 

 son; as they develop they open to a full globular flower of golden- 

 yellow. 



Duchess of Wellington. Described and offered on page 129. 



Edgar M. Burnett. Very large, full flowers of splendid form, with 

 large flesh-colored petals tinted rose, an advance on the type of Rose 

 of which the beautiful Lady Alice Stanley is a representative; one 

 of the sweetest scented Roses in existence.

 color, which is a rich red with a suffusion of deep salmon and coppery- 

 yellow with a deeper shading in the bud stage of carmine and yellow; 

 very sweetly scented.
