Hybrid-Tea Rose, Sir David Davis 



Betty Uprichard. A pretty combination of colors, inner face 

 of petals delicate salmon-pink to carmine, outside glowing car- 

 mine with coppery sheen and orange suffusion; well-formed 

 medium sized flowers of good substance and sweet scented. 



Duchess of Wellington. Long shapely buds, with petals of 

 great substance, color an intense saffron-yellow stained deep 

 crimson, delightfully fragrant and very free flowering. 



Imperial Potentate. The beautifully-shaped long buds de- 

 velop into large double sweet-scented flowers of glistening rose- 

 pink with silvery suffusion at base of petals. Growth vigorous, 

 upright and very free flowering. 



Mme. Butterfly. Beautiful buds and flowers, light soft pink 

 tinted yellow at base of petals, very free and highly 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. A wonderful color 

 combination. 



Mme. Jules Bouche. While not a pure white, it being at 



times slightly tinted with blush at the centre, it is to all intents 

 white and without question the best white everblooming 

 bedding Rose yet introduced. The flowers are large, quite 

 double and of splendid form, both in the bud as well as in the 

 fully expanded flower; it is fragrant, a vigorous grower and very 

 free flowering. 



Mrs. Charles Bell. Similar in habit to Radiance with splendid 

 buds and flowers of fine globular form, of a lovely shell-pink 

 color with salmon shadings, sweetly scented. 



Mrs. Henry Bowles. One of the best bedding varieties 

 grown, always in flower and perfect in every stage of develop- 

 ment. In color it is of an intense brilliant pink with lighter 

 salmon pink shadings. A model Rose in every way. See 

 colored illustration, page 147. 



Radiance. An ideal bedding Rose of American origin that con- 

 tinues to produce its large fragrant 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. 



THE "DREER DOZEN" 



Hardy Everblooming 

 Hybrid-Tea Roses 



For many years it has been customary for us to offer under this 

 heading only the best and most popular varieties of Hybrid-Tea 

 Roses. The collection offered this season has been carefully re- 

 vised and the selection has been made based on careful observa- 

 tions made in our own trials and in various parts of the country 

 as well as from favorable reports received from satisfied customers. 



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 confidence 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. 



Sir David Davis. As this variety has shown up in the fields 

 during the past two seasons, we do not hesitate to select it as one 

 of the best red bedding Roses. Color, an unfading deep glowing 

 crimson of an even shade throughout running to light yellow at 

 the base of petals. The flowers are of good size, pointed and of 

 good form with large, heavy petals and strongly sweet scented. 



Ville de Paris (City of Paris). A very distinct rich buttercup 

 yellow without a trace of any other color, retaining its richness 

 under all weather conditions. In formation it is somewhat similar 

 to Radiance, fairly double and splendid for cutting. Habit up- 

 right, and tall, a profuse bloomer. Awarded much-coveted 

 Gold Medal at the trials at Bagatelle Rose Gardens, Paris.
