"THE DREER DOZEN" 



HARDY EVERBLOOMING HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



For many years it has been customary for us to oSer 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. 



Duchess of Wellington. The most popular yellow garden 

 Rose. Intense sagron-yellow stained with deep crimson, 

 changing to a deep coppery saffron-yellow as the flowers 

 develop. The flowers are fairly full, with large petals, great 

 substance, delightfully fragrant and very free-flowering. 



Hadley. Still one of the best high colored varieties, an intense 

 rich dazzling crimson-scarlet shading to velvety crimson. It is 

 a moderate grower, of per- 

 fect form, deliciously fra- 

 grant and is particularly fine 

 in the autumn. 



Lady Ursula. A Rose of vig- 

 orous, erect growth; exceed- 

 ingly free blooming during 

 the entire summer and 

 autumn. The flowers 

 produced on every shoot 

 are very large, full and 

 of great substance and per- 

 fect form, with high centre 

 from which the petals grace- 

 fully reflex; in color a de- 

 lightful tone of flesh-pink, 

 distinct from all others; delicately 

 tea-scented. 



Los Angeles. This is, by all odds, 

 one of the finest Roses ever in- 

 troduced. The growth is very 

 vigorous, and produces a con- 

 tinuous succession of long stem- 

 med flowers of a luminous flame- 

 pink, toned with coral and shad- 

 ed 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. 



Mme. Edouard Herriot, the Daily Mail Rose. In color its 

 buds are coral-red, shaded with yeUow 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 splen- 

 did form both in the bud as well as in the fully expanded flower; 

 it is fragrant, a vigorous grower and very free flowering. 

 Price. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose 

 Duchess of Wellington 



Mrs. William C. Egan. An extremely vigorous strong healthy 

 grower, with long, pointed buds of absolutely perfect form, that 

 develop into flowers of good shape. In color it is a two-tone 

 pink, the reverse of the petals a soft light pink, the interior deep 

 flesh color with a golden line at the base of the petals; the 

 flowers are carried on long, stiS stems, and last in good con- 

 dition for an unusually long time, either cut or on the plant; 

 an exceptionally free and continuous bloomer. $1.50 each. 



Padre. One of the finest 

 bedding Roses of recent 

 introduction which has 

 quickly gained a prominent 

 position as such. Its color 

 is a brilliant coppery scar- 

 let flushed with yeflow at 

 the base, a brilliant color 

 combination that appeals 

 to everyone. The beauti- 

 ful long buds are borne on 

 very long stiff stems and 

 are splendid for cutting and 

 while the fully, developed 

 flowers are only semi- 

 double they are of unusual 

 formation and attractive 

 in all stages. One of the 

 freest flowering Hybrid-Tea 

 varieties. $1.50 each. 



Radiance. An ideal bed- 

 ding 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 

 briUiant carmine pink, with 

 salmon-pink and yellow shad- 

 ings 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. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A most vigorous grower 

 of erect branching habit, beautiful, brilliant green foHage, long 

 pointed buds of exquisite* shape, carried on long, stiff stems. 

 Very large, full flowers with elongated deep petals, a beauti- 

 fully formed bloom. Color most striking sunflower-yellow, 

 deeper in the centre, without any color blending, and which is 

 retained without fading even in the warmest weather. No 

 other Rose ever introduced has attracted so much attention. 

 $1.50 each. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet. We have felt enthusiastic about 

 this variety ever since its introduction and are convinced that it 

 stands at the head of the list of the many valuable garden Roses 

 that have been produced by Mr. Pernet-Ducher. It is a strong, 

 vigorous grower and produces its large flowers which are beauti- 

 ful in both bud and fully developed bloom, which are of an in- 

 tense oriental red, shading to cochineal carmine at the margin of 



the petals, the whole being suffused with a golden sheen. 

 Any of the above, except where noted, in strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $11.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100. 

 One each of the "Qreer Dozen," a fine Collection, for $12.00.
