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 to 125, forms not the longest list of varieties, but what is 

 undoubtedly the finest collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose loving American public.

flowers with cur\-ed petals; its growth is vigorous; of desirable spreading habit 



with healthy bronzy-green foliage.

long stiff stems, in color a delicate satiny rose-tinted white.
