DREERs SELECT ROSES, 



"XX/E have for years made a speciaUy of Roses for the garden, and, while we offer a limited ^ist of the most promising new varie- 

 V V ties, our eftorts have been more especially directed to the production of large, strong, vigorous plants of the standard, well- 

 tried sorts, which, when planted out in the garden of the amateur, would give immediate results. That our efforts in this line are 

 appreciated is evidenced not only in a continued increasetl demand, but also by hundreds of complimentary letters received 

 expressing satisfaction of the stock which we supply. 



We have this season prepared a larger number of plants than ever before, and we look forward to being able to serve our cus- 

 tomers better than ever. 



NEW BEDDING ROSE, 



The Baby Rambler, 



or Everblooming 



Dwarf Crimson Rambler. 



(Mme. Norbert Levavasseur.) 



This is without question the most important adtli- 

 tioii to our list of bedding Roses for many years, and 

 one which seems destined to become the leading 

 popular bedding variety. 



It is a cross between Crimson Rambler and one of 

 the dwarf Polyantha sorts, producing large trusses of 

 bright crimson flowers similar to the Crimson 

 Rambler, but instead of climbing the plants form 

 dwarf, compact bushes not over 18 inches high, with 

 clean dark green foliage, which is never attacked by 

 disease or insects and is perfectly hardy; but the must 

 unique and novel feature about it is the phenomenal 

 freedom with which it produces its flowers. In this 

 repect it outclasses any Rose of any type known, the 

 plant being never out of bloom from early spring 

 until stopped by hard frost late in the autumn, and 

 if grown indoors it will flower the year round. 

 (See cut.)
