DREER'S "PEERLESS" COLLECTION OF 



TWELVE HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



This collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses is made up principally of varieties of comparatively recent introduction. All of them, 

 however, have been thoroughly tested out in our own trial grounds, and are sorts which we can recommend as worthy companions 

 to but entirely distinct from, the popular " Dreer Dozen" offered on page 16'2, and they are especially recommended to such of 

 our friends who have already planted that collection. 



Lady Alice Stanley 



(McGredy. 1909) 

 A gem that everyone admires; it is absolutely perfect in every 

 way; form, color, size, freedom of bloom and fragrance, are all 

 fully developed; in color it is a beautiful shade of coral-rose, the 

 inside of the petals shading to flesh-pink with deeper flushes. 



Lieutenant Chaure 



(Pemet-Ducher, 1907) 



The rich color, a brilliant velvety crimson-red and its beauti- 

 ful long buds, together with its vigorous growth and prolific 

 habit of flowering, makes this one of the most desirable of the 

 high-colored sorts. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 

 100. 



Louise Catherine Breslau 



(Pemet-Ducher, 1912) 



Entirely distinct from all other Roses in color; the buds are 

 coral-red shaded with chrome-yellow, while the expanded flow- 

 ers, which are very large, are of 

 a superb shrimp-pink shaded cop- 

 pery-orange and chrome yellow. 

 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; 

 $60.00 per 100. 



Mme. Edmond 

 Rostand 



(Pemet-Ducher, 1913) 



This beautiful Rose is one of 

 our favorites and might be called 

 an improvement on Prince de 

 Bulgarie, being of more vigorous 

 growth and warmer coloring; a 

 pleasing soft delicate flesh shaded 

 with salmon, and reddish orange- 

 yellow centre, from which it 

 varies considerably under various 

 atmospheric conditions, but it is 

 always beautiful; the flower is 

 large, quite double and globular. 

 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; 

 $60.00 per 100. 



Mme. Edouard Herriot. The Daily Mail Rose 



(Pemet-Ducher, 1914) 



Winner of the Gold Cup, which was offered by the London 

 Daily Mail for the BEST NEW ROSE, exhibited at the In- 

 ternational Horticultural Exhibition, held in London, England, 

 May, 1912; also awarded Gold Medal by the National Rose 

 Society of England, 1913. 



M. Pernet-Ducher describes its color as fellows: "Buds coral- 

 red, shaded with yellow at the base, the open flewers ef medium 

 size, semi-double, are of a superb coral-red, shaded with yellow 

 and bright rosy-gcarlet passing to shrimp- red. 



Mme. Melanie Soupert 



(Pernet-Ducher, 1906) 



For delicacy in coloring it would be difficult to surpass this 

 magnificent semi-double large flowered variety which is especially 

 fine in the bud form; in color a charming pale tint of salmon- 

 yellow with pink and carmine suffusion. 75 cts. each; $7.50 

 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. 



Mme. Ravary 



(Pernet-Ducher, 1900) 



Should be in every collection on account of its distinct color, 

 which is of a rich, deep nankeen-yellow, becoming lighter as the 

 flower expands. The flowers are of splendid form, full, double 

 and very fragrant. 



Mme Segond 'Weber 



(Soupert and Notting, 1908) 



A grand Rose in every way. It is a vigorous grower, free- 

 flowering, large, perfectly formed, cup-shaped, fragrant flowers 

 of marvelous beauty. In color it 

 is of that soft tone of salmon-pink 

 which appeals to everyone. 



Mrs. Arthur 

 Robert Waddell 



(Pemet-Ducher, 1908) 



An attractive colored variety 

 i hat everyone likes, a delicate, 

 soft, rosy-salmon, suffused with a 

 golden sheen; flowers of medium 

 Hze, especially handsome in half- 

 expanded form; a free-flowering 

 garden variety that should be in 

 every collection. 



Pharisaer 



(Hinner, 1903* 

 Exceptionally free-flowering, 

 producing long buds, which open 

 into large, double flowers of a 

 rosy-white, shading to a pretty 

 soft salmon. A fine garden Rose 

 that never disappoints in quality or 

 in quantity. One of the best. 



Sunburst 



(Pernet-Ducher, 1912) 



A superb Rose of a good vigorous habit, flowers of fair size of 

 elongated cup form and fine in the bud or half-open flower, color 

 a rich cadmium-yellow with orange-yellow centre. 



Willowmere 



((Pernet-Ducher. (1914) 

 This splendid Rose is of a coral-red color, suffused with car- 

 mine in the bud state, and opens to a large, full, handiorae 

 flower of a rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the centre and 

 flushed carmine pink towards the edges of the petals. 75 cts. 

 each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100.
