DREER’S SELECT LIST OF 
HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
Under this heading we offer on this and the following three pages the World’s best introductions of Hybrid-Tea varie- 
ties prior to the year 1914, all of them sorts which we have had the pleasure of thoroughly testing in our own trial grounds, 
and which we can fully endorse and recommend to the large and small planter, and which, together with the novelties of 1914 to 
1917, which are offered on pages 172 to 178, andour ‘‘ Dreer Dozen ’’ and‘‘ Peerless ’’Collections of Special Sorts offered on pages 
179 and 180, form what is undoubtedly the finest and most exten- 
sive collection of Hybrid=Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose 
loving American public. 
Antoine Rivorie (Pernet-Ducher, 1896). An ideal bedding Rose of 
large size, exquisite form and coloring, which is soft peach-flesh with 
deeper shadings; the base of the petals yellow. 
Arthur R. Goodwin (Pernet-Ducher, 1909). A beautifully 
rich-colored coppery-orange; ‘‘gold of ophir,”’ a visitor to our 
trial grounds very correctly called it who saw it in one of its | 
stages of development; as the flower matures it opens to a soft 
salmon-pink; a good, full flower, very free and distinct. 
Belle Siebrecht, or Mrs. W. J. Grant (Dickson & 
Sons, 1895). A superb Rose of a brilliant pink color; 
the sweetly-perfumed flowers are large, of good form; 
buds long and tapering. 
Betty (Dickson & Sons, 1905). Early in the season this is 
a disappointment in the first flowers which it opens, but 
after it becomes established it produces blooms of marvel- 
ous beauty, particularly so in the autumn. The plant 
is a strong, vigorous grower, producing in great profusion 
its large, deliciously-scented flowers, which are of a 
glowing coppery-rose color, suffused with a golden sheen. 
Dean Hole (Dickson & Son, 1904). Silvery-carmine with salmon- 
shadings; large, full, of fine form and very fragrant; a variety of ae 
great excellence. ha ~ :

ArTHUR R. Goopwin 
Duchess of Sutherland (Dickson & Sons, 1912). A 
strikingly beautiful Rose of decided merit. The 
blooms are freely produced and are carried on rigid 
stems; they are large, full and conical, with a de- 
lightful sweet-briar perfume,’ The color is novel, a 
delicate warm rose-pink with lemon shading on the 
white base. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 
Duchess of Westminster (Dickson & Sons, 1911). 
A peerless Tea-like Rose with beautiful smooth and 
massive petals. The blooms are very large, full and 
perfectly formed, with high pointed centre. Very 
sweetly perfumed. The color, which is very novel, 
is a dainty clear rose-madder. The growth is vigor- 
ous, erect and of very free-flowering habit. A gor- 
geous and absolutely distinct Rose. 75 cts. each; 
$7.50 per doz. 
Earl of Warwick (Paul & Son, 1904). A magnifi- 
cent Rose and entirely distinct from all other varie- 
ties. The flowers are large and full, of beautiful 
form and come perfect throughout the season under 
all weather conditions. In color it is a soft salmon- 
pink, shaded in the centre with vermilion, 
Ecarlate (Boytard, 1907). Produces only medium- 
sized flowers, but is such a brilliant scarlet in color 
and such an incessant bloomer that it pleases every- 
body, and we count it among the best bedding 
varieties. 
Price. Any of the above, except where noted, 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz.; $45.00 per 100.
