*'THE DREER DOZEN" 



Hardy Everblooming Hybrid=Tea Roses 



This collection of twelve Roses embraces only popular, well-tried varieties, the majority of which are familiar to every lover of 

 the Rose, and is recommended for general planting to the amateur who wishes to limit the number of varieties and who is desirous 

 of a supply of extra choice flowers to cut throughout the summer and fall months. 



For those who wish a greater variety we particularly recommend our "Peerless" collection offered on page 160, and we can 

 also recommend every variety of Hardy Everblooming Hybrid-Tea Roses offered on pages 157 to 165. All of these, with the 

 exception of the 1913 introductions, have undergone a thorough test in our oWn trial grounds, and the novelties are the intrcduc- 

 tions of the most noted specialists, and come to us with such recommendations that we have no hesitancy in endorsing what they 

 say regarding them. 



CAROLINE 



TESTOUT. 



One of the most popular and val- 

 uable bedding varieties; large, full, 

 globular flowers of bright satiny- 

 rose, with brighter centre; very free 

 and fragrant. (Illustrated on plate 

 opposite. ) 



GRUSS AN 



TEPI.IT35. 



This is a Rose for everybody, 

 succeeding under the most ordinary 

 conditions. In color it is of the 

 richest scarlet, shading to a velvety- 

 crimson; very fragrant, a free, strong 

 grower and in bloom all the time. 



JOXKHEER 

 J. I.. MOCK 



Although introduced only 

 four years ago, this beauti- 

 ful Rose has quickly found 

 its place among our best 

 bedding varieties. The 

 flowers, which are pro- 

 duced with the greatest 

 freedom on long, stiff stems, 

 are of large size and of per- 

 fect form, of a deep imperial-pink, the 

 outside of the petals silvery rose-white; 

 highly perfumed. 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA 

 VICTORIA. 



This splendid Rose should be in every 

 collection. In color it is a soft pearly-white, tinted with just 

 enough lemon in the centre to relieve the white; remarkably 

 fragrant, beautifully formed flowers on long, graceful stems; a 

 strong, free, healthy grower, with bold, handsome foliage. 



KII^I^ARNEY. 



This is, perhaps, the best known of Dickson's famous Irish 

 Hybrid-Tea Roses, and is one of the most popular of our garden 

 Roses, and also one of the leading varieties for winter cut flowers. 

 It is perfectly hardy; in growth it is strong and robust, and as 

 free-flowering as any Rose we know. In color it is a sparkling 

 brilliant pink; the blooms are large, the buds long and pointed, 

 the petals very large and of great substance, and just as hand- 

 some in the full-blown flower as in the bud form. (See cut.) 



KONIGIN CAROI^A. 



This variety frequently produces flowers seven inches across 

 and perfect in form, both in bud and when fully expanded. In 

 color a beautiful satiny-rose, with the reverse of the petals sil- 

 very rose; very floriferous and desirable in every way. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose 



KiLLAKNEY. 



I.ADY ASHTO^VN. 



One of the freest-flowering varieties 

 in the collection, and produces perfect 

 blooms under all weather conditions. 

 The flowers are large, double, with 

 high-pointed centre, and are produced 

 on long stems; splendid for cutting; in 

 color a soft rose, shading to yellow at 

 the base of the petals. (Illustrated on 

 plate opposite. ) 



MME. JUI.es 



groi^e;?. 



One of the best; a 

 beautiful satiny china rose 

 color, very bright and at- 

 tractive flowers of good 

 size, very double, of fine 

 form and remarkably free- 

 flowering; a distinct and 

 pretty Rose, which should 

 be planted extensively. 



MME. EEON 

 PAIN. 



Entirely distinct in 

 color, a silvery salmon, 

 with deeper orange-yel- 

 low, shaded-centre, the 

 reverse of the petals being 

 a salraony- pink; flowers 

 large, full and well 

 formed; very free-flower- 

 ing. (Illustrated on plate 

 opposite. ) 



MME. RAVARY. 



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. 



PRINCE DE BUI.GARIE. 



Large, full, double flowers of splendid form, of a silvery flesh 

 color, deepening to the centre, and delicately shaded with 

 salmon-rose, a color combination that pleases everyone. 



VISCOUNTESS FOLKESTONE. 



One of the first Hybrid-Teas introduced, and still the best ot 

 its color, which is a creamy pink, shading deeper at the centre; 

 large, full and very free. 



Price: Any of the above in strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; fo.OO per doz. ; |i40.00 per 100. 

 One each of the " DREER DOZEN," a fine collection, for $5.00.
