DREER'S SPECIALLY PREPARED 



Roses for the Garden 



While our old customers are familiar with the high grade of Roses which we send out, we wish to direct the attention of those who 

 have never planted our stock, to the manner in which these plants are prepared. All our Roses are field grown, and in fall are carefully 

 dug, planted in pots and stored in cold greenhouses or cold frames, where artificial heat is used only to exclude the most severe frost. 

 Under this treatment the plants develop in a natural way, and are much superior to stock which has been forced in a high temperature 

 into an unnatural and weakened growth. 



Our Roses are all strong two-year-old American-grown, budded or grafted, and while some planters prefer stock grown on their own 

 roots on account of the possibility of budded plants developing wild shoots, this will rarely occur if the deep planting as directed in our 

 cultural notes is followed. Much can be said in favor of budded plants, they being more vigorous, producing finer blooms, coming into 

 bearing sooner, and are as permanent and hardy as those on their own roots, while many of the very finest varieties will not succeed at 

 all when grown on their own roots, and preference is given to budded plants by all who have had e.xperience with the dilTerent classes. 



CTTLTITRAL NOTES.— We have prepared a leaflet which gives concise cultural instructions; copies free on application. We 

 also offer a very good book on their culture, entitled How to grow Roses, price S2.00 per copy postpaid. 



H I dRID- 1 EA ROSEjS Novelties and Recent Introductions 



The newer Roses offered on this and the ne.\t two pages have 

 been selected with great care from the introductions of prominent 

 specialists. We have had the opportunity of testing these new 

 comers, and can vouch for their high quality.

 Mme. Edouard Herriot — coral red shaded with yellow at

 America. Described and offered on page 129. SI. 50 each. 

 Angele Pernet. This novelty is now being distributed 

 simultaneously by Mr. Pernet-Ducher in Europe and 

 by us in the United States and Canada. It is entirely 

 distinct and novel in color, described by the raiser as a 

 \'ivid orange-yellow shaded fiery deep reddish-apricot, 

 but "tango color" we believe describes it better. It is a 

 moderately strong grower producing a long bud opening 

 , to a moderately full, beautiful sweet scented flow^er 



that at once attracts attention. Awarded Gold Medal 

 at the Bagatelle Paris trials in 1924. Stock limited.
