GENERAL LIST OF DREER'S SELECT 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



Under this heading we offer on this and the three pages following the World's best Hybrid-Tea varieties, all of them sorts 

 which we have had the pleasure of thoroughly testing, and which we fully endorse and recommend to the large and small planter, which 

 together with the Dreer Dozen and the newer sorts offered on pages 120 to 122, and 127 to 129, forms not the longest list of varie- 

 ties, but what is undoubtedly the finest collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose loving American public. 



Admiral Ward. A splendid crimson-red, shaded fiery red; it has 

 large globular flowers with curved petals; its growth is vigorous; 

 of desirable spreading habit, with healthy bronzy-green foliage.

 large, well-formed double flowers, long shapely buds carried on 

 long stiff stems, in color a delicate satiny rose-tinted white.

Arthur R. Goodwin. A beautiful rich-colored coppery- 

 orange; "gold of ophir," as a visitor to our trial grounds 

 very correctly caDed 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, sweetly scented, free and distinct.

 the autumn. Its large, deliciously-scented flowers aie of a glowing 

 coppery-rose color, suffused with a golden sheen.

 blooming. The flowers, of good size, are perfect in form, both in 

 bud as well as when fully expanded. Color a most pleasing shade 

 of rose-pink and delightfully fragrant.
