DREER'S THREE "IDEAL" IRISH 



Hardy Everblooming Hybrid=Tea Roses. 



(Shown in Colors on the Plate Opposite.) 



The three varieties shown on our color plate this season are all introductions of the celebrated Irish Rosarians, Messrs. Dickson, 

 to whom we are indebted for so many of our good garden varieties. None of them are untried novelties, all having been thoroughly 

 tested in all parts of the country and pronounced "Ideal" in every way, and which we are satisfied will give the same satisfaction 

 as the "Regal" and "International" color plate collections of 191 L and 1912, which are also described on this page. 



DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. 



A grand Rose of the famous Killarney type, but of an entirely distinct color from any Rose now in cultivation, it being of an in- 

 tense saffron-yellow stained with crimson in the first stage, which, as the Mowers develop, changes to a deep, coppery, saffron-yel- 

 low. The flowers, which are fairly full, resemble Killarney in shape, but the petals are larger and of greater substance. Delight- 

 fully fragrant and very free-flowering. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. ; $60.00 per 100. 



MARY, COUNTESS OF ILCHESTER. 



A Rose of the greatest distinction, with vigorous, erect growth and rich deep green foliage. In color a warm crimson-carmine, 

 possessing unusually free and continuous blooming qualities. The flowers are of large si/e, with massive, smooth petals and delight- 

 fully scented. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. 



WILLIAM SHE AN. 



Pure pink in color, with shell-shaped petals of good substance 4 inches long; a glorious Rose of immense size and oerfect form 

 and substance. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $3-5.00 per 100. 



One each of" the Three " Ideal" Irish Roses for $2.00. 



DREER'S THREE "REGAL" 

 HYBRID-TEA ROSES. 



The three truly Regal Roses offered below were shown in 

 colors inour 1912 Garden Book. They are all well-tried sorts, 

 which are giving general satisfaction. 



Laurent Carle. Produces its large, deliciously scented, bril- 

 liant carmine, perfect flowers throughout the season, nearly 

 as good in hot, dry weather as under more favorable weather 

 conditions. The plant is a vigorous grower, and is as hardy as 

 a Hybrid Perpetual. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. 

 each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



Mme. Segond Weber. A grand Rose in every way. It is 

 a vigorous grower, free-flowering, large, perfectly formed, 1 up- 

 shaped, fragrant flowers of marvelous beauty. In color it is 

 of that soft shade of light salmon-pink which appeals to every- 

 one. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per 



doz.; $35.0'i per 100. 



I 

 Marquise de Sinety. Every one who has seen this beauti- 

 ful Rose is enthusiastic over it. The buds are of a rich yellow 

 ochre, suffused with carmine; the expanded flower, which is 

 of good size, is fairly double, of perfect cupped shape, and of 

 a rich golden-yellow or Roman ochre, shaded with bright rosy- 

 red, delightfully fragrant. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 

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



One each of three "Regal" Roses for $1.50. 



DREER'S 

 THREE " INTERNATIONAL" 

 HYBRID-TEA ROSES. 



This trio was illustrated on our colored plate in our 1911 Gar- 

 den Book; each one a perfect gem, and admitted by Rose fan- 

 ciers among the very best of the Hybrid-Tea class. 



fly flaryland. One of the finest American introductions. 

 The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, very free-flowering, 

 every shoot bearing one or more flowers, which are double, of 

 perfect form, of a bright but tender salmon-pink, which 

 lightens up beautifully as the flower expands, strongly and de- 

 lightfully fragrant. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; 

 $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. Few Roses in our trial grounds attract as 

 much attention as this beautiful French introduction, which in 

 color is a distinct shade of Indian-yellow, which, as the flower 

 expands, shades lighter towards the edges, making a splendid 

 color combination, which is more decided in dry than wet 

 weather, the yellow shading sometimes disappearing almost 

 entirely in extended periods of wet, cold weather; one of the 

 freest-flowering varieties in our collection. Strong, two-year- 

 old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



George C. Waud. A beautiful variety from the celebrated 

 Irish growers, Messrs. Dickson, possessing a shade of color 

 hitherto unknown among Roses — a glowing or.-inge-vermilion. 

 The flowers are large, full, and of perfect form, with pointed 

 centre and highly tea-scented. The plant is of vigorous 

 growth and very free- flowering. Strong two-year-old plants, 

 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 

 One each of the three "International" Roses 

 for $1.50.
