"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 "Diamond Anniversary " collection offered on page 

 182, and we can also recommend every variety of Hardy Everblooming Hybrid-Tea Roses offered on pages 175 to 181. 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 introductions 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. 



BARE OF 



WARWICK. 



A magnificent Rose and entirely 

 distinct from all other varieties. The 

 flowers are large and full, of beauti- 

 ful form, and come perfect through- 

 out the season under all weather 

 conditions. In color it is a soft 

 salmon-pink, shaded in the centre 

 with vermilion. Illustrated on plate 

 opposite. 



GENERAL 

 Mac ARTHUR. 



As an all-round garden 

 Rose there is no variety 

 of its color — a rich crim- 

 son scarlet — which will 

 give equal satisfaction; 

 its sweetly scented flow- 

 ers, of good, double form, 

 are produced in great 

 profusion even under the most unfavorable 

 weather conditions. 



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. Illustrated on plate opposite. 



KILLARNEY. 



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 handsome in the full-blown flower as in the bud 

 form. ( See cut. ) 



KONIGIN CAROLA. 



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. 



Hyhkid-Tea Rose 



KlI.LAIiNEY. 



LADY ASHTO WN 



One of the freest-flowering varie- 

 ties 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. 



MME. JULES 

 _ GROLEZ. 



One of the best; a 

 beautiful satiny 

 china-rosecolor, very 

 bright and attractive 

 flowers of good size, 

 very double, of fine 

 formand remarkably 

 free-flowering; adis- 

 tinct and pretty 

 Rose, which should 

 be planted exten- 

 sively. 



MME. LEON 

 PAIN. 



Entirely distinct in 

 color, a silvery salmon 

 with deeper orange-yel- 

 low shaded centre, the 

 reverse of the petals be- 

 ing a salmony-pink; 

 flowers large, full and 

 well formed; very free- 

 flowering. 



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. Illustrated on plate opposite. 



PRINCE DE BULGARIE. 



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 th,e first Hybrid-Teas introduced, and still the best of 

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

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