Dreer's Roses 



for the Garden 



Specially Prepared in Pots for Outdoor Planting 



While our old customers are familiar with the high-grade Roses which we send out we wish to 

 direct the attention of those who never have planted Dreer's Roses to their superior quality 

 due to the manner in which these plants are prepared which most effectively preserves their 

 full strength and vigor, and insures perfect success with them. 



Why Dreer's Roses are Superior 



All our Roses are strong, budded, two-year-old, field-grown 

 plants, carefully dug in the fall, planted in pots, and stored in 

 cold greenhouses or cold frames where artificial heat is used only 

 to exclude the most severe frost. During the latter part of March 

 these potted plants are moved to beds in the open ground where 

 they receive no further protection. 



Under this treatment the plants develop in a natural way and 

 are not only superior to stock which has been developed into full 

 growth under glass but also are better for spring planting than 

 plants which have been carried over winter in cellars or in cold 

 storage under any method known to us. 



Finest Quality 

 at Reasonable Prices 



The prices at which these Roses are offered are as low as first 

 class stock can be produced. Quality has not been sacrificed to 

 meet the competition of the many low-priced offers which are 

 being broadcast and which in the end must prove disappointing 

 to the gardener who is interested in growing Roses of superior 

 quality. 



Dreer's Roses have the reputation of being the best that it is 

 possible to produce. With reasonable handling by the planter 

 they will give the kind of results every flower lover is looking for.

 Garden Roses," which gives full instructions for planting and care.
