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 strong two-year-old, field-grown, budded or grafted plants 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. During the latter part of March or before the first of April, these potted plants are moved 

 to beds in the open air 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 better for spring planting', than plants which have been carried in cellars or in cold storage, under 

 any method known to us. 



REDUCED PRICES. The price of practically all of the Roses offered on the following pages has been 

 reduced in line with the present lower cost of production. Quality has not been sacrificed to meet the com- 

 petition of the many low price offers which are being broadcast. The stock we offer is the best that it is possi- 

 ble to produce and which, with reasonable handling by the planter, will give results. We do not offer dormant 

 plants for delivery after April 10th as we know from many years' experience that such stock planted after 

 the middle of April, under ordinary seasonable weather, will rarely give satisfactory results; normal weather 

 conditions at that time of the year, with their high temperatures, cause such plants to start quickly at the 

 tops without the necessary root action, with the result that but few ever produce satisfactory plants, if they 

 live at all. 



FREE DELIVERY. Orders placed with us for dormant Roses for delivery on or before April 10th, will be delivered charges prepaid 

 to any address in the United States. For planting after April 10th we cannot recommend dormant plants and orders received after 

 that date will be filled with potted stock as described above, on which the buyer pays transportation charges. 



New Hardy Everblooming 

 Climbing Roses ' 



THE NEW DAWN 



THE EVERBLOOMING 



DR. W. VAN FLEET 



The First Plant Patented Under the 

 United States Patent Laws. 



A counterpart of the beautiful, popu- 

 lar, flesh-pink Rose Dr. W. Van Fleet, 

 excepting that it is perpetual flowering 

 throughout the season. 



Patent Number 1, the first patent 

 issued August 18, 1931, under the new 

 'Patent Law has been granted to the originators of The New Dawn Rose , giving 

 them the sole rights for the propagation of this desirable new variety. 



This new Rose is a sport from Dr. Van Fleet which is universally acknowl- 

 edged as the best and most popular American Climbing Rose. This new 

 variety is identical in every way with its parent in size and formation of its 

 long pointed flesh pink buds and double flowers, but blooms continuously 

 throughout the summer and fall months. Really the first worth while Hardy 

 Everblooming Climber introduced. We have distributed many thousands of 

 this everblooming gem since its first introduction in the spring of 1931. A large stock of plants enables us to 

 offer it now at the reduced price of $1.50 each.
