THE “DREER DOZEN” 
HARDY EVERBLOOMING HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
For many years it has been customary for us to offer under this heading only the very best and most popular, well-tried varie- 
ties of Hybrid-Tea Roses, with the majority of which every lover of the Rose is familiar. 
We recommend this collection for general planting to the amateur who wishes a limited number of varieties, and who is desirous 
of a supply of extra choice flowers to cut throughout the summer and fall months. Those who desire a more extensive collection 
should include Dreer’s ‘‘ Peerless’? Twelve offered on page 152, which we can recommend just as strongly; in fact, in our entire 
collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses offered on pages 145 to 156 there is not one individual sort which we cannot endorse as possessing 
superior merit, all having been thoroughly tested in our own trial grounds.

(Croibier, 1911) 
While not a pure white, it 
being at times slightly tinted 
with blush on the reverse of 
the petals, we consider it one

petals of great substance, de- 
lighttully fragrant and very free-
