Dreer’s Select List of Hybrid-Tea Roses—ovtined 
Gruss an Teplitz (Geschwindt, 1898). This isa Rose for everybody, suc- 
ceeding under the most ordinary conditions. In color it is of the richest 
scarlet shading to a velvety-crimson; very fra- 
grant, a free, strong grower and in bloom all 
the time. | 
Joseph Hill (Pernet-Ducher, 1904). A per- 
fect gem and remarkably free-flowering; in 
color a lovely shade of salmon pink; the per- 
fect flowers are large, full and double. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria (Peter Lambert, 
1891). 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, beauti- 
fully formed flowers on long, graceful stems; 
a strong, free, healthy grower, with bold, 
handsome foliage. 
Killarney (Dickson and Sons, 1898). This is the best 
known of Dickson’s famous Irish Hybrid-Tea Roses, and 
is one of the most popular of our garden Roses. 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. 
Killarney Brilliant (Dickson & Sons, 1914). Killarney 
Brilliant is a sport from the original in which we have a 
Rose far more intense in coloring, it being a rich glowing 
shade of rosy-carmine, and in addition to its rich color it 
Hpi is also larger and more double than its parent. A truly 
ETOILE DE FRANCE 
magnificent Rose. 
Edward Mawley (McGredy, 1911). A beautiful rich crim- 
son, touched with maroon, with a delightful velvety gloss on The ‘“‘ DREER DOZEN’’ HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
the petals, which are large, forming a-good-sized flower with Are as fine a collection as any one could wish; all strictly 
high globular centre. The growth is strong and the very fra- high-grade. Described and offered on page 151. 
grant flowers are borne in profusion. 
Etoile de France (Pernet-Ducher, 1905). Color vivid crim- 
son with darker shadings; very double, of large size and de- 
liciously scented. 
General MacArthur (E. G. Hill, 1905). A well-known 
favorite, and one of the best all-around bedding Roses in our 
collection, it is one of the earliest and most perpetual flower- 
ing sorts; its flowers are of good form, of a warm, rich crim- 
soao-scarlet, and delightfully scented. 
General Superior Arnold Janssen (Leenders, 1912). 
In our trial grounds this variety has shown up most satis- 
factorily; its finely formed long buds are of an ef- 
fective, deep, glowing carmine, and make a splendid 
long-stemmed cut flower. 
George C. Waud (Dickson & Sons, 1908). A 
beautiful variety, possessing an entirely distinct color 
—a glowing vermilion with orange-red suffusion. The 
flowers are large, full, of perfect form and highly 
tea-scented; very free-flowering. 
George Dickson (Dickson & Sons, 1913). One of 
the most brilliant and perfect high colored varieties; 
a velvety black scarlet-crimson with glowing scarlet 
reflexed tips, flowers quite five inches in diameter. 
Unfortunately not a perpetual bloomer, but this is 
offset by the brilliant gorgeous display of deliciously 
fragrant flowers which it furnishes during June, 
equaled by no other sort. Hysrip-Tea Rosz, Generat MacArTHUR
