DREER’S SELECT 
TEA ROSES 
Tea Roses have always been admired for their de- 
licious fragrance and for their delicacy of coloring, 
but many of the varieties have now been superseded 
by the Hybrid-Tea class. The kinds which we list 
below are the cream of the standard varieties, all of 
them sorts well worthy of a place alongside of the 
Hybrid-Tea class. The Tea Roses do not require 
the severe pruning recommended for the Hybrid- 
Teas; cut out all thin wood and cut back the stronger 
shoots to a prominent eye. 
Duchesse de Brabant. An old favorite, prob- 
ably the most deliciously scented Rose grown; 
bright silvery-pink, always in bloom. 60 cts. 
each; $6.00 per doz. 
Harry Kirk. A splendid Rose, of free-branching 
habit, flowering continuously; the blooms are large, 
of great substance; the form is perfect, the buds 
long and elegant; color sulphur-yellow, passing to 
a lighter shade at the edges of the petals 75 ct 
each; $7.50 per doz. 
Hugo Roller. Ground color rich lemon-yellow, 
the petals edged and suffused with crimson; flowers 
of medium size, of good shape, and very freely 
produced. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 
Lady Hillingdon. A recent introduction, of a 
beautiful coppery shade of apricat-yellow, beauti- 
ful in the bud; a strong, vigorous grower and very 
free-flowering. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.
