DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 



THE BEST ROSE OF THE SEASON. 



(HYBRID TEA.) 



We consider this Eose the grandest introduction for many years, either as a Rose for the garden or to force for 

 cut-flowers in the winter. It resembles La France in general appearance, but is larger in size, deeper in color, and of 

 more expanded form. The flowers are of a deep even pink, very large and full, highly perfumed, and in all respects 

 of first quality. The growth of the plant is vigorous, the habit is good, and the flowers, which are thrown up well above 

 the foliage, are produced in extraordinary profusion. We have no hesitation in saying that we believe that this variety 

 will become as popular as its parent, " La France," which at the present time is probably the most fashionable rose. 



Plants ready in March. 50 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz. 



S0UVE^.^R DE WOOTTKN. 



NEW EVER-BLOOMING ROSES. 



SOUVENIR DE WOOTTEN 



This is probably the most vigorous growing and freest 

 flowering Hybrid Tea rose in cultivation ; it is of a bright 

 crimson color somewhat resembling "American Beauty," 

 and as fragrant as La France; it is of strong erect habit 

 and produces almost without exception one or more flowers 

 on every shoot. 



First size, 50 cts. ; $5.00 per doz.

MAD. HOSTE. 



Another grand Tea rose, and a variety that will certainly 

 become one of the standard sorts for forcing ; in color it is 

 of a whitish yellow, with deep buff yellow centre, large 

 and full ; petals are stout, of good substance. 



First size, 50 cts. ; $5.00 per doz.
