aORQEOUS NEW CLIiMBlNQ ROSE 



PAUL'S SCARLET CLIMBER 



(Illustrated in Colors on the Plate opposite) 



This is without question the most important addition to our list of Climbing Roses in many years; no other Rose in any class 

 can compare with it for brilliancy of color, which is a vivid scarlet that is maintained without burning or bleaching until the petals 

 fall. The flowers are of medium size, semi-double, very freely produced in clusters of from three to six flowers each on much 

 branched canes, the plants being literally covered with flowers from lop to bottom. It is of strong climbing habit and perfectly 

 hardy. This Rose has been most highly commended by the English horticultural press. It was awarded a Gold Medal by the 

 National Rose Society and an award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of England, and was also awardea during the 

 summer of 1918 the much coveted Gold Medal at the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris. Extra strong two-year-old plants, $2.00 each. 



DREER'S SELECT LIST OF 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



Under this heading we offer on this and the five pages following the World's best Hybrid=Tea varieties, all of them sc •. 

 which we have had the pleasure of thoroughly testing, and which we fully endorse and recommend to the large and small pia-^if^r, 

 which, together with the Dretr Dozen and the newer sorts offered on pages 119 and 120, forms not the longest list of varieties, 

 but what is undoubtedly tlie finest collection of Hybrid=Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose loving American public. For 

 best results Hybrid-Tea Roses should be severely pruned; the stronger shoots should be cut back to from 8 to 12 inches in height, 

 while all weak, thin wood should be removed entirely. 



Admiral Ward (Pemet-Ducher, 1915). A -plendid crimson- 

 red, shaded fiery red; it has large globu.- .iowers with 

 curved petals; its growth is vigorous; of desirable spreading 

 habit, with healthy bronzy-green foliage. 



Amalie de Qreiff (P. Lambert, 1914). Destined to become 

 a very popular bedding variety, large, well-formed double 

 flowers, long shapely buds carried on long stiff stems, in color 

 a delicate satiny rose-tinted white. 



Antoine Rivoire (Pemet-Ducher, 1896). An ideal bedding 

 Rose of large size, exquisite form and coloring, which is soft 

 peach- flesh with deeper shadings; the base of the petals yellow. 



Arthur R. Qoodwin (Pernet-Ducher, 1909). A beautiful 

 rich-colored coppery-orange;, "gold of ophir," as a visitor to 

 our trial grounds very correctly called it who saw it in one 

 of its stages of development ; as the flower matures it opens 

 to a soft salmon pink; a good, full flower, very free and 

 distinct. $1.50 each. 



Betty (Dickson & Sons, 1905). Early in the sea- 

 son this is a disappointment in the first flowers 

 which it opens, but after it becomes established it 

 produces blooms of marvellous beauty, particularly 

 so in the autumn. Its large, deliciously-scented 

 flowers are of a glowing coppery-rose color, suffused 

 with a golden sheen. 



Caroline Testout. Described and offered on page 119. 



Chateau de Clos Vougeot (Pemet-Ducher, 1908). An 

 ideal Rose of a dazzling color, being a rich scarlet, shaded 

 fiery red, changing to dark velvety crimson as the flowers 

 expand ; as dark, but richer in color than the popular 

 Hybrid-Perpetual variety Prince Camille de Rohan; it blooms 

 continuously throughout the season. $1.50 each. 



PricCo Strong two-year-old plants of any of the above, ex- 

 cept where noted, $1.00 each; $12.00 per doz. ; $90.00 

 per 100. 



25 or more supplied at the 100 rate. 



Cheerful (McGredy & Son, 1916). Pure orange flame, the 

 flame shading overspreading the petals, giving it a pleasing 

 effect; flowers large, full and good form; very free. $1.50 each. 



Columbia (E. G. Hill, 1918). This beautiful Rose has not 

 only become one of the most popular winter cut flowers, but 

 has also proven itself one of the best bedding or garden varie- 

 ties. It is of strong, vigorous habit of growth and excep- 

 tionally free-blooming. The flowers, which are of good size, 

 are perfect in form, both in bud as well as when fully ex- 

 panded. In color it is a most pleasing sliade of rose-pink and 

 delightfully fragrant. $1.50 each.
