DREER'S SELECT LIST OF ROSES.

Hardy Hybrid Perpetual 



ROSES 



The list offered comprises all the distinct an'( 



Teally valuable shades. Many sorts have beer 



left out, not because they are of no value, bu 



that the sorts listed are superior in size, hardi 



ness, vigor, productiveness, or some other char 



acteristic that is necessary to make a good Rose 

 Varieties marked with an "*" 



are grown on their own roots. This 



class of stock gives much better 



satisfaction to the general planter 



than budded or grafted plants ; 



however, some of the finest varie- 

 ties will not produce good plants on 



their own roots. In such cases we 



offer the best low-budded stock 



obtainable, preference being given 



to home-grown stock budded on 



Manetti, which is the most desirable 



for our climate. Care should be 



taken in planting budded stock to 



set out deeply, planting them at 



least two inches below the point 



where budded, which prevents the 



stock from suckering to a very great 



extent.
