A view in the Dreer Rose Garden 



Dreer's FAMOUS ROSES 



Dreer's Roses, are known the world over for their excellence. 

 They are a most important Dreer specialty with an enviable 

 reputation that reaches well beyond the confines of our country. 

 The difference between Dreer Quality Roses and ordinar\- stock 

 is at once apparent even to one not versed in horticulture because 

 they abound in vigor and have size which is so important to 

 success. All Dreer Roses are strong, fwtted, two-year-old, field 

 grown plants of choicest quality. 



The Dreer ROSE GARDEN 



We wish it were f>ossible for all our customers and others interested in Roses or 

 gardening in general to pay a visit to the Dreer Rose Garden at Riverton, N.J. 

 June is the month to see the garden at its best for then the Hybrid-Tea Roses are in 

 full bloom. Another good time to see the Rose Garden is the two weeks preceding 

 frost which happens with us during the second or third week of October. The 

 beauty of the Rose Garden must be experienced as words are wholly inadequate to 

 describe it. Beds upon beds, made easily accessible by grass walks that run 

 between them, present a colorful picture not to be forgotten. The artistic layout 

 of the garden and the careful arrangement of the colors and hues make an enchant- 

 ing picture. In addition to all first-class varieties the garden includes many so new 

 that they have not yet been named, for the Rose Garden also is our testing plot for 

 new varieties. 



Our efforts to give Rose lovers an ever greater range of beautiful Roses have 

 been well rewarded. Many of the country's outstanding Roses were introduced 

 by Dreer. For 1938, Dreer's Hundredth Anniversary, we present "R. M. S. Queen 

 Mary", a Rose that has received many high honors both at home and abroad. In 

 addition to its value as a garden Rose it has proved its worth as a forcing vari- 

 ety so that its beauty may be enjoyed practically all the year round. .A picture 

 in full color is shown on page 151.
