Dreer's Roses 



for the Garden 



Strong, budded, 2 year-old, field-grown plants 



Specially Prepared in Pots for Outdoor Planting 



Dreer's Roses have a world-wide reputation. While our old customers are famihar with their excellent quality 

 we wish to direct the attention of those who have never planted Dreer's Roses to the fact that our special treat- 

 ment of the plants during the wintertime is a most important factor that insures success. Dreer Roses are dug 

 in the fall, planted in pots, and stored in cold greenhouses or coldframes where artificial heat is used only to exclude 

 severe frost. During the latter part of March these potted plants are moved to the open where they will start 

 into growth in a natural manner.
