The American public always has been willing to pay an 
extra premium for new and distinctive patented articles in 
the belief that the originator or inventor is entitled to a 
fair reward for his efforts. 
Dreer’s fully share this viewpoint on all those varieties 
which represent worthwhile improvements in one way or 
another. 
In spite of this conviction, all Dreer-Owned Patented 
Roses in this catalog have been reduced to $1.00 each 
($10.00 per dozen) to make them available to an ever in- 
creasing number of gardeners. Compare this new low price 
with those of most other patented roses on which we do not 
own the rights, and which are priced as much as 50% 
higher than the Dreer patented sorts.

Pink Jewel 


Three Spectacular New 
Polyantha or 
Large-Flowering 


Floribunda Roses 
These three new Polyantha Roses are ideal for mass planting. 
Though the flowers are produced in the greatest abundance 
the individual blooms also are of fine large size. 





18-453 Pink Jewel 
(Kordes, 1940.) A jewel indeed—Arbutus pink shading to 
deep Camellia rose in the center of the densely double large 
blooms. The grace and artistic arrangement of the magnificent 
large flower clusters makes it a peer among the bedding Roses. 
The plants are simply covered with substantial flowers. The 
beauty of the flowers is enhanced by a graceful wave along the 
petal edges. 







18-457 Red Velvet 
(Kordes, 1940.) A spectacular bedding Rose covered with 
great masses of urn-shaped buds opening to well-rounded 
blooms with gracefully waved petal edges. The general color 
effect is that of an intensely vivid crimson lake. The velvety 
finish of the flowers adds to the beauty and richness of the 
color. The outside of the flower petals is deep carmine creating 
a charming color contrast that heightens the effectiveness of 
the display. Vigorous and free blooming. 






18-463 Sunmist 
(Kordes, 1940.) Graceful, pointed buds opening into large, 
fluffy, well-rounded flowers of a clear light sulphur yellow 
shading to mellow canary yellow toward the base of the 
petals. Forms imposing large flower clusters. An outstanding 
bedding Rose that gives a glorious effect particularly if massed 
in beds or borders.
