ae meee 
NEw Hysrip-TEAa Rose, DAME EpITH HELEN 
John Russell. A handsome brilliant red Rose; a rich deep 
velvety crimson of very large exhibition type, beautiful both 
in bud as well as in the fully expanded very double flowers. 
Strong vigorous grower, delicately sweet scented. $1.50 each. 
Lady Margaret Stewart. A Rose of unique color, the flowers 
in the young stage are a deep sunflower yellow heavily veined 
splashed with orange-scarlet, reverse of the petals deeply 
suffused with carmine, as the flowers develop these colors inter- 
mingle forming a beautiful cadmium orange effect. The bud is 
long and pointed, opening to a full double flower, of pleasing 
decorative form of delightfully sweet scent. See colored illus- 
tration, page 138. $2.00 each. 
Margaret McGredy. We consider this a masterpiece of 
McGredy & Sons. Large brilliantly-colored double flowers of an 
entrancing shade of rich Oriental red, passing to carmine-rose, 
lasting a long time. The plant is of vigorous bushy habit, very 
free flowering; light spicy fragrance. See colored illustration, 
page 140. $2.00 each. 
Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. One of the finest Roses yet intro- 
duced. We have in this variety a most distinct and valuable 
addition, of a bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of even 
tone that passes to yellow at the base of the petals; this attractive 
color does not tade as the flower ages, but if anything becomes 
richer and brighter. The bud is long pointed and develops into 
a full double flower of model form and substance; very fragrant. 
See colored illustration, page 141. $2.00 each. 
Mrs. Henry Bowles. One of the best bedding varieties grown, 
always in flower and perfect in every stage of development. In | 
color it is of an intense brilliant pink with lighter salmon pink 
shadings. A model rose in every way. See colored illustration, 
page 145. $1.50 each. 
of outstanding merit of recent introduction, and we especially 
recommend this Gold Medal Dozen as 
a desirable up-to-date addition to the 
thousands of our patrons who now have 
the Dreer Dozen growing in their gardens. 
Dame Edith Helen. Perfect buds 
developing into wonderful flowers 
of immense size are produced singly 
on well-foliaged strong canes freely 
throughout the season. The flowers 
are composed of very substantial 
broad petals which curl back prettily 
forming a glorious long pointed bud 
and a full double flower which is 
beautiful in every stage of develop- 
ment. Color a brilliant yet soft 
Rose du Barri pink; strongly sweet- 
scented. $1.50 each. 
Frank Reader. A large massive 
flower with high pointed centre with 
nicely reflexing petals of great sub- 
stance, the long buds in first de- 
veloping are a light lemon-yellow, 
s while the flowers in their half-ex- 
panded form reveal a heart of 
Sai golden apricot; it has a delicious rose 
apple scent. A vigorous grower and 
free bloomer. See colored illustra- 
tion, page 139. $1.50 each. 
Lady Florence Stronge. An entirely 
new, distinct and novel color; a reddish 
prawn to violet old rose shading to yellow 
at the base and pink towards the edge, the 
inner suriace of the petals heavily veined 
and flushed scarlet, the flowers are large, 
full with high centres and fragrant. Vigor- 
ous in growth and free flowering See 
colored illustration, page 138. $1.50 each. 
Rev. F. Page Roberts. A Rose of remarkable beauty both in 
form and color. The long pointed buds are of a coppery-red 
stained red on the outside and open to good full double fragrant 
flowers of a golden-yellow particularly high colored in late sum- 
mer and fall. The plant is of vigorous branching habit with 
beautiful foliage. A most distinct variety that has deservedly 
gained great popularity. $1.50 each. 
Sir David Davis. As this variety has shown up in the fields 
during the past two seasons, we do not hesitate to select it as 
one of the best red bedding Roses. Color, an unfading deep 
glowing crimson of an even shade throughout running to light 
yellow at the base of petals. The flowers are of good size, pointed 
and of good form with large, heavy petals and strongly sweet 
scented. $1.50 each. 
Ville de Paris (City of Paris). A very distinct rich buttercup 
yellow without a trace of any other color, retaining its richness 
under all weather conditions. In formation it is somewhat 
similar to Radiance, fairly double and splendid for cutting. 
Habit upright, and tall, a profuse bloomer. Awarded much- 
coveted Gold Medal at the trials at Bagatelle Rose Gardens, 
Paris, 1925. See colored illustration, page 137. $1.50 each. 
Wilhelm Kordes. Unique and entirely distinct in coloring; a 
rich capucine red with coppery suffusion overlaying a golden- 
salmon ground, varying in intensity under different weather 
conditions, but always beautiful and particularly high colored 
early in the season and in the autumn. The buds are long and 
pointed, opening to double high-centered very fragrant flowers. 
Habit compact but vigorous, very free flowering. See colored 
illustration, page 147. $1.50 each.
