GENERAL LIST OF DREER’S SELECT 
HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
Under this heading we offer on this and the four pages following the 
World’s best Hybrid-Tea varieties, all of them sorts which we 
have had the pleasure of thoroughly testing, and which we fully endorse 
and recommend to the large and small planter, which together with 
the Dreer Dozen and the newer sorts offered on pages 136 to 142, 
forms not the longest list of varieties, but what is undoubtedly the 
finest collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever offered 
to the Rose loving American public.
