DREER’S MID-SUMMER LIST. 
ROSES FOR FORGING. 
The following is a select list of the most popular forcing varieties. 
Many, if not most, failures are caused through late planting ; 
our patrons the importance of early planting. 
We wish to especially impress upon 
a vigorous young plant set early in the summer being by far preferable to a large plant set in the fall when 
the roots have not snfficient time to establish themselves before the plants are expected to produce a‘erop of 
bloom.

An excellent rose for forcing 
or open air. The Howers are very double, of a deep 
crimson color, and very fragrant. 
Bon Silene. Brilliant 
known favorite. 
American Beauty. 
carmine rose; a well 
Catherine Mermet. Brizht flesh color, full and 
beautiful ; one of the most lovely of its color. 
Duchess of Albany. Resembles La France in 
general appearance, but is larger in size, deeper 
in color, and of more expanded form. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. 
desirable Roses of recent introduction. The 
flowers, which are produced in the greatest pro- 
fusion, are of large size, of a creamy white color, 
shading deeper towards the centre. It is a strong 
healthy grower, with fine foliage, and will undoubt- 
edly become popular both as a bedding variety 
and for forcing under glass. 
La France. 
all roses. 
Splendid satin rose, the sweetest of 
| Papa Gontier. 
The Bridesmaid. 
One of the most | 
Madame de Watteville. Creamy white, each | 
petal bordered light rose likea tulip, a lovely color 
and shape. 
Maman Cochet. Probably the finest new rose 
of the season ; the growth is vigorous, with rich, 
healthy foliage and extra large flowers, which are 
borne on long, stout stems, very double and simply 
exquisite when in bud or half blown; the color 
is a deep rose pink, the inner side of petals silvery 
rose. This variety will undoubtedly become very 
popular. 
Madame Cusin. Flowers of medium size, of a 
rosy purple color, base of petals and centre of 
flower almost white, one of the prettiest roses 
grown. 
Mme. Caroline Testout. Another charming 
novelty in a strong growing Hybrid Tea. The 
bloom is large and double; color bright satiny 
pink, with rosy centre. Odorous, and quite free 
flowering. Petals very large and heavy, and 
beautifully rounded. A first-rate variety for fore- 
ing, of the La France type. 
Meteor. A rich, dark velvety-crimson Hybrid 
Tea ; a free bloomer and vigorous grower, showing 
no tendency to mildew. Does not run single 
during summer, and as a garden rose it will prove 
invaluable. We cannot recommend it as a good 
forcing variety. 
Niphetos. Pure white, full, fragrant, magnolia- 
like petals ; a general favorite. 
Exceedingly free flowering ; one 
of the finest roses either for out-of-door or for 
winter forcing. The blooms are large and long 
and of a dark carmine crimson. 
Perle des Jardins. Beautiful rich yellow, of 
large size and perfect form. 
Souvenir de Wootton. Of a bright crimson 
color, somewhat resembling ‘‘American Beauty,”’ 
and as fragrant as La France ; it is of strong erect 
habit and produces almost without exception one 
or more flowers on each shoot. 
Sunset. Of largesize and perfect shape ; it is of a 
rich shade of saffron and orange. 
The Bride. A lovely pure white rose of the Mer- 
met type; itis very full and double, free-flowering 
and excellent either for forcing or for summer 
planting. 
A most desirable sport from 
Catherine Mermet, of a richer, darker color than 
its parent, and a most desirable acquisition. Will 
undoubtedly become one of the most popular forc- 
ing Roses. 
White ‘‘La France.’”’ A sport from that 
grand Rose ‘‘ La France,’’ with which it is iden- 
tical in every way except in color, which is of a 
delicate blush in the centre, growing lighter and 
lighter to almost a pure white at the edges. A 
most exquisite variety.
