New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Duchess of Atholl 



Dreer "Gold Medal Dozen" 



New Hardy Everblooming 

 Hybrid-Tea Roses 



The wonderful advance made during recent j-ears in this 

 popular type of Rose is well exemplified in this collection of 

 twelve varieties of outstanding merit of recent introduc- 

 tion, and we especial]}' recommend this Gold j\ledal Dozen 

 as a desirable up-to-date addition to the thousands of our 

 patrons who now have the Dreer Dozen growing in their 

 gardens. 



Margaret McGredy (McGredj^ & Son, 1928). We con- 

 sider this a masterpiece of McGred3''s. Large brilliantly 

 colored double flowers of an entrancing shade of rich 

 Oriental red, passing to carmine-rose, lasting along time. 

 The plant is of vigorous bush}' habit, very free flowering: 

 light spicy fragrance. SI. 00 each. 



Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem (Vnn Rossem, 1926). A 

 marvelously beautiful Rose with a unique color com- 

 bination not found in any other variety, a most striking 

 blending of dark vivid orange and apricot on a golden 

 jrellow ground with frequentlj- touches of bronze on 

 the reverse of the petals. The sweet-scented flowers are 

 very large, of perfect formation both in the bud as well as 

 in the full}' developed flower and are produced very 

 freely on vigorous upright growths. SI -50 each. 



Mrs. John Bell Qohn Bell, 1928). A Rose of e.Yceptional 

 merit, of a most attractive vivid shade of cochineal car- 

 mine, with large long pointed shapely buds and very 

 large full double cupped shapely fragrant flowers borne 

 singly on good stems. Growth moderate, bushy habit 

 with disease resistant foliage and a profuse bloomer. 

 SI. 50 each. 



Norman Lambert i McGredy & Son, 1928). A distinct color 

 combination that is novel. The outside of the petals is a deep 

 chrome yellow with a marginal color effect of brilliant orange 

 scarlet merging to an irregular zone of burnt orange, the inside 

 salmon-orange suffused bronze, shading to yellow at the base. 

 The flowers are of medium size and form, delightfully fragrant 

 and free-flowering. SI. 00 each. 



Swansdown (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). An ideal white 

 which in the autumn has Just a tint of cream at the base of the 

 petals. The buds are large, very long pointed of perfect shape, 

 composed of large heavy petals and develop into splendid full 

 very sweetly-scented flower of spiral formation. Its growth is 

 vigorous. SI. 50 each. 



Charles P. Kilham (Beckwith & Sons, 1926). A brilliant, dis- 

 tinct and striking novelty. The buds are long pointed of perfect 



shape, opening to high centered double flowers of rich and 



brilliant Oriental red, flushed with orange and glowing scarlet. 



A vigorous grower; very free flowering and sweetly tea-scented. 



SI. 50 each. 

 Duchess of Atholl (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The coloring of this 



new variety is uncommon and delightful, an old golden orange 



flushed with peach pink, particularly attractive in the bud and 



open state, growth vigorous, a continuous profuse bloomer. 



S1.50 each. 

 E. G. Hill (E. G. HiU Co., 1929). Among the many Roses raised by Mr. Hill we 



consider this new red variety one of the most valuable. While it has gained 



great popularit}- as a winter cut flower, it appears equally good for garden pur- 

 poses, the long buds of perfect form, as well as the high centered full double 



flowers are of a dazzling scarlet, shading to a deeper pure recr as they develop; 



of strong vigorous and free flowering habit. SI. 50 each. 

 Golden Dawn (P. Grant, 1929). A magnificent new Rose with which we have 



been most favorably impressed, an ideal garden Rose of an exquisite light 



lemon yellow color. Its buds are of an ovoid form, heavily splashed with 



crimson before opening and develop into splendidly shaped fuU double moder- 

 ately fragrant flowers. SI. SO each. 

 Impress (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). A novelty which on account of its color- 

 ing and its perfectly formed large double flower, will please every Rose lover. 



The ovoid buds when first unfolding are cardinal-red with orange suffusion and 



develop into very large, full double very perfect blooms that last in good shape 



and which are of a pretty salmon-cerise color suffused with a luminous golden 



sheen. Sl-50 each. 

 J. 0. Thornton (Bees, 1926). A most brilliant bright glowing scarlet crimson with buds 



of exquisite form and fine, full, well-shaped high-centered flowers of great substance, borne 



singly on long strong stems; of vigorous, free, growth. It may prove to be our best red 



bedding variety. SI .50 each. 

 Lucie Marie (.\lex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). Very long pointed buds, deep yellow splashed 



with red. As the outer petals unfold, the inner face is yellow with coppery venation with 



the tips of the petals lightly touched with pink, slightly fragrant. It is of strong vigorous 



healthy habit of growth with dark leathery foliage. A most distinct and interesting 



bedding variety. SI. 50 each. Xeiv Hybrid-Tea Rose
