DREER'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS, ETC. 



"We offer a large and very select assortment of Roses, importing yearly direct from the Euro- 

 pean growers, all the newest and best varieties, and only retaining such as are adapted to our 

 climate, or possess any special merit over varieties already introduced. Nearly all are grown in 

 pots, on their own roots, which renders them much more desirable for sending to a distance, as 

 they retain their ball of roots, and the purchaser runs no risk in transplanting. 



Our collection of Roses has carried off ALL THE FIRST PRIZES for several years past at 

 the Exhibitions of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, viz: at the
