DREER^S SELECT ROSES 



Strong Two-Year Old Stock for Your Retail Trade 



The Roses here offered are all field grown plants, the greater part of them have been specially grown 

 for us by Howard & Smith at their San Fernando Nursery, California, and the plants are equal to the best 

 Roses produced anywhere in the Rose growing world today. 



These plants are all potted during December and January, stored in cold houses and cold frames, so 

 that they break away naturally in spring, making this the best possible stock for selling to the retail customer. 



The prices noted are for strong plants in 5 and 6-inch pots (according to the growth of the variety) for 

 delivery during April, May and June, and while we will make shipments earlier if requested, we prefer to book 

 orders for those months only. ^
