HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA, PA., WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 



Meritorious Roses of Recent Introduction— continued 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Souv. de Georges Pcrnet 



Mme. Polncare. A most desirable garden variety 

 which on account of its healthy vigorous growth 

 and free-flowering habit is certain to become popu- 

 lar. Its buds are long and shapely, the attractive 

 flowers are of cupped form and full double. Color, 

 a pretty salmon-pink deepening to an apricot 

 centre. $60.00 per 100. 



Mrs. William C. Egan. An extremely vigorous, strong, 

 healthy grower, with long, pointed buds of abso- 

 lutely perfect form, that develops into flowers of 

 good shape. In color it is a two-tone pink, the re- 

 verse of the petals a soft light pink, the interior 

 deep flesh color with a golden line at the base of 

 the petals; the flowers are carried on long, stiff 

 stems, and last in good condition for an unusually 

 long time, either cut or on the plant; an excep- 

 tionally free and continuous bloomer. $100.00 per 

 100. 



Padre. One of the finest bedding Roses of recent in- 

 troduction. A brilliant coppery-red flushed with 

 yellow at the base, a color combination that appeals 

 to everyone. It is of vigorous habit of growth and 

 will produce more flowers than any other variety 

 of the Hybrid-Tea class. The beautiful long buds 

 are borne on long, stiff stems and are splendid for 

 cutting as well as for garden decoration. $100.00 

 per 100. 



Rev. F. Page Roberts. A Rose of remarkable beauty 

 both in form and color. The long pointed buds are 

 of a coppery-red stained red on the outside, and 

 open to good full double fragrant flowers of a 

 golden-yellow, particularly high colored in late sum- 

 mer and fall. The plant is of vigorous branching 

 habit with beautiful foliage. A most distinct vari- 

 ety that deservedly has gained great popularity in 

 the short period since its introduction. $200.00 per 

 100. 



Sensation. We hesitated to endorse this large red 

 heretofore as ^ve had seen it only under weather 

 conditions which caused the color to purple, but 

 during the past wet, cloudy season it proved to be 

 one of the very desirable varieties. The flowers 

 under these conditions were very large, of full 

 double excellent form, and of a splendid scarlet- 

 crimson color shading much deeper in the autumn. 

 A strong, vigorous grower and very free-flowering. 

 $75.00 per 100. 



Shot Silk. One of the most beautiful of Alex. Dickson 

 & Son's introductions of 1924, which was awarded 

 the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society of 

 England. Color orange-rose, overshot with golden- 

 yellow and flushed soft rose; bud of beautiful shape, 

 the open flowers cupped ■with reflexing outer petals; 

 growth vigorous and free, with beautiful foliage; 

 a sweetly scented Rose of exceptional merit. $100,00 

 pgr 100. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A most vigorous grower 

 of erect branching habit; beautiful, brilliant green 

 foliage; long pointed buds of exquisite shape, car- 

 ried on long, stiff stems. "Very large, full flowers 

 with elongated deep petals, a beautifully formed 

 bloom. Color most striking sunflower-yellow, deeper 

 in the centre, without any color blending, and which 

 is retained without fading even in the warmest 

 weather. No other Rose ever introduced has at- 

 tracted so much attention. $75.00 per 100. 



Souvenir de George Beckwith. A variety that is meet- 

 ing with much favor; flowers very large, globular 

 and full double, with petals of good substance. 

 Color shrimp pink, tinted chrome-yellow, shading . 

 deeper at the base of the petals, the various shades 

 blending very harmoniously; moderately fragrant. 

 $G0.00 per 100. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet. "We have felt enthusiastic 

 about this variety ever since its introduction, and 

 are convinced that it stands at the head of the list 

 of the many valuable garden Roses that have been 

 produced by Mr. Pernet-Ducher. It is a strong, 

 vigorous grower and produces its large flowers 

 which are beautiful in both bud and fully developed 

 bloom, which are of an intense Oriental red, shading 

 to cochineal carmine at the margin of the petals, 

 the whole being suffused with a golden sheen. 

 $G0.00 per 100. 



Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. This Holland introduc- 

 tion of 1924 has, as we anticipated when we first 

 offered it two years since, quickly found its place 

 among the best bedding Roses. In color it is a two- 

 tone yellow, the centre a beautiful apricot-yellow 

 which shades to saffron-yellow at the edges, and 

 while in unfavorable weather it shades lighter, its 

 rich color is maintained better throughout the sea- 

 son than any other pure Hybrid-Tea variety of 

 similar color. $60.00 per 100. 



Sunstar. Has less petalage than desirable but is 

 nevertheless one of the most distinct and attractive 

 varieties in bud form. The buds are exceptionally 

 long and of most desirable form, in color lemon- 

 yellow, edged, splashed and veined with crimson and 

 vermilion in a wonderful medley. The coloring is 

 so unique and pleasing that even if we could only 

 have a few of these beautiful buds in the season we 

 should not wish to be without this novel colored 

 variety. $100.00 per 100. 



The Q.aeen Alexandra. A brilliant flower of intense 

 vermilion, deeply shaded old-gold on reverse of 

 petals, which spring from a pure orange base; one 

 of the most remarkable color combinations seen in 

 Roses. The flowers are quite full and when half- 

 blown are bewildering in their beauty, delightfully 

 sweet scented. $60.00 per 100.
