SPECIALS IN ROSES 



Hybrid-Tea Rose Los Angeles 



(Howard & Smith 1917). 



This season we have not only a very prime stock of this popular 

 Rose, but also an exceptional large stock, sufficient we believe to 

 take care of all orders which has not been the case in former 

 sessons. Strong 2-year old budded plants 75 cts. each. 



New Hybrid=Tea Rose, William F. Dreer 



(Howard & Smith 1920). 



A beautiful Rose of the same parentage as Los Angeles 

 and which, for delicacy of coloring, is not comparable to 

 any other variety, it reminding one of the del- 

 icate tints of some varieties of water lilies. 

 The flowers, which are similar in shape to Los 

 Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all 

 stages of development, are at their best in the 

 half-expanded flower. These, in expanding, 

 are of a soft silvery-shell-pink. The base of 

 the petals of a rich golden-yellow which at certain stages of 

 development, gives a golden suffusion to the entire flower, this 

 golden suffusion being particularly brilliant early and late in the 

 season. 



Messrs. Henry Morse & Son, Rose Specialists, of Eaton, Eng- 

 land, commenting on this variety, write : " We think you should know 

 our opinion of your wonderful Rose William F. Dreer. We have 

 tested it by the side of seventy other novelties from various raisers 

 all ever the world and we have come to the conclusion that this Rose 

 takes the highest place and is asterling novelty worthy to rank by 

 the side of its relative Los Angeles. We predict a great future for it." 



At the great Scotch Horticultural Show, summer of 1921, Messrs 

 Hugh Dickson, of Belfast, Ireland, were awarded the Gold Medal for 

 a vase of William F. Dreer. 



Price, strong 2^year old budded plants, $1 50 each. 



NEW AMERICAN HYBRID-TEA ROSE 

 WILLIAM F. DREER 



HYBRID-TEA ROSE LOS ANGKLBS 



Hybrid Tea-Rose — Rose Marie. 



(Dorner. 1918). 



Rose Marie was practically lost sight of aa it did not make good 

 as a forcing proposition, fortunately we saw it tried out for out- 

 door planting for which purpose it has proven to be one of the 

 best. It is of a most pleasing shade of clear rose-pink, with ideal 

 long shapely buds which open to a large good formed flower. We 

 consider it among the best of our bedding roses. Strong two-year 

 old budded plants, 75 els. each. 



New Irish Hybrid-Tea Rose. 



Una Wallace (McfJredy, 1921). 



One of McGredy & Sons latest introductions of which we 

 can fully endorse the originator's description, "This Rose 

 created quite a sensation at the National Rose Society's Autumn 

 Show. The color is what we would call an art color, quite distinct 

 from any other Rose, and for effective decorative work it has no 

 equal. It is a beautiful soft even toned cherry-rose without 

 shading. In depth, formation and substance it is faultless, every 

 bloom coming perfect and quite full on long wiry stems. 1 Sweetly 

 perfumed. Strong budded plants, $2.00 each.
