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



SPECIALS IN ROSES 



Pernet=Ducher's 

 New Yellow Hybrid-Tea Rose (Pemetiana Type). 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet 



In this new variety we undoubtedly have one of Mr. Pernet- 

 Ducher's masterpieces. We are indebted to this veteran French 

 Rose specialist for so many of our important varieties, and the fact 

 that Mr. Pernet-Ducher has selected this variety and named it in 

 memory of his son Claudius who gave his life in the World War 

 is ample evidence of his own estimate of this great Rose. 



We give below Mr. Fernet-Ducher's own description all of which 

 we can indorse from our own observations during the past season. 



" A most vigorous grower of erect branching habit, beautiful 

 brilliant green foliage; few thorns ; long pointed buds of exquisite 

 shape, carried on long stiff stems. Very large full 1 - 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 1he 

 warmest weather. 



It was awarded the Gold Medal at the Bagatelle Garden trials in 

 1920 and in the same year also received the Gold Medal at the Pose 

 show in Paris, and at Antwerp. 



Strong budded plants ready for delivery April 15th, $).50each. 

 The stock is limited and orders will be booked in rotation as 

 received. 



New Rugosa Hybrid Rose 

 F. J. Grootendorst (Grootendorst, 1919). 



This is a new type of Rose which might properly be called a 

 Rugosa Baby Rambler, it being a cross between Rugosa and the 

 crimson Baby Rambler. Imagine a shrub-like Rugosa Rose 

 covered with trusses of crimson Baby Rambler Roses and you will 

 have a fair conception of this new hybrid varietv. It is not a Rose 

 that you want to plant in with your bed of Hybrid-Tea cr Hybrid 

 Perpetual Roses, but is valuable to plant as an isolated specimen 

 or in a mass in a bed in an exposed position or among shrubs in 

 the shrubbery border or use it for an everblooming hedge for 

 which purpose it is admirably adapted. It is absolutely hardy 

 and continues in bloom until late in the fall. 



Strong 2-year old plants, 75 cts. each. 



PERNET-DUCHER'S 



NEW YELLOW 



HYBRID-TEA ROSE 



! SOUVENIR DE CLAUDIUS PERNET 



NEW CLIMBING ROSE PAUL'S SCARLET CLIMBER 



GORGEOUS NEW CLIMBING ROSE 



PAUL'S SCARLET CLIMBER 



This is without question the most important addition to our list 

 of Climbing Roses in many years; no other Rose in any class can 

 compare with it for brilliance of color, which is a vivid scarlet that 

 is maintained without burning or bleaching until the petals fall. 

 The flowers are of medium size, semi-double, very freely produced 

 in clusters of from three to twenty flowers each on much branched 

 canes, the plants being literally covered with flowers from top to 

 bottom. It is of strong climbing habit and perfectly hardy. It 

 was awarded a Gold Medal by the National Rose Society and an 

 award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of England, and 

 was also awarded during the summer of 1918 the much coveted 

 Gold Medal at the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris. 



We have distributed many thousands of Paul's Scarlet Climber, 

 and we have yet to hear from a single person who has been dis- 

 satisfied with it. The price last spring was $2.00 each, but we have 

 prepared an immense stock of it for this season's sale which ena- 

 bles us to offer extra heavy two-year old plants at 75 cts. each. 



New Trailing or Climbing Rose. 

 Max Graf (Bowditch). 



Presumed to be a cross between Rosa Rugosa and Setigera. with 

 large attractive single bright pink flowers not unlike the pink form 

 of Rugosa, but with the petals more crimped which adds to its 

 attractiveness. It makes an excellent climber on pillar rose but it 

 appeals to us more particularly as a ground cover for which pur- 

 pose it is superior to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The glossy 

 foliage resembling Rosa Rugosa is retained very late in the season 

 and is practically immune to mildew, black spot and insects, and 

 is perfectly hardy. For planting on a steep bank or for trailing 

 over a stone wall it has no equal. 



Strong, two-year old plants, 75 cts. each. 



General List of Roses for Out Door Bedding. 



We anticipate to again have ready this spring a good line cf 

 budded Roses established in pots and of exceptional quality for 

 out door bedding such as we supplied to the trade prior to plant 

 import prohibition time. A list of this stock with prices will be 

 ready in April.
