The Dreer "Gold Medal Dozen" 



New Hardy Everblooming Hybrid-Tea Roses 



The wonderful advance made during recent years in this popular 

 type of Rose is well exemplified in this collection of twelve varieties 

 of outstanding merit of recent introduction, and we especially 

 recommend this Gold Medal Dozen as a desirable up-to-date 

 addition to the thousands of our patrons who now have the Dreer 

 Dozen growing in their gardens. 



Lady Margaret Stewart. A Rose of unique color, the flowers 

 in the young stage are a deep sunflower yellow heavily veined, 

 splashed with orange scarlet, reverse of the petals deeply suffused 

 with carmine as the flowers develop these colors intermingle 

 forming a beautiful cadmium orange effect. The bud is long 

 and pointed, opening to a full double flower, of delightfully 

 sweet scent. SI. 50 each. 



Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. A most distinct arid valuable Rose, 

 of a bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of even tone that 

 passes to yellow at the base of the petals; this attractive color 

 does not fade as the flower ages, but if anything becomes richer 

 and brighter. The bud is long pointed and develops into a full 

 double flower of model form, very fragrant. §1.00 each. 



Norman Lambert. A distinct color combination that is novel. 

 The outside of the petals is a deep chrome yellow with a marginal 

 color effect of brilliant orange scarlet merging to an irregular 

 zone of burnt orange, the inside salmon-orange suffused bronze, 

 shading to yellow at the base. The flowers are of medium size 

 and form, delightfully fragrant and free-flowering. A splendid 

 bedder. Sl-50 each. 



Patience. One of the finest Roses of recent introduction. Its 

 splendid long pointed buds are of a deep scarlet carmine opening 

 to large fragrant double perfect blooms that shade from orange 

 at the base of the petals to rich carmine at the edges. It is free 

 flowering for a Rose of its large size. §1.50 each. 



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 

 summer and fall. §1.50 each. 



New Hybru>-Tea Rose, Charles P. Kilham 



Charles P. Kilham. A brilliant, distinct and striking novelty. 

 The buds are long pointed of perfect shape, opening to high 

 centered double flowers of rich and brilliant Oriental red, flushed 

 with orange and glowing scarlet. A vigorous grower; very free 

 flowering and sweetly tea-scented. $1.50 each. 



Dame Edith Helen. Perfect buds developing into wonderful 

 flowers of immense size are produced singly on weU-foliaged 

 strong canes. The flowers are composed of very substantial 

 broad petals which curl back prettily forming a glorious long 

 pointed bud and a full double flower which is beautiful in every 

 stage of development. Color a brilliant yet soft Rose du Barri 

 pink; strongly sweet-scented. §1.00 each. 



Duchess of Athol. The coloring of this new varietj' is un- 

 common and delightful, an old golden orange flushed with 

 peach pink, particularly attractive in the bud and open 

 state, growth vigorous, a profuse bloomer. §1.50 each. 



Golden Dawn. A magnificent new Rose with which we have 

 been most favorably impressed, an ideal garden Rose of an 

 exquisite light lemon yellow color. Its buds are of an ovoid 

 form, heavily splashed with crimson before opening and de- 

 velop into splendidly shaped full double moderately fragrant 

 flowers. §1.50 each. 



Julien Potin {The Golden Per net). Unquestionably the 

 most gorgeous and brilliant yellow Rose yet introduced, a 

 rich golden yeUow that grows richer and deeper as the 

 flowers mature. The buds are long and shapely and de- 

 velop into large, full flowers of beautifiil form, delightfully sweet- 

 scented. §1.50 each. 



Lady Florence Stronge. Distinct and novel color; a reddish 

 prawn to violet old rose shading to yellow at the base and pink 

 towards the edge, the inner surface of the petals heavily veined and 

 flushed scarlet, the flowers are large, full with high centres and 

 fragrant. §1.00 each. 



Margaret McGredy. We consider this a masterpiece of McGredy's. 

 Large briUiantly-colored double flowers of an entrancing shade of 

 rich Oriental red, passing to carmine-rose, lasting a long time. Very 

 free flowering; light spicy fragrance. §1.00 each.
