Hybrid-Tea Rose. 

 Mme. Jules Bouche 



Betty TJprichard. A pretty combination of colors, inner face 

 of petals delicate salmon-pink to carmine, outside glowing car- 

 mine with coppery sheen and orange suffusion; well-formed 

 medium sized flowers of good substance and sweet scented. 



Duchess of Wellington. Long shapely buds, with petals of 

 great substance, color an intense safiron-yellow stained deep 

 crimson, delightfully fragrant and very free flowering. 



Imperial Potentate. The beautifully-shaped long buds de- 

 velop into large double sweet-scented flowers of glistening rose- 

 pink, with silvery suffusion at base of petals. Growth vigorous, 

 upright and very free flowering. 



Mme. Butterfly. Beautiful buds and flowers, light soft pink 

 tinted yellow at base of petals, very free and highly scented. 



Mme. Edouard Herriot (The Daily Mail Rose). In color its 

 buds are coral-red, shaded with yellow at the base, the open 

 flowers of medium size, semi-double, are of a superb coral-red, 

 shaded with yellow and bright rosy-scarlet passing to shrimp- 

 red. A wonderful color combination. 



Mme. Jules Bouche. While not a pure white, it being at times 

 slightly tinted with blush at the centre, it is to all intents white 

 and without question the best white everblooming bedding 

 Rose yet introduced. The flowers are large, quite double and of 

 splendid form, both in the bud as well as in the fully expanded 

 flower; it is fragrant, a vigorous grower and very free flowering. 



Mrs. Charles Bell. Similar in habit to Radiance with splendid 

 buds and flowers of fine globular form, of a lovely shell-pink 

 color with salmon shadings, sweetly scented. 



Mrs. Henry Bowles. One of the best bedding varieties grown, 

 always in flower and perfect in every stage of development. In 

 color it is of an intense brilliant pink with lighter salmon pink 

 shadings. A model Rose in every way. 



Radiance. An ideal bedding Rose of American origin that con- 

 tinues to produce its large fragrant flowers throughout the 

 most unfavorable hot summer weather when frequently many 

 other varieties fail; in color a brilliant carmine-pink, with 

 salmon-pink and yellow shadings at the base of the petals; 

 truly a Rose for every garden. 



Red Radiance. A counterpart of Radiance from which it is a 

 "sport," possessing all the good traits of that valuable variety 

 but differing in color which is a bright cerise-red. 



THE "DREER DOZEN" 



Hardy Everblooming 

 Hybrid-Tea Roses 



For many years it has been customary for us to offer under this 

 heading only the best and most popular varieties of Hybrid-Tea 

 Roses. The collection offered this season has been carefully re- 

 vised and the selection has been made based on careful observa- 

 tions made in our own trials and in various parts of the country 

 as well as from favorable reports received from satisfied customers. 



We recommend this collection for general planting to the 

 amateur who wishes a limited number of varieties, and who is 

 desirous of a supply of extra choice flowers to cut throughout the 

 season. Those who desire a more extensive collection can select 

 with perfect confidence any variety in our collection of Hybrid- 

 Tea Roses, as offered in our Garden Book for 1930 which will be 

 mailed free on application. 



Sir David Davis. As this variety has shown up in the fields 

 during the past two seasons, we do not hesitate to select it as one 

 of the best red bedding Roses. Color, an unfading deep glowing 

 crimson of an even shade throughout running to light yellow at 

 the base of petals. The flowers are of good size, pointed and of 

 good form with large, heavy petals and strongly sweet scented. 



Ville de Paris (City of Paris). A very distinct rich buttercup 

 yellow without a trace of any other color, retaining its richness 

 under all weather conditions. In formation it is somewhat similar 

 to Radiance, fairly double and splendid for cutting. Habit up- 

 right, and tall, a profuse bloomer. Awarded much-coveted 

 Gold Medal at the trials at Bagatelle Rose Gardens, Paris.
