THE “DREER DOZEN” 
HARDY EVERBLOOMING HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
For many years it has been customary for us to offer under this heading only the very best and most popular, well-tried varieties 
of Hybrid-Tea Roses, with the majority of which every lover of the Rose is familiar. 
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 con- 
fidence any variety in our collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses. There is not one individual sort which we cannot endorse as possessing superior 
merit, all having been thoroughly tested.
