GENERAL LIST OF DREER'S SELECT 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



Under this heading we offer on this and the five pages following the World's best Hybrid-Tea varieties, all of them sorts 

 which we have had the pleasure of thoroughly testing, and which we fully endorse and recommend to the large and small planter, which 

 together with the Dreer Dozen and the newer sorts offered on pages -4 to 12, forms not the longest list of varieties, but what is un- 

 doubtedly the finest collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose loving American public.

 bedding varieties; large, full globular flowers of bright satiny

 scarlet shaded fiery red changing to dark velvety crimson as
