DREER'S GARDEN ROSES 



FOR FALL PLANTING 



Experienced professional growers as well as amateurs who have had experience, are turning more and more each season with greater 

 favor towards fall planting, and we strongly recommend this where careful attention can be given to the simple methods of winter pro- 

 tection recommended in our cultural directions on pages 1 and 2. We are now booking orders for strong two-year-old field-grown dormant 

 plants of the varieties listed on this and the following pages, delivery of which will be made as soon as the plants are properly ripened, 

 usually late in October or early November. 



One of the advantages of getting Roses in a dormant condition is that the plants take up very little room and can be shipped to 

 almost any distance without fear of loss, and at a minimum of cost. These dormant plants can readily be sent by Parcel Post. We will 

 be pleased to deliver prepaid to destination any of the Roses offered. 



EIGHT WONDERFUL NOVELTIES IN HYBRID-TEAS 



«*^e®-' «^w. 





The eight varieties offered under this heading are of such outstanding merit that we are confident that every one of them will quickly 

 find a place in all up-to-date lists. 



Dame Edith Helen (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1926). Awarded 

 Gold Medals by the National Rose Society of England and 

 also at last spring's New York and Philadelphia Flower Shows. 

 We question if any Hybrid-Tea Rose yet introduced promise 

 to be such a valuable addition to our garden Roses as this 

 wonderful new pink variety. The plant possesses a strong, 

 vigorous constitution, the flowers are produced singly on well 

 foliaged strong canes throughout the season, these are of 

 immense size, composed of very substantial broad petals which 

 curl back prettily forming a wonderful long pointed bud which 

 develops into a full double flower, which is absolutely perfect 

 in every stage of development. The color is a brilliant, yet 

 soft Rose du Barri pink and is delightfully and strongly sweet j 

 scented. $2.00 each. 



Mrs. A. R. Barraclough (McGredy & Son, 1927). Un- 

 questionably one of the finest Roses ever sent out and winner 

 of a Gold Medal of the National Rose Society of England. 

 Pink sounds uninteresting in a new Rose, there being so many 

 of this shade, but in this new variety we have a most distinct 

 and valuable addition of a bright but soft sparkling carmine- 

 pink of an even tone passing to yellow at the base of the petals. 

 The color does not fade as the flower ages, but appears to become 

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

 double flower of great size and substance; very fragrant. 

 $2.50 each. 



Lady Margaret Stewart (192 7). Another marvellous intro- 

 duction of Alexander Dickson & Sons awarded the Gold Medal 

 of the National Rose Society of England at the 1926 Spring 

 Show. A Rose of unique and distinct color, the flowers in the 

 young stage are a deep sunflower yellow heavily veined and 

 splashed with orange-scarlet with the reverse of the petals 

 deeply suffused with carmine, as the flowers develop these 

 colors intermingle forming a most beautiful cadmium orange 

 effect. The bud is long and pointed, opening to a full double 

 flower, of most pleasing decorative form of delightfully sweet | 

 scent. $2.00 each. 



Margaret McGredy (McGredy & Son, 1928). Now offered 

 for the first time. This is the third season that we have had 

 this wonderful Rose under observation and we consider it one 

 of McGredy's most brilliantly colored masterpieces, large, 

 beautifully shaped full double flowers, entirely distinct from 

 all others in its rich coloring, which is a brilliant shade of 

 Turkish or Oriental red, passing as the flowers age to a beautiful 

 carmine-rose, these are borne on long stiff stems and hold their 

 form and beauty for a long time. $3.00 each. 



Frank Reader (Verschuren & Sons, 1927). A large massive 

 flower with high pointed centre with nicely reflexing petals of 

 great substance, the long buds in first developing are a light 

 lemon-yellow, while the flowers in their half-expanded form 

 reveal a heart of golden apricot; it has a delicious rose apple 

 scent. $2.00 each. 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mrs. A. R. Barraclough 



J. Otto Thilow (Verschuren & Sons, 1927). This variety 

 of outstanding merit has been named in memory of our late 

 Mr. Thilow. Color a uniform rich, glowing rose-pink. Buds 

 long and pointed of graceful shape, as the flowers expand the 

 petals reflex forming a full double flower of good form and large 

 size. Very free flowering, a grand garden Rose. $1.50 each. 



Mrs. Lovell Swisher (Howard & Smith, 1926). An American 

 raised Rose which has come to stay. It is a remarkably vigorous 

 grower, freely producing perfectly formed long shapely buds 

 with nicely reflexing petals that develop into good double 

 flowers. The color of the buds is a deep coppery salmon at 

 base merging to salmon-pink at the tips. The developed flowers 

 are also salmon-pink deepening toward the centre. Delightfully 

 tea scented. $2.00 each. 



Ville de Paris (Pernet-Ducher, 1926). One of Pernet-Ducher's 

 Gold Medal Roses which award it received in the International 

 trials at the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, in the summer of 1926. 

 It is of a rich buttercup-yellow with long buds and large flowers. 

 The plant is of vigorous growth and very free flowering. $2.00 

 each.
