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. Vigorous in growth and free | 
flowering. $1.00 each. 
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 inter- 
mingle forming a beautiful cadmium orange effect. The bud is 
long and pointed, opening to a full double flower, of pleasing 
decorative form of delightfully sweet scent. $1.50 each. 
Margaret McGredy. We consider this a masterpiece of 
McGredy & Sons. Large brilliantly-colored double flowers of an 
entrancing shade of rich Oriental red, passing to carmine-rose, 
lasting a long time. The plant is of vigorous bushy habit, very 
free flowering; light spicy fragrance. $1.00 each. 
Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. One of the finest Roses yet intro- 
duced. We have in this variety a most distinct and valuable 
addition, 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 and substance; very fragrant. 
$1.00 each. 
Mrs. Henry Bowles.

shadings. A model rose in every way. $1.00 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 sum- 
mer and fall. The plant is of vigorous branching habit with 
beautiful foliage. A most distinct variety that has deservedly 
gained great popularity. $1.50 each.

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. 
Dame Edith Helen. Perfect buds 
developing into wonderful flowers 
of immense size are produced singly 
on well-foliaged strong canes freely 
throughout the season. 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 develop- 
ment. Color a brilliant yet soit 
Rose du Barri pink; strongly sweet- 
scented. $1.00 each. 
Frank Reader. A large massive 
flower with high pointed centre with 
nicely reflexing petals of great sub- 
stance, the long buds in first de- 
veloping are a light lemon-yellow, 
while the flowers in their half-ex- 
panded form reveal a heart of 
golden apricot; it has a delicious rose 
apple scent. A vigorous grower and 
free bloomer. $1.00 each. 
Sir David Davis. We do not hesitate to select this as one of the 
best red bedding Roses. Color, an unfading deep glowing crim- 
son 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 sirongly sweet scented. 
$1.00 each. 
Talisman. This new American Rose, originated by the Mont- 
gomery Co., created a sensation at all the shows where it was 
exhibited during the past two years and was awarded Gold 
Medals by the American Rose Society at the National Flower 
Show at Louisville, Ky., as well as at the International Flower 
Show at New York, where it was also honored with the President 
Coolidge Horticultural Gold Medal. It is the most remarkable 
piece of coloring that we know in any Rose; a combination of 
shadings of gold, apricot, yellow and deep pink or old-rose. The 
outside of the petals is bright yellow, gold, and pink; as the 
flower develops and the petals unfold they become bright apri- 
cot, gold, deep rose-pink or old-rose and unlike most Roses the 
color becomes brighter as the flowers develop. The bud is long, 
perfectly formed, averaging about 25 to 28 petals, the plant is a 
strong vigorous grower with glossy green foliage and free 
flowering. $2.00 each. 
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 upright, and tall, a profuse bloomer. Awarded much- 
coveted Gold Medal at the trials at Bagatelle Rose Gardens, 
Paris, 1925. $1.00 each. 
Wilhelm Kordes. Unique and entirely distinct in coloring; a 
rich capucine red with coppery suffusion overlying a golden- 
salmon ground, varying in intensity under different weather 
conditions, but always beautiful and particularly high colored 
early in the season and in the autumn. The buds are long and 
pointed, opening to double high-centred very fragrant flowers. 
Habit compact but vigorous, very free flowering. $1.50 each. 
We will supply one eitonz two-year-old plant of the above Gold Medal Collection of New Varieties, 
the set of twelve for $12.50 
Prices on dormant Rose plants for delivery in the autumn include free delivery to any Postoffice in the U. S.
