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 protection recommended in our cultural leaflet which we mail free on application. 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. 
Our Roses are all strong two-year-old American-grown, budded or grafted, and while some planters prefer stock grown on their own 
roots on account of the possibility of budded plants developing wild shoots, this will rarely occur if the deep planting as directed in our 
cultural netes is followed. Much can be said in favor of budded plants, they being more vigorous, producing finer blooms, coming into 
bearing sooner, and are as permanent and hardy as those on their own roots, while many of the very finest varieties will not succeed at 
all when grown on their own roots, and preference is given to budded plants by all who have had experience with the different classes. 
Free Delivery. We prepay all transportation charges on dormant Roses for fall planting at prices quoted in this catalogue. 
Two Valuable New American is 
Hybrid-Tea Bedding Roses a 
Not sensational novelties, but two splendid bedding roses that 
will take their place along with Red and Pink Radiance as all 
around bedding varieties suited to all parts of the country. 
Mrs. Erskine Pémbroke Thom (Howard & Smith, 1926). 
We are convinced that this is the best yellow bedding rose 
we have today. It is of clean healthy vigorous growth with 
abundant dark bronzy disease-resisting foliage and a con- 
tinuous free bloomer throughout the season. The medium 
sized buds are long and shapely and develop into good sized 
full double very shapely flowers of a rich deep lemon yellow 
sweetly scented. $1.25 each. 
Miss Rowena Thom (Howard & Smith, 1928). In vigorous 
habit of growth, freedom of bloom and in its adaptability to 
varied climatic conditions, this will prove equal to the popular 
Radiance Roses, while its flowers in size and form are equal to 
the best high-class varieties of recent introduction and all of 
which it will outclass in freedom of flowering. Its buds are long 
and shapely, opening to perfect double flowers frequently 5 
inches across of a brilliant rose-pink, the base of the petals hav- 
ing a golden suffusion which as the fragrant flowers unfold, adds 
to the brilliancy of its coloring. $1.50 each. 
New Hysrip-TEA Rose, Mrs. ERSKINE PEMBROKE THOM 
q Three New Single 
.  Hybrid-Polyantha Roses 
Unlike all other single Roses, these new hybrids 
are of very vigorous habit, growing from 2 to 3 feet 
high and are a mass of attractive flowers through- 
out the season. The blooms are about two inches 
or more across, very substantial, borne in branching 
clusters, not only holding their brilliant colors with- 
out fading but last for ten days or more. We 
strongly recommend these hardy bedding varieties, 
they will not disappoint you.
