HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA, PA., WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 



New American Hybrid-Tea Roses 



We take pleasure ia ofterine this sterling collection of American novelties; three of them productions by the same erowers who 

 have triven us the Los Aneeles Rose, a variety that has proven itself one of the finest beddine Roses ever raised, and we have every 

 reason to believe that these varieties will prove equally satisfactory. 



Columbia 



(E. G. Hill, 1918). 



This beautiful Rose has not only become one of our most 

 popular winter cut flowers, but has also proven itself one 

 of the best bedding or grarden varieties. It is of strontr, 

 vigorous habit of growth and exceptionally free blooming. 

 The flowers, which are of good size, are perfect in form, 

 both in bud as well as when fully expanded. In color it 

 is of a most pleasing shade of rose-pink and delightfully 

 fragrant 



Strong two-year-old plants. tl.OO each. 



Los Angeles 



NEW AMERICAN HYBRID-TEA ROSE 

 WILLIAM F. DREER 



(Howard & Smith, 1 917) 



In addition to the wonderful reputation that this Rose 

 has made for itself as a bedding proposition during the past 

 four seasons, it has also been awarded the Grand Prize In 

 the Trials at the Bagateiie Qardens In Parii. 



Every plant we sent out of this variety in the past has 

 been a live advertisement, and without any special 

 solicitation we now have more advance orders on file 

 from our retail customers for "Los Angeles" than for any 

 other variety. 



WhUe we have a large supply there will be no surplus 

 and if you intend to catalogue it we would advise you to 

 cover your requirements now. 



The plants which we offer this season are the same 

 class of stock as sent out in the past, being very strong 

 two-year-old, California grown, which will give an 

 abtmdance of bloom this season. Price, tl.OO each. 



Mrs. S. K. Rindge 



(Howard & Smith, 1920). 



This is, undoubtedly, the finest yellow Rose we have. 

 While it in some stages of development, as well as in 

 growth, resembles Golden Emblem, it is a stronger grower, 

 and its rich, chrome-yellow flowers as they mature, 

 become suffused with salmon-pink. 



Strong two-year-old California-grown plants, tl.SO each. 



Miss Lolita Armour 



(Howard & Smith, 1920). 



The unique coloring of this novelty is a combination of colors 

 difficult to describe, and it is absolutely distinct from all other 

 varieties. The flowers are of large size, full double, with petals of 

 great substance. As the flowers expand they develop to a deep, 

 coral-red with a golden, coppery-red suffusion. The base of the 

 petals is of a rich golden-yeUow with coppery-red sheen; delight- 

 fully fragrant. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower and very 

 free-flowering. A Rose for which we predict great popularity. 

 Strong, two-year-old, California-grown plants, $1.50 each. 



Rose Marie 



(Domer, 1918) 



A most pleasing shade of clear rose-pink, with ideal long shapely 

 buds which open to very large flowers of good form. The plant is 

 a strong, vigorous, healthy grower, and remarkably prolific. We 

 consider it the best bedding Rose of its color yet introduced. 

 $1.60 each. 



William F. Dreer 



(Howard & Smith, 1920). 



A beautiful Rose of the same parentage as Los Angeles and 

 which, for delicacy of coloring, is incomparable with any other 

 variety, it reminding one of the delicate tints of some varieties of 

 water lilies. The flowers, which are similar in shape to Los 

 Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all stages of develop- 

 ment, are at their best in the half-expanded flower. These, in ex- 

 panding, are of a delicate, silvery-shell-pink. The base of the 

 petals are of a rich golden-yellow which, at certain stages of 

 development, gives a golden suffusion to the entire flower, this 

 golden suffusion being particularly brilliant early and late in the 

 season. 



Strong two-year-old, California-grown plants, tl.60 each. 



Gorgeous New Climbing Rose, Paul's Scarlet Climber 



This is without question the most important addition to our list of Climbing Roses in many years; no other Rose in any class can 

 compare with it for briUancy of color, which is a vivid scarlet that is maintained without burning or bleaching until the petals fall. 

 The flowers are of medium size, semi-double, very freely produced in clusters of from three to six flowers each on much branched canes, 

 the plants being literally covered with flowers from top to bottom. It is of strong climbing habit and perfectly hardy. This Rose has 

 been most highly commended by the English horticultural press. It was awarded a Gold Medal by the National Rose Society and an 

 award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of England, and was also awarded during the summer of 1918 the much coveted Gold 

 Medal at the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.60 each.
