DREER'S SPECIALLY PREPARED 



Roses for the Garden 



While our old customers are familiar with the high grade of Roses which we send out, we wish to direct 

 the attention of those who have never planted our stock, to the manner in which these plants are prepared. 

 All our Roses are strong two-year-old, field-grown, budded or grafted plants and in fall are carefully dug, 

 planted in pots and stored in cold greenhouses or cold frames, where artificial heat is used only to exclude the 

 most severe frost. During the latter part of March or before the first of April, these potted plants are moved 

 to beds in the open air where they receive no further protection. Under this treatment the plants develop 

 in a natural way and are not only superior to stock which has been developed into full growth under glass, 

 but also better for spring planting, than plants which have been carried in cellars or in cold storage, under 

 any method known to us. 



Dormant plants are supplied until about April 1st after which date potted plants as described above are 



furnished. 



This Year's New Hybrid -Tea Roses 



Novelties and Varieties of Special Merit 

 Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Bloomfleld Flame (Cap. George C. Thomas, Jr., 1930). An 

 interesting novelty with vivid and handsome colored long 

 pointed flame red buds, opening to lasting fragrant flowers of 

 20 to 24 petals which gradually merge from flame red to pink 

 with orange yellow centre. These are borne singly on long 

 stems with abundant glossy dark green bronzy, healthy foliage. 

 $1.50 each. 



Caledonia (Dobbie & Co., 1928). Large, very long pointed 

 conical buds with the edges of the outer petals gracefully rolled 

 back; flowers very large and full double, high centre, slightly 

 fragrant and borne singly on long strong stems. Color, when 

 js> first expanding, slightly lemon tinted, changing to a pure white 

 as the flowers develop. Habit very erect, of vigorous constitu- 

 tion, a continuous free bloomer; a fine garden Rose. $1.50 each. 



Charles P. Kilham (Beckwith & Sons, 1926). A brilliant 

 distinct and striking novelty which will appeal to and please 

 every Rose lover. The buds are long pointed of perfect shape, 

 opening to high centered perfectly formed full double flowers of a 

 rich and brilliant Oriental red, flushed with orange and glowing 

 scarlet. A vigorous grower; very free flowering and sweetly tea- 

 scented. $1.00 each. 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Betty ! 



Abol (F. Evans, 1927). No other white and 

 but very few colored varieties have such a 

 delightful sweet perfume as this free flow- 

 ering white. Before the flowers are fully 

 expanded the centre petals are sometimes 

 lightly tinted pink passing to pure white. 

 A gem with good shapely bud and full 

 double flower produced on long stems. 

 $1.50 each. 



Autumn (L. B. Coddington, 1928). We have been 

 pleased with Autumn in our fields during the 

 past two seasons where its medium sized buds and cupped 

 double flowers on account of their novel coloring, burnt orange 

 streaked with red, have attracted much attention. The plant 

 is of strong growth with healthy foliage, producing its moder- 

 ately fragrant flowers freely. $1.50 each. 



Betty Suttor (McGredy & Son, 1929). Exquisite both in long 

 bud and fully developed, double, delightfully tea scented flower. 

 In color the inside of the petals is of delicate rosy pink, the 

 outside bright rosy pink. As the flower opens there is a delightful 

 reflecting of the petals which enhances the beauty of the pink 

 tones. Growth strong and vigorous; free flowering. $1.50 each.
