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 

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

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

 tion, dark green disease-resistant foliage, and a continuous free 

 bloomer; a fine garden Rose. $1.50 each. See illustration, page 

 122. 



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

 tinct and striking variety. The buds are long pointed of perfect 

 shape, opening to high centered double flowers of rich and 

 brilliant Oriental red, flushed with orange and glowing scarlet. 

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

Duchess of Atholl (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The coloring is un- 

 common and delightful; bud large, globular, deep bronzy 

 orange; flower large, double, cupped-form, very lasting, in- 

 tensely fragrant, of a golden orange color flushed old rose and 

 borne singly on long stems; growth vigorous; a free continuous 

 bloomer. $1.50 each. 



E. G. Hill (E. G. Hill Co., 1929). Among the many Roses 

 raised by Mr. Hill we consider this new red variety one of the 

 most valuable. While it has gained great popularity as a winter 

 cut flower, it is equally good for garden purposes, the long 

 buds of perfect form, as well as the high centered full double 

 flowers are of a dazzling scarlet, shading to a deeper pure red as 

 they develop; of strong vigorous and free flowering habit. 

 $1.50 each. See illustration, page 121. 



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 recom- 

 mend 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. 



Impress (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). A novelty whidi 

 on account of its coloring and its perfectly formed ] arge 

 double flower, will please every Rose lover. The ovoid 

 buds when first unfolding are cardinal-red with orange 

 suffusion and develop into very large, full double very 

 perfect blooms that last in good shape and are of a 

 pretty salmon-cerise color suffused with a luminous 

 golden sheen. The plant is a strong vigorous upright 

 grower and exceptionally free flowering. $1.50 each.

Lucie Marie (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). Very long
