DREER'S SELECT ROSES 



Strong Two- Year-Old Stock for Your Retail Trade 



The Roses here offered are all field grown plants that have been potted during the winter months and 

 have been stored in cold houses and cold frames so that they break away naturally in spring, making this 

 the best possible stock for selling to the retail customer. 



The prices noted are for strong plants in 5- and 6-inch pots (according to the growth of the variety), 

 for delivery during April, May and June, and while we will make shipments earlier if requested, we prefer 

 to book orders for those months only. 



Note. The prices noted are all given per hundred, but these will apply for any number of plants that 

 may be selected.

 Rose, Olympiad 



OL YMPIAD 



(Mme. Raymond Gaujard) 



One of the late Mr. Pernet-Ducher's 

 seedlings that did not develop its bloom 

 until after this great rosarian passed 

 away in 1929. It was shown in France 

 under the name Mme. Raymond Gaujard, 

 but will now be known as Olympiad 

 which name has been adopted in connec- 

 tion with the International Olympic 

 games which will be neld in California 

 this season, the year of the distribution 

 of this grand new Rose. 



We believe Olympiad to be the sensa- 

 tional Rose of the decade. The color is 

 absolutely unique — a lustrous dark orien- 

 tal scarlet, its depth and warmth ac- 

 centuated by a bright golden base. This 

 richness is further intensified by a mar- 

 velous velvety sheen that renders the 

 flower exceedingly effective especially in 

 artificial light, with a scarlet glow of flame-like brilliancy. The distinctive beauties of Olympiad, con- 

 spicuous though they are, have been found indescribable even by the experts; words cannot convey a true 

 and accurate conception either of its exquisite coloring or its superb form. It is the Rose of supreme love- 

 liness and cannot be visualized but must be seen. 



The bud is long and pointed, the petals are very broad, and the blossom is magnificent in every stage 

 of development. It is long-stemmed, a splendid keeper, and a peerless cut-flower. The plant is amply 

 furnished with healthy, handsome dark-green foliage. 



Stock for this spring's delivery is sold out. we are now booking orders for fall of 1932 at $50.00 per 

 100; $400.00 per 1000, 500 or more supplied at 1000 rates. 



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 moderately 

 fragrant flowers freely. $75.00 per 100. 



Bloomfield Flame (Capt. 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. $60.00 per 100. 



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 constitution, dark green disease- 

 resistant foliage, and a continuous free bloomer; a 

 fine garden Rose. $60.00 per 100. 



Charles P. Kilhani (Beck with & Sons, 1926). A bril- 

 liant distinct and striking novelty which we know 

 will appeal to and please every Rose lover. The 

 buds are long pointed and perfect shape, opening 

 to high centered, perfectly formed, full double flow- 

 ers of a rich and brilliant Oriental red, flushed with 

 orange and glowing scarlet. A vigorous grower; 

 very free flowering and sweetly tea-scented. $60.00 

 per 100.
