GENERAL LIST OF DREER'S SELECT 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



The Roses offered on this and the following pages represent the cream of the novelties of recent years, together with the best standard 

 well tried varieties, all of them sorts that have been thoroughly tested and which we unhesitatingly recommend to the large and small 

 planter; not as the most extensive but what we believe is the fuicsl collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose-loving American 

 public . 



Dame Edith Helen. Perfect buds developing into wonder- 

 ful dowers of immense size are produced singly on well- 

 foliaged strong canes. The flowers are composed of very 

 substantial broad petals which curl back prettily forming a 

 glorious long pointed bud and a full double flower which is 

 beautiful in every stage of development. Color a brilliant 

 yet soft Rose du Barri pink; strongly sweet-scented. 

 Doris Dickson. Exquisitely formed medium-sized flowers, 

 the base color of which is orange cream, but so heavily 

 veined and pencilled with deep brilliant cherry that it is 

 impossible to adequately describe the unique coloring. 

 Growth vigorous, very free flowering and fragrant. 

 Doris Traylor. Very distind in coloring, the long buds 

 orange-cadmium; the outer petals heavily flushed deep 

 orange. As the large flower expands it changes to a deep 

 . amber-yellow. Plant vigorous and free-flowering; delicately 

 scented.
