DREER'S SELECT ROSES 



Select Two=year=old stock for your Retail Trade 



The Roses which we here offer are, with few exceptions, field grown stock either American grown or plants that have been 

 imported from England and Ireland. 



These plants are all potted up during December and January, stored in cold houses, 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 and 

 May, and while we will make shipments earlier if requested, we prefer to book orders for these months only. 



New Hybrid=Tea Roses of 1913 and 1914. 



For Descriptions of Novelties Offered Below, See Our Garden Book for 1914. 



All are Supplied fn Strong Two-Year=Old Budded Plants. 



Mme. Edouard Heriot or The Daily Mail Rose. 



( Fernet- Ducher. ) 



Winner of the Gold Cup which was offered by the Daily Mail of 

 London for the Best New Rose exhibited at the International Hor- 

 ticultural Exhibition held in London, England, May, 1912, and to be 

 known as the Daily Mail Rose. In competition with the world's 

 greatest rosarians this much coveted prize was awarded to Pernet- 

 Ducher for this wonderful novelty. It was again exhibited in Lon- 

 don in May, 1913, when it was awarded the National Rose Societies 

 Gold Medal. 



M. Pernet-Ducher describes it as a " strong vigorous grower with 

 bronze foliage, the buds coral-red shaded with yellow at the base, 

 the open flowers of medium size, semi-double, are of a superb coral- 

 red, shaded with yellow and bright rosy-scarlet passing to shrimp- 

 red." An American friend of Pernet-Ducher who had the pleasure 

 of testing it in this country says of it: "A wonderful Rose, the bud 

 is long, slender and pointed, the color is like sunshine on a copper- 

 red metal." 

 Price. $1.50 each. 



George Dickson (Dickson & Sons). 



Messrs. Dickson describe this as the best exhibition Rose that 

 they ever raised, with flowers quite 5 inches in diameter, of globular 

 shape, in color a velvety black scarlet crimson with brilliant scarlet 

 reflexed tips. In our own trial beds we have been more than 

 pleased with this grand Rose, its only fault is that it has not the 

 perpetual flowering habit looked for in a Hybrid Tea Rose, but 

 when one thinks of the brilliant gorgeous display of flowers which 

 it furnishes during June, equalled by no other high colored 

 variety, this one point can be overlooked. Awarded a Gold 

 Medal 1912. 

 Strong plants, $1.00 each.
