HENRY A. DREER, 714 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Grand New Forcing 



Rose LIBERTY. 



Undoubtedly the finest crimson Rose of modern 

 times, and a grand addition to the Hybrid Tea class. 

 It is of a bright crimson scarlet and surpasses its rival, 

 the well-known Meteor, iu abundance of bloom, size 

 and color, without the slightest tendency of the petal5 

 to blacken, which is so characteristic of this variety, 

 and, most of all, by its exquisite fragrance, a quantity 

 altogether lacking in Meteor. This Rose is particu- 

 larly welcomed by the floral artist by reason of its 

 richness and durability of color, which, combined 

 with its fragrance, fills a long-felt want in this 

 color. The habit of the plant is simply perfec- 

 tion, throwing up strong, stout stems from the 

 base of the plant with an abundance of fine foli- 

 age. It is also constitutionally strong, which, with 

 this tendency to sucker, insures a continuity of 

 bloom. 



We unhesitatingly predict a great future for this 

 Rose, as it has been thoroughly tested by its intro- 

 ducers, who are among the most expert and accom- 

 plished growers in the country. 



Every up-to-date florist should include in his 

 collection this, the most sensational forcing variety 

 yet introduced. The stock is limited, and we advise 

 that orders be placed now.

New Climbing Moss Rose^ 



'"Cumberland Belle." 



The forerunner of a new race of Roses, a grand true climb- 

 ing Moss Rose. It is of American origin, having been found 

 growing in a private garden in the historic Cumberland 

 Valley — a sport from that pretty Moss Rose Princess Ade- 

 laide, itself a strong, vigorous grower, which is wonderfully 

 developed in the offspring, the original sport the first season 

 having attained a height of over fifteen feet and had one hun- 

 dred and eighteen buds and flowers on it at one time. The past 

 season, planted side by side with Crimson Rambler and 

 other rampant growers, it fully equaled them in vigor of 

 growth. In color it is identical to the parent, a bright 

 silvery rose, very double ; the buds nicely mossed and ex- 

 quisitely fragrant. Altogether a most unique and desirable 

 acquisition. 2J in. pots, $2.00 per doz. ; $15.00 per 100. 



New Hybrid Evergreen 



Wichnraiana Roses. 



These pretty hybrids of this most useful Rose are quite 

 hardy and need no protection whatever in winter, and from 

 their trailing habit are admirably adapted for covering 

 rock-work or bare spaces, as well as planting in the border. 

 They are of very free growth, with foliage of a fine deep 

 green, which lasts until well on in the vnnter. The flowers 

 are produced in immense quantities, and last a long time 

 in perfection. Altogether very desirable.
