Dreer’s Roses for 
the Garden 
The bulk of our Roses are field grown in 1917; then carefully 
dug, planted in pots and stored in cold frames. Under this plan 
the stock is strong and ready to start blooming, and much superior 
to stock forced by high temperature. 
The Dreer Dozen Hardy Everblooming 
Hybrid Tea Roses 
will furnish a constant supply of blooms throughout the summer 
w* 
LADY ASHTOWN —Flowers are large, 
double with high-pointed centre, 
produced on long stems. 
LADY URSULA— The flowers pro¬ 
duced on every shoot are very large, 
and a delightful tone of flesh-pink, 
delicately tea-scented. 
LAURENT CARLE —Large, delicious¬ 
ly-scented, brilliant carmine flowers 
throughout the season, nearly as good 
in hot, dry weather as under more 
favorable conditions. 
MME. LEON PAIN -Silvery-salmon, 
with deeper orange-yellow, shaded 
centre, the reverse of the petals be¬ 
ing a salmony-pink; flowers large, 
full and well formed; very free-flow¬ 
ering. 
MME. JULES BOUCHE— While not a 
pure white, it being at times slightly 
tinted with blush on the reverse of 
tile petals, we consider it one of the 
best white bedding Roses ; very free- 
autumn—include the best of every color. 
CAROLINE TESTOUT —One of the most popular 
bedders. Bright satiny-rose, very free and fragrant. 
DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON —Intense saffron-yel¬ 
low stained with deep crimson, changing to a deep 
coppery saffron-yellow. Fragrant and very free- 
flowering. 
ECARLATE —Produces a greater number of flowers 
than any other Hybrid-Tea Rose in our collection; 
the flowers, while not large, are of an intense bril¬ 
liant scarlet color and of perfect form. 
MRS. AARON WARD— A remarkably 
floriferous variety of strong, vigorous, 
but compact growth ; a rich bronzy- 
green color, the flowers, which are of 
splendid form, full double, are equal¬ 
ly attractive when full blown as in 
the bud state; in color a distinct 
Indian-yellow, shading lighter to¬ 
wards the edges. 
MRS. WAKEFIELD CHRIST1E-MIL- 
LER —As a pink bedding Rose there 
is none better, and particularly so for 
and 
massing, the flowers are distinct and 
novel in shape, the petals having 
wavy or crisped edges not unlike a 
Paeony. The flowers, which are of 
large size, remain perfect on the 
bushes for a long time and are pro¬ 
duced very freely; bright pink color 
with lighter shadings. 
OPHELIA —Has made such a record 
for itself that qualifies it to be classed 
with the very best, a Rose that is ad¬ 
mired by everyone, its flowers are 
held erect on long, stiff stems, are of 
perfect form, large size, and of a 
delicate tint of salmon-flesh, shaded 
with rose, very floriferous. 
PRINCE DE BULGARIE— Large full 
double flowers of which are produced 
abundantly throughout the season, a 
good reliable bedder of a silvery flesh 
color, deepening to the centre with 
delicate salmon-rose shadings, a soft 
pleasing color.

that solves the labor problem and at the same time assures 
a perfect lawn at the minimum of expense. That mower is the
