18 HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—SELECT ROSES HARDY EVERBLOOMIiNQ HYBRID=TEA ROSES For Garden culture the Hybrid-Tea Roses have now taken the foremost rank. They have been produced by crossing the free- flowering Tea Roses with other varieties, principally of the June-flowering or Hybrid-Perpetuiil class, thus combining not only the free-flowering habit of the Tea Rose with the rich and varied colors of the oiher classes, but also comparative hardiness. The greatest efforts of the world's most noted Rose specialists during; the past quarter of a century have been devoted to the improvement of this type, and the results achieved have been really wonderful. Not only is every color known in Roses now rep- resented, but there are many beautiful shades and color combinations not found in the other kinds. SPECIAL IMPORT OFFER OF Hardy Everblooming Hybrid=Tea Roses While most amateurs prefer to plant our potted R.oses after danger from frost is past in spring, many of the leading rose experts would rather plant newly imported dormant plants in the late autumn. We fully recommend autumn plar^ting, provided the plants are given proper winter protection. In the latitude of Philadelphia we have found that the most satisfactory method ot protection is to draw up a mound of soil 8 to 10 inches high around each plant, and when the surface of the bed is frozen to cover with a few inches of any loose material, such as strawy manure, evergreen boughs or corn stalks, the idea being not to ex- clude the frost, but to prevent the alternate freezing and thawing of the bed, which is so injurious to all plants. As a rule, our main importations of roses do not arrive until December or January, but if you will place your order with us before September 1st, we will arrange to import the necessary number of plants for such advance orders to arrive on or about November 15th, which should be ample time to set out the plants before the ground is closed by frost. We give below and on the page opposite a list of 50 of the very best Hybrid-Tea varieties, from which to make your selection, and offer them at the special import price of 40 cents each, $4.00 per dozen, $30.00 per hundred. The plants being dormant, they can be packed lightly and forwarded to the most distant parts of the country at very little cost for transportation. Chateau De Clos Vougeot. A rich scarlet, shaded fiery red, changing to dark velvety crimson as the flowers expand. Dean Hole. Silvery carmine with salmon shadings; large, full and of fine form. Duchess of Wellington. Intense saffron-yellow stained with deep crimson, changing to a deep cop- pery saffron-yellow as the flowers develop. Etoile de France. Color vivid crimson with darker shadings, fine cupped form, very double and of large size. General Mac Arthur. As an all-round garden Rose, there is no variety of its color—a rich crimson-scarlet —which will give equal satisfaction. George C. Waud. A beautiful variety, possessing an entirely distinct color among Roses—a glowing vermilion with orange-red suffusion. George Dickson. Produces huge blooms of a velvety black scarlet crimson with brilliant scarlet reflexed tips. Grace Molyneux. Creamy-apricot, flesh in the centre, the outer petals when developed are a delicate creamy- white inside, with a faint pink sheen on the reverse. Gruss an TeplitZ. Richest scarlet shading to a velvety- crimson; a free, strong grower and in bloom all the time. Jonkheer J. L. Mock. Of perfect form, of a deep imperial-pink, the outside of the petals silvery-rose white. Killarney. This is perhaps the best known of Dick- son's famous Irish Hybrid Tea Roses. In color it is a sparkling brilliant pink; the blooms are large, the buds long and pointed. Killarney Brilliant. A sport from the original in which we have a Rose far more intense and rich in coloring, it being almost a crimson of a rich glowing shade, and in addition to its rich color it is also larger and more double than its parent. Lady Alice Stanley. A gem that everyone admires; in color it is a beautiful shade of coral-rose, the inside of the petals shading to flesh-pink with deeper flushes. Lady Ashtown. One of the freest-flowering; splendid for cutting; in color a soft rose, shading to yellow at the base of the petals. Lady Plrrie. Deep copper reddish-salmon, inside of petals, apricot-yellow, flushed fawn and copper. Lady Ursula. A truly magnificent Rose; in color a delight- ful shade of flesh pink, distinct from all others.
