DREER Roses WHOLESALE LIST 35 New Hybrid-Tea Roses and Varieties of Special Merit Dormant Stock for Delivery Winter of 1928-1929 Marlon Cran (McGredy & Sons, 1927). Messrs. McGredy say of this novelty: 'The color combination is the most wonderful we have yet seen in any rose.' In the young stage before the flowers expand the color is deep buttercup-yellow, margined and flushed cerise and rosy-scarlet. As the flower opens the outside of the petals retain their color, while the inner side opens a brilliant geranium scarlet flushed and veiled orange and yellow; as the flowers age the color changes to a deep cerise on bright rosy- scarlet flushed buttercup-yellow. The whole flower glows and has a wonderful sheen and when fully open the color combination is delightful. The flowers are full, of nice form, and medium to fairly large in size. The habit is bushy, free, and upright, making a magnificent bush; one of the freest and r most perpetual flowering garden and bedding roses. Awarded a Certificate of Merit by the National Rose Society of England. $ per 100. Mary Piekford (Howard & Smith, 1926). A novel Rose of merit. In habit of growth, it is strong, vigorous, not unlike Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. Color, an exquisite shade of orange-yellow, stained on the reverse of the outer petals with salmon and salmon blush. S-IO-OO per 100. Mrs. A, R, Barracloiigh. (McGredy & Son, 1927). Un- questionably one of the finest Roses ever sent out and winner of a Gold Medal of the National Rose Society of England. Pink sounds uninteresting in a new Rose, there being so many of this shade, but in this new variety we have a most distinct and valuable addition of a bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of an even shade passing to yellow at the base of the petals. The color does not fade as the flower ages, but appears to become brighter. Th
