TEA ROSES FOR OUTDOOR FLOWERING 



225 



ictually proved to be desirable, having been planted and grown 

 itdoors for a number of years. The florist usually has facilities 

 it enable him to take better care of his stock over Winter than the 

 | mateur, while those growing on plants for the market are generally 

 pcated in sections where mild Winters are the rule. 



At "Egandale," the beautiful estate of Mr. W. G. Egan at High- 

 md Park, Illinois, 290 varieties of Teas and Hybrid Teas were 

 rowing in the open ground in the Spring of 1922, and the following 

 st of thirty varieties was chosen from this assortment. With the 

 [ception of the extreme northern section of the United States, I 

 oubt whether there are any other localities with more severe climatic 

 mditions than prevail in northern Illinois. It is safe to say that 

 ly Rose that does well there, and which, with a little protection, 

 ill pull through Winters when the thermometer is likely to go down 

 20 deg. below zero, will do well elsewhere. 



I have watched the Roses at Egandale and feel satisfied that 

 le following list, compiled by Mr. Egan at my request, consists of 

 arieties all of which belong to the Honor Glass, such as every 

 orist can recommend to his patrons. This is not to say that these 

 the only good sorts; there are plenty of others and some of the 

 excellent varieties, especially such as Columbia, Rutterfly and 

 toosier Beauty, are among them. 



THIRTY ROSES THAT HAVE MADE GOOD 



Mr. Egan says: "The following thirty Tea Roses were planted 

 [arch 31, 1915 at Egandale and were still in good condition in the 

 )ring of 1922 ready to produce their eighth season's blooms. Three 

 lants of each of forty-two varieties were originally planted, and the 

 shows the survivors. The remaining twelve were discarded on 

 >unt of weakness and a tendency to mildew or black spot, or just 

 ;ause they would not do well; some of them would not last over 

 'inter although protected. 



The figures opposite the variety names indicate the average 

 imber of blooms each plant gave in the Summer of 1916:"
