TEA ROSES FOR BEDS 233 



Saf rano, yellow, shaded with apricot ; an old rose, 

 but none the worse for that. 



American Beauty, the rose which created such a 

 furore a few years ago; immense flower; beautiful in 

 bud and when fully expanded ; rich crimson. 



Duchess of Edinburgh, intensely rich crimson; 

 fine. 



Madame Welche, yellow, shaded with copper ; 

 fine. 



Niphetos, pure white; long, pointed buds; excel- 

 lent for cutting before the flowers are open. 



Perle des Jardins, one of the best; almost as 

 desirable as Marechal Niel, which it resembles so 

 closely that it is often sold for it by florists who do 

 not hesitate to deceive a customer for the sake of 

 making a sale ; large ; finely formed ; a profuse bloomer 

 and very sweet. 



Meteor, velvety scarlet; very dark, and delight- 

 fully fragrant. 



Sunset, tawny yellow ; sweet ; a fine rose, resem- 

 bling Perle des Jardins, from which it is a sport, in 

 form and habit. 



Pierre Guillot, dazzling crimson; very fine; large 

 flower; fragrant. 



Vicomtesse de Wautier, rose, tinted with yellow; 

 extra. 



Jules Finger, rosy scarlet, shading to crimson; 

 good bloomer. 



Melville, silvery rose. 



If I were to name all the desirable varieties I 

 might fill several pages with the list. Look over the 

 catalogs of the florists and you will see that the 

 variety is almost endless. If you do not care to invest 

 money enough to secure the newer varieties, tell the 

 dealer to whom you give your patronage what you 

 want the plants for, and he will make a selection
