fashion changes with the ages. The rose was the queen of flowers 

 to the ancients, just as it is today; but the rose leads all flowers, 

 on account of its adaptability to every decorative purpose.

HYBRID TEA ROSES 



This is a class of recent creation, embodying the delicate shades 

 and peculiar fragrance possessed by the Tea Roses combined with the 

 vigor and more pronounced pink and crimson shades of color previously 

 confined to the Hybrid Perpetual class. In our opinion the Hybrid 

 Teas will supersede all others because of their superior constitution and 

 marvelously free-flowering qualities. In a sentence, it may be said 

 they combine all the better traits of the two 

 classes from which they sprang, altogether a 

 great advantage. Almost all are highly per- 

 fumed, an attribute absolutely essential to a 

 perfect Rose. They are everbloomers and 

 hardy in all but the most rigorous climate. 



AMERICA (H. T.) — A cross between Premier 

 and Hoosier Beauty. Bud long, pointed; 

 flower immense, very lasting, rose pink, 

 fragrant. Foliage large, dark green. Vigor- 

 ous, very free bloomer. Thornless. Re- 

 sembles Columbia, but superior in color and form of bud. 

 50 cents each; two-year plants, 70 cents each. 

 ANGELUS (H. T.)— Flower large, full (40 to 45 petals), 

 form similar to Premier, but higher center, lasting; white, 

 cream tint at center; fragrant. Foliage dark green, 

 disease-resistant. Vigorous; upright; free bloomer. 

 Similar to Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, but more double; 

 blooms in winter, and keeps longer. 35 cents each; 

 two-year plants, 55 cents each.
