TEA-SCENTED ROSES 



The original blush Tea Scented Rose. A variation of the Cnina Rose; was imported from Cnina in 1810. In combination witn the 

 Yellow China, or Tea Rose introduced in 1824, it has been the origin of all the splendid varieties we now possess. Tea Roses are dis- 

 tinguished from others by the delightful fragrance of the flowers and by the delicate shades of yellow, nankeen, salmon, copper, wanting 

 in Hybrid Perpetuals. They bloom in great profusion during the entire summer and autumn, being especially fine during the autumn 

 months. These are ever-bloomers; half hardy 



The "Excelsior" List of Ever-Blooming Roses 



New and Choice for Outdoor Planting or House Culture 



Price, 20 cents each, except where noted; two-year Plants, 40 cents each, except where noted. 



For general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-year-old plants, such as we send by mail, 

 bloom the first and each succeeding year from early spring until severe frosts. Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profusion 

 of flowers, owing to their size. The flowers are noted for their exquisite coloring, and delightful fragrance; hardy everywnere in open 

 ground with protection of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar materials. Plant liberally of one-year-old Roses; the harvest of 

 bloom they give the first year compensates for the trifling outlay. Anyone can succeed with them.
