EVERBLOOMING HYBRID 

 TEA ROSES 



The hardiest and most satisfactory type of i-oses for this 

 latitude. The varieties we offer are the best of their color, and 

 of proved hardiness that will thrive in any ordinary garden 

 soil. 



In pruning out, cut all weak growth and cut back the strong 

 canes to within nine inches of the ground for large flowers, 

 but if quantity is desired, leave the canes two or three feet 

 high according to strength.
