Hybrid Tea. (Boerner.) Long, gracefully furled buds of lemon- 
white, carried on long strong stems. In both bud and open 
stage the flowers are high pointed, showing a full but open 
center when fully expanded. They average 35 to 40 broad 
glossy petals, precisely arranged. The pure white, 5 to 6-inch, 
open blooms hold their firm texture through all kinds of 
weather and enjoy a long life. 
Growth is tall and upright to about 4 feet, with dark, healthy 
foliage. Good strong canes are crowned with bloom clusters all 
through the growing season. The tea fragrance is especially no- 
ticeable and not often found in white roses. A rose for 
remembrance. Plant Pat. 2441. 
$3.90 ea.—3 or more, $3.60 ea.

A 
How To Make Your Cut Roses 
Last Longer 
The best time to cut roses is evening or early 
morning. Cut just above a leaf, taking a stem no 
longer than you really need. Immediately 
plunge the stem (up to the flower head) in warm 
water and let it stand an hour or two. Strip off all 
leaves that would be below water level in the 
container and then arrange the flowers in a bowl 
of cold water.
