SELECT TEA-SCENTED ROSES. 



Tea Roses have always been admired, particularly for their delicious fragrance and for their extreme delicacy of coloring. The 

 varieties offered are the most suited to our climate. Many will be recognized as old favorites, which are welcome in every 

 garden; with few exceptions, if protected as recommended on page 175, will be found hardy in this latitude; in fact, all of the sorts 

 offered have, with very little protection, withstood the past two winters without any loss in our trial grounds.
