12 Grand Hardy Everblooming Hybrid=Tea Roses. 
This collection of Roses embraces the most popular of the Hybrid-Tea type, several of them, varieties with which every lover of 
Roses is familiar, and all of them thoroughly tested sorts which have been found most satisfactory for outdoor planting. 
They combine, in a large degree, the hardiness of the Hybrid Perpetual class with the free-flowering qualities of the Tea Roses, 
and withstand the winter with little or no protection. 
We especially recommend this collection of Roses to those who wish a supply of extra choice flowers for cutting throughout the 
summer and fall months. 
For those who wish a greater variety we can recommend any of the General Collection offered on this page, and the newer sorts 
offered on pages 162 to 164, every one being a gem in its own peculiar color or form,

quisite form and coloring, which is soft peach-flesh with deeper 
shadings; the base of the petals yellow.

place so quickly as Killarney. Itis one of the most popular

petals very large and of great substance, and just as handsome 
in the full-blown flower asin the bud form. Illustrated on

beautiful flowers of carmine-rose, shaded with salmon.
