 EVERBLOOMING HYBRID TEA 



ROSES. 



The hybrid tea Rose, as a class, is receiving more at- 

 tention at the hands of the expert hybridizer than all other 

 classes combined. This is due to the fact, which is be- 

 ing more fully realized each year, that it is the most desir- 

 able type for all purposes, not only for forcing under 

 glass in winter, but for the garden of the amateur in sum- 

 mer, combining comparative hardiness with great florifer- 

 ousness, flowers of good size, an extensive ransje of color 

 and delightful fragrance. The twelve varieties offered on 

 this |)age are among the best of recent introduction. 



Celia. Most .attractive flowers of perfect form, of a 

 bright, satin pink, with deeper centre ; exceptionally free- 

 flowering, equalling, in this respect, such sorts as Killar- 

 ney, Mme. Jules Grolez, etc., and is a most acceptable 

 addition to this class of Roses. Strong two-year-old

flowers of a pleasing brilliant cherry-carmine, which is
