Hybrid Tea Roses. 



This collection of Roses embraces the best of the Hybrid l 

 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 among the 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, all of them withstanding 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 through- 

 out the summer and fall months. 



I^ll I APlVpV This beautiful Irish Rose was illustrated in colors in our Garden Book for 1905. We distributed 

 ^ ^ many thousands of plants of it, and the numerous reports received show that, with very few exceptions, 



it has given universal satisfaction. Probably no Rose has ever taken such a prominent place so quickly as Killarney, and we feel 

 justified in predicting that it will become not only one of the most popular of our Garden Roses, but that it will also be one of 

 the leading varieties for winter cut flowers. 



It is perfectly hardy in this latitude, having withstood the last two severe winters without protection ; in growth it is strong and 

 robust, and as free-flowering as any Rose we know. In color it is a sparlcling, brilliant, imperial pink; the blooms are large, the 

 buds long and pointed, the petals very large and of great substance, and just as handsome in the full-blown flower as in the bud 

 form. 



Belle Siebrecht. A superb Rose of a brilliant pink color ; 

 the flowers are large, of good form; buds long and tapering, 

 and a most prolific bloomer. 



Bessie Brown. A strong, vigorous grower of erect branching 

 habit, flowering in great profusion from June until frost ; flow- 

 ers of perfect form, large size, of good substance and highly 

 fragrant; color creamy while. 



Captain Christy. Delicate flesh tinted white, deepening 

 toward the centre ; a fine, large, full flower, and large, rich, 

 deep green foliage. 



Caroline TestOUt. Bright satiny rose, with brighter centre, 

 full and globular ; very free and sweet ; one of the most 

 valuable Roses in the collection. 



Ideal. A " sport " from the favorite La France, which it 

 closely resembles in every way except color, which is a bright 

 deep pink, that does not become "washed out " even under 

 the most unfavorable conditions. The plant is a strong, vigor- 

 ous grower, Very free-flowering, flowers of good size and de- 

 liciously scented, and we believe it will become even more 

 popular than its famous parent both as a forcing variety under 

 glass as well as for the Open ground. An ideal Rose in every 

 way. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. Soft pearly-white, tinted with 

 just enough lemon in the centre to relieve the white; remark- 

 ably fragrant, beautifully formed flowers on long, graceful 

 stems; a strong, free, healthy grower, with bold, beautiful 

 foliage. 



La France. An old favorite, and probably the most popular 

 Rose the world over. A model garden Rose in every way ; 

 flowers clear satiny-pink ; large, very full and of perfect form. 



Souvenir de Wootton. A sweetly-scented, finely formed, 

 bright crimson-red ; an excellent bedder. 



VIcountess Folkstone. A large, fiill flower of creamy- 

 pink, shading to deep salmon-pink at the centre ; very 

 floriferous. 



Price: Any of the above in extra selected two-year-old plants, 

 50 cts. each; $5.00per doz ; $35.00 per 100. 



Set of the twelve sorts for $5 00. Good two-year-old plants, 40 

 cts. each ; $4.00 per doz.; |30.00 per 100. Set of 12 sorts, $4.00. 



Qruss an Teplitz. This the reddest of all red Roses is a 

 Rose for everybody, succeeding under the most ordinary con- 

 ditions. In color it is of the richest scarlet, shading to a 

 velvety crimson as the flowers mature ; in size it is larger than 

 Hermosa, very fragrant, a free, strong grower, and a most 

 profuse bloomer, the mass of color produced being phenom- 

 enal ; the foliage is extremely beautiful, all the younger 

 growth being of a bronzy-plum color. 



Helen Gould, or Balduin. An excellent bedding variety, 

 with large, full flowers of fine form, of bright, glowing car- 

 mine; the buds are long and pointed, and sweet as a June 

 Rose; a free and continuous bloomer.
