HARDY EVERBLOOMING 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



For garden-culture the Hybrid-Tea Roses have now taken the foremost rank. They have been produced by crossing the free- 

 flowering Tea Roses with other varieties, principally of the June- flowering or Hybrid Perpetual classes, thus combining not only 

 the free-flowering habit of the Tea Rose with the rich and varied colors of the other classes, but also comparative hardiness. 



The greatest efforts of the world's most noted Rose specialists during the past quarter of a century have been devoted to this 

 class of Rose, and the results achieved have been really wonderful. Not only is every color known in Roses now represented, but 

 there are many beautiful shades and color combinations not found in the other types. 



At our Nurseries, Riverton, N.J. , we have trial beds containing more than 500 varieties of Hybrid-Tea Roses alone, embracing 

 all the standard varieties, as well as the latest introductions. An inspection of these is at all times interesting, and especially so 

 during the height of the Rose season, usually from the last week in May until the beginning of July. 



For best results Hybrid-Tea Roses should be severely pruned; the stronger shoots should be cut back to from 8 to 12 inches in 

 height, while all weak, thin wood should be removed entirely.
