TEA ROSES 



Tea Roses have always been admired for their delicious 

 fragrance and for their delicacy of coloring, but many of 

 the varieties have now been superseded by the Hybrid-Tea 

 class. The kinds which we list below are the cream of the 

 standard varieties, all of them sorts well worthy of a place 

 alongside of the Hybrid-Tea class. The Tea Roses do 

 not require the severe pruning recommended for the Hybrid- 

 Teas; cut out all thin wood and cut back the stronger shoots 

 to a prominent eye. 



Duchesse de Brabant. An old favorite, probably the 

 most deliciously scented Rose grown ; bright silvery- 

 pink, always in bloom. oOcts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Harry Kirk. A splendid Rose, of free-branching habit, 

 flowering continuously; the blooms are large, of great 

 substance ; the form is perfect, the buds long and ele- 

 gant; color sulphur-yellow, passing to a lighter shade at 

 the edges of the petals. 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



Hugo Roller. Ground color rich lemon-yellow, the 



petals edged and suffused with crimson; flowers of medium size, 

 of good shape, and very freely produced. 75 cts. each; $7.50

 pery shade of apricot-yellow, beautiful in the bud; a strong, 

 vigorous grower and very free-flowering. 60 cts. each; $6.00 

 per doz. . .- 



Lady Plymouth. A most distinct Rose with large, full 

 blooms of a delicate pearly white, faintly flushed with creamy 

 splashes; very prolific; 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.

 buds and flowers in the greatest profusion; color deep rose- 

 pink, inner side of petals silvery-rose; very double and ex-
