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, principaliy of the June-flowering or Hybrid Perpetual classes, thus combining not only 
the free-flowering habit of the Tea Rose with the nch 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. 
We list this season 133 varieties of Hybrid-Tea Roses. These, with the exception of a very few of the latest introductions, 
are all varieties which we have found from actual test in the trials noted above to be sorts of superior merit and especially adapted 
to our climatic conditions, each and every one a pertect gem in its particular color or form. 
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. 
NEW HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
Introductions of 1914 to 1917 
Every season the list of new Roses offered with glowing descriptions grows greater and greater. Necessarily many of these noy- 
elties are either lacking in merit or do not suit our conditions, and with this in mind, it has been our custom to select from these 
novelties only such that we know either from actual trial or from reliable information to be distinct and of superior merit; and while 
we occasionally miss a valuable variety by this careful selection, and in spite of it also occasionally include a sort which on better 
acquaintance is found lacking, such instances, considering the host of novelties offered every season, are comparatively few. 
While the beginner or amateur, who only wants a limited number of varieties, will find just as great pleasure in adding to his 
collection from the older and less expensive varieties offered on pages 179 to 184, we recommend these new sorts for trial to the 
connoiseur who already has an extensive collection, and to those who wish to keep strictly up to date.
