SELECT TEA-SCENTED ROSES. 



Tea Roses have always been admired, particularly for their delicious fragrance and for their extreme delicacy of coloring. The 

 varieties offered are the most suited to our climate. Many will be recognized as old favorites, which are welcome in every garden; 

 with few exceptions, if protected as recommended on page 174, will be found hardy in this latitude; in fact, all of the sorts offered 



have, with very little protection, withstood the past 



four winters without any loss in our trial grounds. 



Mrs. B. R. Cant. One of the best bedding Roses; 

 a strong, vigorous grower and very free-flowering; 

 large, full flowers, of rich, rosy carmine. 



Papa Gontier. Dark crimson-red, makes a splen- 

 did long bud, elegant for cutting. 



Perle des Jardins. Beautiul rich yellow, of large 

 size and fine form; the finest of its color.
