EVERBLOOMING. 



This is by far the largest and most desirable class, and 

 includes some of the most lovely and valuable of all 

 Roses. They are exceedingly easy to grow, beginning 

 to bloom almost as soon as planted and continue in in- 

 creasing profusion during the whole summer. Almost 

 all of them are delightfully tea-scented and are noted 

 for theii' lovely soft yet bright coloring, embracing ex- 

 quisite shades of yellow, fawn and cream. They are 

 less hardy than other classes and require protection at 

 the North in winter. The following list includes the 

 finest and most desirable varieties of Teas, which have 

 been thoroughly tested as to their adaptability for out- 

 door culture. The wealth of bloom which they pro- 

 duce as soon as established is ample reward for the small 

 outlay necessary to plant a bed of them. 



There are few flowers that give such genuine pleas- 

 ure as a bed of Everblooming roses, for in addition to 

 their beauty upon the plants they are the best of all 

 siunmer flowers for cutting. Those wishing plants for 

 memorial use had best plant the hardy varieties offered 

 on the preceding page.
