Hybrid Tea Roses 



The Most Desirable of All 



For many years we have had by far the 

 most complete and extensive list of Hybrid 

 Tea Roses in the business, having been 

 the first house to call particular attention 

 to their wonderful value. Ours is the 

 greatest collection in this country. As the 

 new varieties are introduced they are given 

 a trial, and if found wanting in any respect 

 are discarded and not offered to the Rose- 

 growing public until they prove worthy. 

 This excellent class combines the con- 

 tinuous-blooming quality of the Ever- 

 blooming Teas and the sturdy strength of 

 the Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants bloom 

 the first year, like the Teas, bearing large, 

 finely formed flowers of a wondrous range 

 of color, with the fragrance of the June 

 Roses. They are especially valuable to 

 Northern planters because they stand the 

 severest winters with ordinary protection 

 and, of course, luxuriantly in the South. 

 In summer great masses of most beautiful 

 Roses imaginable. Unless a Hybrid Tea 

 Rose bush is grown from the choicest two- 

 eyed cutting — the Dingee method — it will 

 not give satisfaction. All our stock is on its 

 own roots — don't buy the other kind, budded and graf- 

 ted. We offer strong, lusty plants in all sizes and stake 

 our reputation upon their quality. 



^PREMIER — The blooms are immense, often measur- 

 ing 5 and 6 inches across the open flower, buds long,

 RED COLUMBIA— A sport of the great Rose Colum- 

 bia, which has become one of the most popular vari- 

 eties in the cut-flower market, as well as a garden 

 variety. The Red Columbia is not quite as full and 

 double as Columbia, but has the same good qualities 

 in every other respect. Color, a deep brilliant red.

*Mrs. George Shawyer 



This is one of the newer varieties introduced by the 

 growers of Lady Hillingdon. We have not seen a Rose 

 that has met with such universal appreciation by both 

 the amateur and professional grower. The color is very 

 hard to describe, being a shade of brilliant clear rose or 

 bright peach-pink. It is a wonderful grower and 

 bloomer, producing great numbers of strong shoots, 

 each tipped with a bud. These shoots form the stem, 

 from 3 to 4 feet in length. The flowers are very large, 

 well formed and full, petals of good substance. A very 

 fine garden Rose as well as a forcing Rose. 

 *MRS. HUGH DICKSON— A Rose suitable for any 

 purpose, delightfully perfumed, producing its large 

 flowers in great profusion. The petals are large and of 

 excellent substance, and the flowers of superb build, 

 with high-pointed centers, with a beautiful outline. 

 Color, a deep cream, with heavy profusion of orange 

 and apricot. Splendid grower. 

 DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON— A peerless Tea-like 

 Rose, and one of the best in our trial grounds, with 

 beautifully smooth and massive petals. The blooms 

 are very large, full and perfectly formed, with high- 

 pointed center. Very sweetly perfumed. The color, 

 which is very novel, is a dainty, clear rose-madder. 

 The growth is vigorous, erect and of very free-flower- 

 ing habit. Price, first size plants, 35c each, 3 for 

 $1.00 postpaid; two-year-old plants, $1.00; 

 $10.00 per doz. by express collect. 

 WINSOME — Flowers full and double of a deep cherry 

 rose. Splendid grower thriving in any soil and location. 

 Magnificent foliage. Free bloomer and hardy any- 

 where. Price, first size plants, 35c each, 3 for $1.00; 

 two-year-old plants, $1.00 by express collect.
