Tea. resembling, however, a Hybrid Tea more than 

 the Tea Rose. It is one of the strongest growing Tea 

 Roses that we have had the pleasure of seeing. The 

 bush is a strong grower, producing a symmetrical 

 form and the greatest quantity of the most perfect 

 flowers we have ever seen. The color is a delicate 

 white and we consider it one of the greatest white 

 Roses grown today; in fact, it is almost as white as 

 the driven snow. Flowers full and double and extraor 

 dinarily good for cutting purposes, whether grown 

 indoors or out in the open ground; very hardy and will 

 thrive in almost any location. Price, first size plants,
