Hybrid Tea Roses 



For many years we have had the most complete stock of this class of Roses in this country, ha^'ing 

 been the first house to devote particular attention to their production, and this year our assortment is 

 greater in number of varieties and better in quality than ever before. This class combines the good points 

 of both the Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals, blooming freelv and without interruption from the first year, like 

 ordinary- Tea Roses, with large, finely formed flowers and delightful fragrance. The range of colors embraces 

 the most delicate and beautiful shades, as well as more pronounced tints. These Roses have constitutions 

 which enable them to stand severe winters w-ith only ordinary protection, and their many other strong 

 points have caused them to take high rank in almost every section of the country. We stake our reputation 

 upon the quality of our goods, — the best in the world.
