The Choicest Hybrid Tea Roses 



THIS 1=^ a comparativelv new class, the result of a union between the Teas and Hybrid PerpetuaLs. 

 In this class will be 'found niaiiv varieties famous for their vigor, profuseness of bloom, brilliancy 

 and exquisite fragiance of flowers. They combine the valuable characteristics of both the Teas 

 and Hvbrid Perpetuals inasmuch as thev bloom freely the first year like an ordinary Ever-blooming Tea 

 Ro=e and from the Hvbrids thev inherit the large, finely formed flowers and pungent fragrance, to- 

 gether with vigor and hardiness. South of Philadelphia they are hardy; in the North they will be bene- 

 fited if given slight protection.
