Hybrid Tea Roses. 



The Hybrid Tea Roses are recommended for their constant bloom, brilliant colors and exquisite fra°rance. 

 Some varieties, such as La France, Duchess of Albany, Meteor, Pierre Guillot, Souvenir de Wootton, etc., 

 are among our best and most satisfactory Roses for general planting indoors, and succeed well in favorable 

 situations in open ground, but are not very hardy, requiring slight protection during Winter months. 



We Offer 20 Varieties of Hybrid Tea Roses. 



Antoine Verdier. — Large, beautiful flowers ; bright 

 glowing pink, beautifully shaded rich crimson, very full and 

 sweet; immense bloomer ; fine for bedding. 15 cts. each. 



Augustine Guinoisseau. — The best recommendation 

 we can give this magnificent new Rose is that it is a pure 

 white La France, having just a breath of rose-tinted blush, 

 delicately clouding the depths of its broad petals ; the buds 

 and flowers are extra large, very full and finely formed, and 

 delightfully, perfumed; it blooms all through the season, and 

 is a Rose that every one would like to have. 25 cts. each.

of Albany, 



Or Red La France. 



This is a superb new Rose re- 

 cently introduced from England, 

 where it originated with Messrs. 

 William Paul & Son, the great 

 Rose growers of Waltham Cross. 

 It resembles La France, but is 

 more vigorous in growth and 

 much deeper in color, hence the 

 name Red La France seems 

 very appropriate. It is a 

 continuous and very free 

 bloomer, producing a great abundance of lovely buds and flowers all through the 

 season. The flowers are extra large, elegant in form, very double and full, and 

 remarkably fragrant; color brilliant rose pink, exquisitely shaded; it is highly 

 recommended as one of the "largest, sweetest and best Roses for general planting, 

 both in open ground and for greenhouse culture ; it belongs to the Hybrid Tea 

 class, but is usually placed with the Hybrid Perpetuals, because it resembles 

 them in form and habit of growth, etc. ; it is reasonably hardy, but should have 

 a good covering of leaves or straw before severe weather. 20 cts. each ; 3 foi 

 50 cts.; 6 for $1.
