Hybrid Tea Ooses. 



This small group forms a comparatively new class, the result of a union between the Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals. The 

 different varieties are conspicuous for their vigor of growth, profuseness and brilliancy of bloom as well as their exquisite 

 fragrance ; they flower the first year planted and at intervals throughout the season, and are quite hardy in latitudes south of 

 Philadelphia ; north they will be benefited if given slight protection.

Or Red La France. 



This is a superb new Rose 

 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 sea- 

 son. The flowers are extra large, 



elegant in form, very double and full, and remarkably fragrant ; color bril- 

 liant 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 for 50 cts. ; 7 for $1. 



Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) can be furnished in 

 two-year-old plants at 35 cts. each ; these plants, owing 

 to their size, cannot toe sent by mail, and will be sent by 

 Express at purchaser's expense.
