-^THE NEW HYBRID TEA ROSES^ 



The New Hybrid Tea Roses, lately introduced from Europe, are so distinct and beautiful, 

 and are attracting so much attention, that we CLASS them by themselves. These splendid 

 vaiieties represent an entirely NEW AND DISTINCT TYPE OR CLASS OF ROSES, 

 the result of a cross between varieties of the Hybrid Perpetual or Remontant Roses, and the 

 Teas. The great advantage claimed for them is, that they combine the hardiness of the 

 Hybrid Perpetuals, with the constant blooming qualities, rich and delicate coloring, and de- 

 lightful fragrance of the Tea Roses. Most of them are probably hardy in the Middle States, 

 and they are well worthy of extensive and thorough trial by all w^ho love rare and beautiful 

 Roses. We make prices as low as the value and scarcity of the different varieties will permit.
