HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 



Gruss an Teplitz 



For intense and dazzling color there 

 is no other rose to compare with this — 

 fiery crimson, shaded with a dark vel- 

 vety sheen. The flowers are large and 

 handsome, produced in continuous pro- 

 fusion throughout the season. Very vig- 

 orous, bushy grower, and because of its 

 strong growing habits it should not be 

 placed with other hybrid teas. Extreme- 

 ly hardy, easy to grow, always in bloom, 

 it is one of the most satisfactory of roses. 

 ^AMERICAN LEGION— The color is 

 a pleasing shade of cerise, which is re- 

 tained until the petals fall. Well form- 

 ed buds, produced on long stems, 

 make it a fine rose for cutting. Heavy. 

 disease resistant foliage, little troubled 

 with insects. Strong grower, and free 

 bloomer. 

 MRS. WAKEFIELD CHRISTIE-MIL- 

 LER — Free bloomer, always loaded with 

 handsome buds and blooms. Buds long 

 and pointed, opening full, double and 

 great size. Color a soft pearly blush 

 shaded salmon. Outside of petals a clear 

 vermilion-rose. 

 *WELLESLEY — A most magnificent gard- 

 en Rose of a beautiful shade of pink, vig- 

 orous, healthy growers; remarkably free- 

 flowering, particularly adapted for out- 

 door culture. 

 METEOR — Very few dark Roses compare 

 with this in richness and depth in color, 

 which is a rich velvety crimson, shading 

 very dark in the depths of the petals.
