Mine. Butterfly 



Hybrid Tea. All the color tones of Ophelia 

 are intensified, making it a harmony of bright 

 pink, apricot and gold. Ophelia ranks at the 

 top in popularity and Madame Butterfly will 

 surpass it. It averages more petals to the bloom, 

 it produces more bloom to the plant because it 

 makes more branches, everyone carrying a bud. 

 The tight buds are a lovely shade of Indian oak. 

 yellow at the base: the opening flowers are per- 

 fect in form and texture, clear and brilliant in 

 color and of delicious fragrance. 

 Souvenir de H. A. Yerseburen. In color it is 

 a two tone yellow, the center a beautiful apri- 

 cot-yellow which shades to saffron yellow at 

 the edges and while in unfavorable weather it 

 shades lighter, its rich color is maintained bet- 

 ter throughout the season. 



Two-year-old plants only. $1.50 each by

 intense and dazzling color there is no other 

 rose to compare with this — fiery crimson.

 continuous profusion throughout the season. 

 Very vigorous, bushy grower, and because of 

 its strong growing habits it should not be 

 placed with other hybrid teas. Extremely 

 hardy, easy to grow, always in bloom, it is one 

 of the most satisfactory of roses.

Hybrid Tea Roses 



The Most Desirable of All 



It has not been many years since the introduction of the Hybrid 

 Tea class of roses by Guillot. It is a part of the early history of 

 the Rose in this country that this house was the first to call atten- 

 tion to the valuable characteristics of the class, and was greatly 

 instrumental in making it the most popular. Today the great 

 majority of roses grown are Hybrid Teas, and new varieties are 

 being produced by the hundreds. 



The Hybrid Teas, as a class, are the most satisfactory of roses. 

 They produce the most beautiful blooms, of all forms and colors — 

 and continuously from early spring until heavy frost. Like the 

 Hybrid Perpetuais. they are vigorous growers: hardy, but not 

 exceptionally so. Therefore they are well adapted for growing in 

 our temperate climates, but in zones of extreme winters need some 

 protection. Their foliage is heavy and disease resisting, but. 

 as with all roses, must be protected from the ravages of insects. 



Our collection of Hybrid Teas is extensive and complete. But 

 the varieties offered in the following pages have been selected 

 with an understanding of the needs of the amateur grower, and 

 are varieties that have shown themselves to be well adapted for 

 growing by the great masses of flower lovers. These are kinds 

 that are easy to grow — the kinds we all want. If you desire a 

 variety not listed in these pages, write us. for very probably we 

 have the rose vou wish in our laree collection.
