Hybrid Tea Roses 



THIS is a comparatively new class, the result of a union between ttie Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals, and 

 undoubtedly the coming race of Roses, and they are rapidly pushing to the front and bid fair in a fe 

 years to outrival all othe'- sections. 

 They combine the valuable characteristics of both the Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals, inasmuch as th- 

 bloom freely the first year like an ordinary ever-blooming Tea Ro^e, and from the Hybrids they inherit tl 

 large, finely formed flowers and pungent fragrance; giving us the most delicate and beautiful shades of cole 

 with long pointed buds. They are perfectly hardy in all sections, free growers and produce a profusion 

 bloom from the beginning of the season right up to its close. They are adapted for wide and general cul 

 vation, and we predict that the time is not far distant when this class will supersede all other classes 

 roses for general planting.

An Irish Gem 



Last year when we offered this great ne 

 Rose for the first time the supply was unequ 

 to the great demand for it. This year we ha 

 a fine large stock of it, and we trust to be ab 

 to supply all our customers who desire 

 This grand new Rose was originated by Huj 

 Dickson, Belfast, Ireland, and if the inti 

 ducer's claims are reliable— and Mr. Dickst 

 does not usually make claims that are othe 

 wise— this Rose will supersede such great vari 

 ties as Riclnnond, Liberty, Meteor, 

 take a place distinctly its own in the Hybr 

 Tea class. 



On exhibition J. B. Clark has been shcv 

 with flowers 7 inches in diameter and 5 inch 

 deep. Think of it! There is no descriptii 

 adequate to cover such a phenomenal Rose 

 this. It is a strong, upright grower, wi 

 splendid, heavy, dark bronzy-green foliage, b 

 the glory of the plant is its flowers. They a 

 extraordinary in size, beautifully formed pet£ 

 of great depth and substance; the half open 

 l)ud full and elongated, with a high point 

 center. 



The color is new— intense deep scarh 

 heavily shaded blackish-crimson like the she 

 on a plum, giving the expanded flower an i 

 describably beautiful appearance. Fragrance 1 

 tensely sweet.
