HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 

 ^ColuHlfc)l2- (The Gem of the Garden) 



This is one of the most impressive, and one of the most 

 popular roses since the introduction of the glorious Ameri- 

 can Beauty. It is an extremely profuse bloomer — as free a 

 bloomer as the Teas, especially in the cooler seasons, for 

 the plant is a strong grower and is made up chiefly of 

 flower stems. The color is a deep peach pink, deepening 

 into a glowing pink, a perfect color. Handsome, firm buds 

 are borne on long, stiff stems well above the foliage, and 

 open into very large somewhat flat flowers of good sub- 

 stance, splendid lasting quality, and of delightful fra- 

 grance. Heavy, healthy foliage. 



MAD. JULES GROLEZ. The color is a distinct and 

 charming shade of cherry-red. The fine form and 

 attractive shape of the flowers makes them excellent 

 for cutting. 

 W. FREELAND KENDRICK (Originally called Bloom- 

 field Endurance). Type, La France. Bud medium size, 

 ovoid, flesh-white; flowers, large, slightly globular, very 

 double, full, very lasting, fragrant, flesh deepening to 

 peach in center, borne singly and several together on 

 medium-length, strong stem. Foliage abundant, dark 

 green, leathery, glossy, disease resistant. 

 CITY OF LITTLE ROCK. Distinct and beautiful in 

 color, a bright rosy pink or rose shaded with Hydrangea 

 pink. The buds which open perfectly are long of ideal 

 form. 



*ETOILE DE FRANCE. The strong, upright bushes 

 have beautiful bronze-green foliage, which is not 

 subject to insect attacks. The bushes are blooming 

 constantly, producing large, massive, deep, full cup- 

 formed flowers of clear red or velvety crimson.
