]\Ime. Butterfly 



Hybrid Tea. All the color tones of Ophelia 

 are intensified, making it a harmony of bright 

 pink, apricot and gold. Opheha ranks at the 

 top in popularity and ^ladame Butterfly will 

 surpass it. It averages more petals to the bloom, 

 it produces more bloom to the plant because it 

 makes more branches, eveiAone cany^ng a bud. 

 The tight buds are a lovely shade of Indian oak. 

 yellow at the base: the opening flowers Eire per- 

 fect in form and textm-e. clear and brilHant in 

 color and of deMcious fragrance.

 a two tone yellow, the center a beautiful apri-

Hvbrid Tea Roses 



The 3Iost Desirable of All 



It has not been many years siace the iutroduction of the Hybrid 

 Tea class of roses by GiiiUot. It is a part of the early histor>" of 

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

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

 iustrumental iu 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 aU forms and colors — 

 and continuously from early spring until heaA"\- frost. Like the 

 Hybrid Perpetuals. they are vigorous growers; hardy, but nit 

 exceptionafly so. Therefore they are weU adapted for growing in 

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

 protection. Their fohage is hea>~\' and disease resisting, but. 

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



Our coUection of Hybrid Teas is extensive and complete. Rut 

 the varieties offered in the foUowing 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 eas>- to grow — the kinds we all want. K you desire a 

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

 have the rose vou wish in our large collection.
