NEW CLASS OF ROSES, "Hybrid Tea.'* 



The introduction of this new section of roses has cieated 

 a great sensation and marks a new era in the history 

 of the Rose. As the name indicates, these varieties 

 are obtained by crossing the Tea or everblooniing 

 varieties with the Hybrid Perperuals. The results of This 

 hybridization are a race of roses which combine, to a 

 great extent, the free-flowering qualities of the Teas witli 

 the richer colors, larger size and exquisite fragrance of 

 the Hybrid Perpetuals. All are hardy in latitude of New 

 York.

HYBEID TEA, •• PIERKE GULLLOl 



HYBRID TEA, "Pierre Guillot." 



This is in our opinion the best of all the Hybrid Teas. It 

 produces its large, beautiful buds on strong upright stems, 

 and shows none of that weakness in the stem that detracts 

 from some others of this class ; color bright dark crimson, 

 with rich Hybrid Perpetual fragrance; very profuse. (See 

 Cut.)

NEW NOISETTE ROSE— W. A. Richard- 

 son. 



A rapid-growing climbing variety. Flowers a very rich 

 copper color. 50 cts. each; $4.50 per doz. 



"QUEEN OF BEDDERS." 



A splendid variety, with flowers of a bright dark crim- 

 son color. It is not much used for cut flowers, as its bads 

 are not pointed enough, but for bedding singly or in 

 masses it is superb. It is probably the freest summer 

 flowering Rose known. It literally covers itself with 

 flowers,- every shoot being a cluster of dazzling bloom.
