TEA ROSES 



Tea Roses are readily distinguished by their delightful fra 

 grance, delicate coloring and their beautiful rich foliage. They 

 require a good location, somewhat sheltered, and less pruning 

 than the Hybrid Tea Roses. The varieties offered here have 

 proved best for our climate and will, with the attention they 

 deserve, give satisfactory results. 



Strong, 2-year plants from pots, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., except 

 where noted. No dormant plants offered. Three of a variety at 

 the dozen rate; 25 of a variety at the 100 rate. 



Gustave Nabonnand. Pale rose, shaded with yellow; large 



petals and very handsome in the bud form; very free. 

 Harry Kirk. Deep sulphur-yellow, passing to a lighter shade at 



the petal margins. The growth is robust, branching freely am' 



flowering continuously. One of the best garden varieties. 

 Lady Hillingdon. Deep golden yellow in color, the finest and 



most highly colored of all the yellow Roses. The growth, 



though not robust, is remarkably vigorous and of a desirable 



branching habit. The deep apricot buds are long and pointed, 



and most dainty when cut before the flower opens fully; the 



flower, when open, is not too full, and is very beautiful. Hardy if well protected. A very free-flowering Rose 



that will prove most useful to those who grow Roses for cut-flower purposes rather than for decorative effect. 

 Maman Cochet. Beautiful rose-pink, outer petals splashed bright rose; extra-strong in growth, flowering in 



the greatest profusion; very double and equally fine in the bud or open flower. This Variety is generally known 



as Pink Maman Cochet, and is one of the most reliable bedding RoseS. 

 Mrs. Herbert Stevens. White, with fawn shading toward the center; long, pointed blooms of e.\cellent form. 



A vigorous-growing variety, wonderfully free. 

 Molly Sharman-Crawford. Delicate eau-de-nil-white, opening to dazzling white; large, full, perfectly formed 



fragrant flowers of excellent keeping quality. Free and continuous. 

 White Maman Cochet. A pure white sport of Maman Cochet, that is a counterpart of its parent, except in 



color. It is highly recommended as one of our best white garden Roses. Occasionally tinged blush or rose. 

 Wm. R. Smith. One of the finest garden Roses of American origin. Color creamy white, flushed and suffused 



with bright rosy pink, somewhat similar to Maman Cochet, but distinct in point of growth and habit. This 



K i^e is sometimes offered under the synonyms, Maiden's Blush, Charles Dingee and Jeannette Heller, A fine, 

 ■ garden Rose.
