Tea Roses are readily distinguished by their dehghtful fragrance, dehcate coloring, and their beau- 

 tiful rich foliage. They require a good location, somewhat sheltered, and less pruning than the Hybrid 

 Tea Roses. The varieties offered here have pro\ ed best for our climate and will, with the attention 

 they deserve, give satisfactory results.

Lady Hillingdon. Deep golden 

 yellow in color, the finest and most 

 highly colored of all the yellow Roses. 

 The growth, tliough not robust, is re- 

 markably 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 decora- 

 tive effect.

 petals splashed bright rose; extra 

 flowering in the greatest pro

Mrs. Herbert Stevens. White, with fawn shading 

 toward the center; long, pointed blooms of excellent 

 form. A vigorous-growing variety, wonderfully free. 



Mrs. B. R. Cant. Outer petals deep rose, inner 

 petals soft, silvery rose suffused with buff toward the 

 base. The flowers are exceedingly full, of good size, and 

 of a lovely globular form. This is an exceptionally 

 good-growing Rose, making a large bush which pro- 

 duces a great number of charming blossoms during the 

 season.

_ Soft flesh, shaded honey- 

 d peach-rose with coppery shadings. The 



altliough medium-sized, opens quite full. This is 

 wondertullv constant and free flowering, and should be 

 numbered among the best for bedding purposes. 

 Requires additional winter protection in New Eng- 

 land, but its many good qualities surely merit 

 careful culture. 



Nita Weldon. Ivory-white, shading to 

 lush at the petal edges; long, pointed buds 

 opening into large, full flowers of globular 

 form. 



Souvenir de Pierre Netting. Yellow 



delicate pink and saflFron-yellow shad- 

 ings; long buds of exquisite form. Vigorous, 

 bushy, growing habit. 



Wliite Maman Cochet. A pure white 

 sport of Maman Cochet, and 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 

 , flushed and suffused with bright 

 pink, somewhat similar to Maman 

 Cochet, but distinct in point of growth 

 and habit. This Rose is sometimes ofl^ered under 

 the synonyms. Maiden's Blush, Charles Dingee, 

 and Jeanette Heller. A fine garden Rose that will be 

 found entirely free from Black Spot or mildew under 

 the most trying conditions. If cut-flowers are desired, 

 it is advisable to remove the side buds, letting the 

 full strength go into the terminal flower.
