May's ever blooming tea roses listed on this page ^re a continuation 
of the descriptions and prices of these fine roses, listed alphabetically, 
from page 86, and some of the best of this sort will be found listed 
among those shown below.

rich and beautiful shade, entirely distinct from any other 
variety. Each 10c.

deep. Flowers large and cup-formed. Each 2Sc. 
Pink Soupert. The color of this rose is a rich, 
deep pink. Each 10c. 
President Carnot. This rose will be found 
illustrated in the lower right hand corner of 
pa^e 86. It is unquestionably the finest rose 
of Its color introduced in a decade. A beau- 
tifully formed rose. Whether considered 
from the standpoint of the commercial cut- 
flower-grower or from its fitness for garden 
work, this rose is without a superior, and it 
is doubtful if it has an equal. The growth 
is vigorous, the foliage dark green and very 
handsome, but the glory of this variety 
is in its flower. It is very large, both in the 
bud and in the expanded flower, double to 
the center, and opens most beautifully. 
The coloring is a soft rose pink_ shading to 
white. Tecnnically described, it could be 
called a rosy-flesh, very soft in the center, and 
shaded with a lighter flesh at the end of the 
petals. Each 10c. 
Reine Karola de Saxe. A lovely bedding rose, 
with large flower of a blush white, with shell shadings 
of a delicate pink. Each 25c. 
Richmond* Unquestionably one of the handsomest 
varieties of late introduction. A real red rose, shading 
to velvety crimson as flowers mature. Flowers full and finely 
formed. Very fragrant. A free, strong grower and a profuse 
bloomer. Like all of the evcr-blooming monthly roses, it is at its beat 
during the cool days ol sprins 
and fall. Each lOc. ^'
