TEA ROSES 
This class of Roses is distinguished by a delicate tea fragrance and an absolutely cverblooming 
habit. Most varieties are not so hardy as the Hybrid Tea class, but they may be carried through 
the winter even in the Northern States with careful protection, banking up with soil probably 
being the most satisfactory method. The Cochet varieties are nearly or quite as hardy as the 
Hybrids. 
Price of all Tea Roses, except where noted: 1-year mailing size, 10 cts.; 
strong 2-year plants, 10 cts.; 3-year plants, 50 cts.

Tea Rose. The one Tea Rose which 
you cannot possibly do without.
