TEA ROSES 
1 his class of Roses is distinguished by a delicate tea fragrance and an absolutely everblooming 
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-ycar mailing size, 10 cts.; 
strong 2-ycar plants, 35 cts.
