HARDY HYBRID TEA ROSES 
All on Their Own Roots 
These are by far the most valuable and popular of all Roses. They bloom continuously 
throughout the summer and frequently until late in the fall, and are practically hardy in any 
climate. There are many varieties in all colors, shapes and sizes of bloom, and all have a 
delightful fragrance. The assortment that I offer is not so large as that of some growers, 
bui I have tested all the varieties thoroughly, and have confined my list to those which are 
the most satisfactory in profusion and quality of bloom, foliage and habit of growth, 
have discarded many varieties because I have others of the same class of greater merit. 
I believe this list embraces all of the worth-while sorts.

rose has taken the country by 
storm ; no other forcing rose except 
American Beauty can compete with 
it, and it is also a splendid garden 
rose, which is rather mo-re than can 
be said of American Beauty. The 
flower stems are easily 3 feet long, 
very stiff and surmounted with 
grand rosy pink blooms of the 
largest size ; the color sometimes 
varies to a brilliant red ; buds long 
and pointed, opening to a perfectly 
full rose splendidly perfumed.

$1.00 each ($10.00 per dozen) ; 3-

dozen).
