HYBRID TEAS. 
Great advances have been made in this section during the past 15 years. 
Amongst the varieties described will be found all the shades of colour necessary 
to make a garden beautiful. It is not too much to say these are the true per- 
petual flowering roses, alike in early summer and late autumn ; they are con- 
tinuously in bloom, and for general garden ornamentation there is nothing to 
equal them. Many of them make most beautiful standards as well as bushes. 
The varieties in this section specially recommended for exhibition purposes are 
marked thus* . 
When grown for the decoration of the gar den, sev ere pruning should be av oided.
