EXPLANATORY 
Abrevations used to designate the class of Roses: 
H. T. or HYBRID TEA Roses are the so called Ever- 
blooming or Monthly Roses. This class is in bloom 
throughout the entire season, commencing in June with 
the June Roses and continuing until freezing weather. 
The H. T. Roses are not as hardy as the other classes 
and must have some winter protection. 
H. P. or HYBRID PERPETUAL Roses are of the 
Hardy Class. The bloom is very heavy in June and 
somewhat scattered throughout the summer, although 
they are everblooming, they should not be planted with 
the Hybrid Teas, as they grow more rampant and 
should be planted as a background, or where a large 
bush is prefered. 
POLY, or POLYANTHA Roses are better known as 
Baby Ramblers, they form a dwarf compact plant, liter¬ 
ally covered with clusters of bloom throughout the en¬ 
tire season, being used mostly for bedding purposes or 
for borders, although they are not out of place among 
Hybrid Teas. 
CL. or CLIMBING ROSES, may also be classed as 
Rambler or Pillar Roses, being used extensively to cover 
porches, trellises, fences or any spot where a fast growing 
plant is desired.
