Some of the Most Desirable Everblooming Tea Roses 
Fine One-Year-Old Plants, 30c ea. Choice of 8, $1.25. Large Two-Year-Old Plants, 40c ea. Choice of 8, $2.75 
T HESE are the original Everblooming Roses and are highly valued because of their exquisite dainty 
coloring and delicious tea fragrance, together with their remarkable free blooming qualities, flowering 
profusely as they do from June to November. They have great resistance to disease and leathery, glossy 
foliage. They are less hardy than the Hybrid Teas and need careful protection in cold climates. 
Some Blooms from Our Tea Roses 
ALEXANDER HILL GRAY —Color is a deep lemon-yellow 
which intensifies as the blooms develop; flowers large, of great 
substance and perfect formation; it has a high-pointed center 
from which the petals gracefully reflex. We recommend it 
highly. 
BLUMENSCHMIDT —Pure citron yellow, outer petals edged 
tender rose. Very full, double flowers; remarkably vigorous 
grower. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT —Color a French white, deepening to 
a rosy bush in the center, exceeding in distinctiveness of shad¬ 
ings the well known Malmaison. Its greatest value lies in its 
compact, vigorous habit and wonderful profusion of bloom. 
Form and substance of the flowers are so perfect that the hot¬ 
test weather does not cause a deterioration of either, so that 
even in midsummer a bouquet of splendid buds and open flowers 
can be obtained from this variety. Hardy with protection. 
ETOILE DE LYON —Flowers are very large and double; buds 
are long and pointed. Color, beautiful chrome yellow, deepening 
at the center to pure golden yellow. Unusually rugged grower, 
proving hardy in quite severe climates. 
HELEN GOOD (Beauty Cocliet) —Delicate yellow, suffused 
with pink, each petal edged deeper; very chaste and beautiful. 
Remarkably free flowering, particularly in late fall. 
LADY HILLINGDON —Handsome flowers of clear apricot-yel¬ 
low; hardy; of much vigor, and with an autumn blooming habit. 
MARIE GUILLOT —This beautiful Tea Rose continues in pop¬ 
ular favor, and still maintains its position as one of the best 
white Roses of its class; flowers of an unusual style, entirely 
double to the center; very sweet scented. 
SOUVENIR DE PIERRE NOTTING —The bloom is very large, 
perfectly full, elegant form; has a beautiful long bud; the colors 
are very bright, distinct and clear and have no unpleasant tones 
—orange-yelow, bordered in carmine-rose.
