The Hybrid Tea Roses 
This group includes the monthly blooming varieties to¬ 
gether with the Pernetiana types that are in general 
similar in both habit and bloom. 
These plants usually grow 1^2 to 3 feet high and are 
quite bushy. They should be planted from 12 to 15 inches 
apart in beds so that the surface of the soil between the 
plants can be kept loosened all Summer. 
The Hybrid Teas are the most delicate of all the classes 
listed but because of their recurrent bloom they are by 
far the most popular and widely planted group. They are 
entirely hardy in this locality if given a slight protection 
of soil banked around the branches during the Winter. 
Adele Crofton. A real new variety with a soft lovely color that is 
charming and beautiful. The yellow is overlaid with a scarlet or¬ 
ange. The semi-double blossoms are of fair size and the bushes are 
of moderate vigor. The stems are strong, medium long and the 
blooms are slightly fragrant. 85c. 
Amulet. The velvety crimson color of the double blossoms is showy 
and distinct. They are of medium size but very attractive. The 
plants grow upright and produce good length stems. 85c. 
Autumn. A most spectacular new Rose. It reminds one of the in¬ 
tense Autumn colors and has some of the characteristics of both 
Talisman and President Hoover, but it is entirely different from 
either. The form is rather Tulip shape but it is very double and it 
has some of the same shades of color as in President Hoover but 
they are more intense and more of the scarlet is exposed. The bush 
is a very vigorous, upright grower and the deliciously fragrant blos¬ 
soms are borne abundantly. Illustrated in color on page 11. 75c. 
Betty Uprichard. A free flowering (about 75 blossoms), handsome, 
semi-double variety which has attained great popularity. The color 
is charming; the inside of the petals is a salmon pink shading to 
carmine, with a suffusion of orange, while the outside is a glowing 
carmine with a copper sheen. The flowers have a distinct Verbena 
scent and the bush is a large, vigorous grower with sage green foliage 
that resists disease. Illustrated in color on inside front cover. 75c. 
Briarcliff. An improved Columbia with a clean, bright shade of rose 
pink. The buds are longer than Columbia, its popular parent, and 
open more uniformly perfect. The blossoms are sweetly scented 
and the foliage is disease resistant. Excellent for a cut Rose. 75c. 
Chas. K. Douglas. A real good red Rose with great depth of petals 
and clear color. The fine, long pointed buds open into large, loosely 
formed, fragrant flowers of a very striking crimson scarlet. The 
stems are long and strong for cutting and the blossoms are freely 
produced. Illustrated in color on inside back cover. 75c. 
E. G. Hill (See page 6) 
Charles P. Kilham. A fine variety of the Mme. Edouard Herriot 
color. The double large buds come out a blazing scarlet orange and 
open into bright orange pink. They make good cut flowers, last 
well and open slowly and beautifully. The plant is a good grower 
and free bloomer, producing about 3 dozen a year. You can’t help 
but like this magnificent Rose. Illustrated in color, page 10. 85c. 
Chateau de Clos Vougeot. Many who see this are immediately cap¬ 
tivated by its beautiful, unique color. This is one of the darkest red 
Hybrid Tea Roses in existence, the flowers being a rich velvety ma¬ 
roon. The color is deepest in the older blossoms and the blooms are 
best in the Fall. A moderate grower of spreading habit. 75c.

Christine. An intense golden yellow color that seems almost to spar¬ 
kle in the sunlight. The flowers are of medium size and sweetly fra¬ 
grant. The plant has bushy growth and I believe is the first yellow 
Hybrid Tea to send out its perfect blossoms every spring. Some 
noted rosarians have vigorously contended that Christine is really 
the best of all the yellow bedding Hybrid Teas. 75c. 
Countess Vandal. Perfect, long-pointed buds of bronze, copper, 
salmon and gold open into very large, semi-double blossoms. The 
bush is a strong, upright grower that produces long stems and a 
quite continuous supply of luscious coppery buds; perfumed.
