The Everblooming or Monthly Hoses mostly belong to the 
claw known as Teas, and their free flowering qualities make 
them the most i>o|nilar ol'all Hoses. Plants begin to bloom 
when very small and grow rapidly, producing a great profu¬ 
sion of choice flowers all the summer and fall. In pots they 
bloom nearly the whole year. In the open ground they ure I 
not hardy north of Now York without protection during 
winter. Nothing makes a finer show lied on the lawn, or in 
the garden than a mass of Hoses, and from a dozen plants a 
bunch of choice flowers can lie cut every day during the en¬ 
tire summer and fall.
