C. A. Heescr, Seedsman and Florist, 
therefore prized as invaluable. The 
Teas are more tender than any of the 
other classes, and need a little more 
care in their protection. They form 
the largest and most popular section 
of the Kver-blooming Roses, produc¬ 
ing an endless succession of flowers 
in a favorable climate, and even at 
the North blooming from the time 
they are planted until stopped by 
freezing weather. Teas should be 
planted in a rich, warm soil, where 
they will be kept constantly growing, 
for they bloom as they grow. Where 
they continue to grow year alter 
year, without being checked by hard 
freezes, they form immense masses 
of foliage, covered with flowers of 
the largest size, and produced in the 
greatest profusion. 
Prices, except where noted, first 
size, iarge, fine plants, grown in 
three-inch pots, purchaser’s
