Hybrid Tea Roses. 
The new Hybrid Tea Roses, lately introduced from Europe, are distinct and beautiful, and are attracting much 
attention. These splendid varieties represent an entirely new and distinct type or class of roses, the results of a 
cross between varieties of the Hybrid Perpetual, or Remontant Roses, and the Teas. The great advantage claimed for 
them is that they combine the hardiness of the Hybrid Perpetuals with the constant-blooming qualities, rich and delicate 
coloring, and delightful fragrance of the Tea Roses. They are not entirely hardy, and need protection in the Winter.

say enough in praise. It is a constant bloomer ; color peach blos¬ 
som, shaded pink and silvery rose. The most delightfully-fragrant 
rose grown. 20 cents, 30 cents, 50 cents and $i each, according to

grance, equaling in these respects the w'cll-known “Jack” Rose. 
It is very double, producing beautiful flowers all summer long, 
even in the hottest w’eather. With a little protection of hay or 
leaves about the roots it will live out over winter in the Northern 
States. First size, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen. Second size,
