MARECHAL NIKI., free. ( Pradel , 1801,.) Said to be a seedling from Imbella Gray. Deep yellow; very large; very 
full; globular; highly scented. It is of delicate constitution and requires careful treatment; it should not be 
severely pruned. The finest of all Yellow Roses. 50c.

CLASS IV.—TEA ROSES. 
(Rosa Indica odorata.) 
ALL ARE ON THEIR OWN ROOTS. 
The Tor Rose may well bo takon as a synonym for all that is delicately beautiful. "What refinement of color, 
what subdued yet powerful fragrance do they possess! They may justly be called the sweetest of all roses. The 
flowers, many of them, are large and very delicate in their shades of colors, such as white, straw, salmon and 
various tints of rose combined with these. While as a rule they are inferior to the Hybrid Perpetuals in brilliancy 
of color and fullness of flower, the distinction between varieties is equally marked, and for bouquets and cut 
flowers they greatly excel all other classes. Like other tender Roses their flowers improve in quality as the season 
advances, and reach perfection in Autumn. In judging the merits of a Tea Rose we do not always consider fullness 
of flowers a requisite. A Hybrid Perpetual is nothing if not at least moderately full, but some of our most valued 
Teas have but very few petals, and are comparatively single. Such are Hon Silent*, Isabella Sprunt, Safrano, etc. 
All those have exquisitely formed buds, and are therefore prized as invaluable. The Teas are more tender than 
any of the other classes, and need a little more care in their protection. We have rejected all varieties that are of 
feeble growth (excepting Niplietos) and unhealthy habit, retaining only such as combine beauty of flower with 
good constitution. 
Angel© Jacquier, free. ( GuiUot, 1879.) Pale rose, sometimes flesh ; the base of petals tinged with coppery yellow ; 
very sweet; free flowering. A lovely Tea, bearing some resemblance both to Catharine Mermet and Rubens . 
Highly commended. 60c. 
Annie Cook, vig. ( Cook , 1888.) An American seedling from Ron SUene; delicate shade of pink, changing to white 
under glass in winter, vigorous and free blooming. This variety has several good qualities, but the shape of 
the bud detracts from its value for forcing purposes. 50c. 
BON SIMONE OR SILKNE, free. (Hardy, 1839.) Rosj r carmine, shaded with salmon; fragrant and very free 
flowering. Valuable for the buds. 50c.

free bloomer, admirably adapted for forcing. 50c. 
Caroline Kuster, vig. (Pernet, 1873.) This is sometimes classed with the Noisettes, but it differs from them in

CATHARINE MERMET, mod. (QuUlot-flls, 1869.) Bright flesh color, with the same peculiar silvery lustre pos¬ 
sessed by La Fiance; large, full, and of beautiful form; when the flowers expand they yield a delightful 
perfume; decidedly one of the finest Teas; cultivated extensively by florists for cut flowers. 50c. 
Charles Ravolii, free. (Fernet, 1875.) Carmine rose, not unlike Bon SUene. 50c.

when bedded out. 50c. 
Coquette de Lyon, free or vig. (Bucher, 1870.) Pale yellow, medium or small size; the most productive and one
