E VERY season many of our friends write us ordering ever- 
blooming HARDY Climbing Roses. 
It is true that we do offer in our list of Hardy Climbers 
some varieties that are described there as recurrent-flowering, 
but after the first full crop in the spring, it must not be expected 
that the recurrent crops at various intervals will be as the first, 
although some of the varieties do make quite a showing. 
However, the Climbing Hybrid Teas will repeat all season with 
full crops of flowers if planted and protected as follows: 
Plant the Roses in such a situation that, before severe frosts 
come, the branches can be loosened from their support and laid 
down in a trench dug the proper length, beginning at the foot of 
the vine. Pin them down with pegs and cover with soil. Most of 
our New England friends make a practice of doing this for Climb¬ 
ing Hybrid Tea Roses. 
Pruning: They bloom best on spurs from the old wood, so 
that the only pruning necessary is to cut back lateral shoots to 
one or two eyes. 
All these Climbing Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10, unless otherwise noted

TEA ROSES 
These are the original Everblooming Roses from which the 
Hybrid Teas, described in preceding sections, have descended. 
They were at one time thought to be too tender for northern 
states, but while they still excel in the southern states, they 
have proved to be perfectly hardy here. With handsome, 
disease-resistant foliage they have their place in all gardens, and 
are especially spectacular toward fall. Culture and pruning same 
as that for Hybrid Teas. 
$1 each, $9 for 10 of any one variety, for field-grown plants 
All these Roses are
