HYBRID TEA ROSES 
This is the largest and most important 
group of roses for it includes the so-called Ever- 
blooming or Monthly blooming roses. It is the 
group that most people are thinking about 
when they are talking about roses. 
The bushes usually grow 1^ to 3 feet high 
and should be planted 12 to 15 inches apart in 
beds. We like to have the soil between the 
plants kept loosened and if they are planted 
relatively close together they will shade the 
ground, keeping it cooler and in better con¬ 
dition for the roses during the summer. 
The intense spectacular color of ALEZANE (Plant Pat. 
110) makes this rose one of the outstanding new varieties. 
Urn shaped buds open to reddish brown semi-double 
blooms. 27 petals. $1.25. 
A new yellow rose ALICE HARDING (Plant Pat. 202) 
seems to be right at home in hot weather. The intense sun¬ 
flower yellow holds very well in the heat. The bush is a low 
grower of moderate vigor. $2.00. 
For those who like very large, very double blossoms 
AMELIA EARHART (Plant Pat. 63) is ideal. The 
huge soft yellow blossoms are held erect on strong 
stems. 70 large and 60 small petals. $1.25. 
The beautiful shade of pink, called cochineal pink is very 
appealing in AMI F. MAYERY with its large semi-double 
blossoms. It is a new variety well worth trying if you want 
something charming in pink roses. 22 petals. $ 1 . 00 . 
There are some who want the deepest red colors possible 
in a rose. Those colors are found in AMI QUINARD. The 
long buds opening into medium sized blossoms are freely 
produced on an erect good growing bush. 17 petals. 80c. 
The beautiful blended copper and gold petals of 
ANTINEA are very large but only those who like the simple 
semi-double blossoms should get it for there are only 15 
petals. The bush is a medium tall grower. $1.00. 
AUTUMN is a most spectacular rose having some of the 
same hues as President Hoover but exposing more scarlet. 
This variety is losing in favor on account of its suscepta- 
bility to black-spot. 45 petals. 80c. 
The rose BETTER TIMES (Plant Pat. 23) is popular 
because it is a good grower and bloomer as well as having 
a good name. The brilliant cerise flowers are large, double 
and very fragrant. $1.25.
