Hybrid Tea Roses 
(EVERBLOOMING) 
No flower grown can compare with the Rose! Its rich fragrance, its ex- 
quisite coloring and form have made it the queen of the flower garden. 
McKay’s gorgeous roses excel in the following: 
1. Strong, heavy dormant plants. 
2. Well rooted plants. 
3. Outdoor, field'grown plants, where they have received the best 
care and attention. 
Much has been said about the difficulty of growing roses, yet thous- 
ands of lovely rose gardens that receive only amateur care are flourishing 
throughout the state. 
Roses thrive best in clay loam soils enriched with welbrotted manure. 
They should always have a sunny, open, and airy situation, unshaded 
by trees or buildings. (See page 28 for complete cultural directions.) 
The Hybrid Tea Roses described below represent the shoicest varieties 
of everblooming roses; roses that will bloom from June until frost. Ex- 
perience the great enjoyment of growing your own roses this summer.
