STANDARD VARIETIES 
Hybrid Tea or Everbloomins Roses 
W HEN the average person speaks of Roses today, he refers to the Hybrid 
Teas which, for the lack of a better descriptive word, we have come to 
call “Everblooming Roses.” Perhaps “recurrent” would better fit their 
habit of bloom. 
We have the varieties in this section under their colors in order to avoid con¬ 
fusion where so many good kinds are offered. 
The Hybrid Tea Roses begin to bloom abundantly about ten to twelve weeks 
after they are planted in spring. They continue to produce the finest blooms for 
bouquets and cut-flowers right up until late fall when they are usually at their 
best. Fall-planted Hybrid Teas produce their finest blooms the following summer. 
The varieties here offered are those most generally successful for outdoor culture. 
They all have their good points. We do not claim to offer every variety worth 
growing but only the cream of those which grow well under general soil and climatic 
conditions. This saves the inexperienced planter much confusion and insures against 
making a poor selection. You who want Roses for Roses’ sake, regardless of 
when they were introduced, will find here those whose plant and blooming habits 
can be depended on. ^ 
EDITOR McFarland, while there seems 
to be an abundance of good pink Roses, 
still, to the keen observer. Editor McFar¬ 
land is one of the finest deep, glowing pinks.

is so firm that its excellent form is retained 
both on the plant and when cut. It has the 
plant characteristics of pink Radiance with 
a better-formed bloom. Extra Grade, $1.00;
