Hybrid Tea Roses 
While the Hybrid Tea Roses are none too 
hardy in the north, nevertheless they give a 
wealth of bloom that cannot be obtained from 
any other class of roses. It is very advisable 
to cover them well, or hill up with soil, in the 
north, to carry them through the winter. The 
varieties listed below are all very choice and will 
bloom almost constantly from June until the 
ground freezes up. Our plants are all strong, 
two-year field grown, and are not to be confused 
with inferior grades offered by many others.

PINK RADIANCE. Brilliant rose-pink. Prob¬ 
ably the finest pink rose. 
RED RADIANCE. A deep rose-red form of the 
above. 
MADAM BUTTERFLY. Light pink with tints 
of gold near base of petals. 
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. Perhaps the most vig¬ 
orous of all and will certainly produce more 
roses than any variety we know. Deep crimson. 
DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. Pine creamy 
yellow. 
ETOILE D’HOLLANDE. Pine brilliant red. 
One of the- best. 
TALISMAN. The popular rose of today. Red

of the most glorious combinations of cerise, yel¬ 
low, flame and scarlet.

ern climate.
