Everblooming Hybrid Teas are hardy and of vigorous 
growth, but for best results should be given a winter cov- 
ering in the Northern States by hilling the soil up around 
the plants to a depth of 6 or 8 inches. From the many 
hundreds of roses on the market today we have selected a 
group that we believe will give the most satisfaction to the 
average grower. If the varieties we offer are not familiar 
to you by name, you need only select them by color as you 
will be well pleased with all of them.
