HJORT’S Ofd-Fackioued TEA ROSES 
Etoile de Lyon. Deep saffron-yellow; large, very 
double and fragrant. Considered by many to be 
the finest of the Teas of yellow shading. We are 
glad we have enough of this variety to offer it 
this season. 
Freiherr von Marschall. Carmine-red; double. 
Vigorous and constant. A fine old Tea Rose, 
sometimes called the Double Papa Gontier. A 
wonderful grower and bloomer; expecially good 
for fall flowering. 
Gruss an Teplitz. This old Hybrid China Rose 
has some Tea blood in it, and we place it in this 
group. Dark, velvety scarlet; spicy fragrance. 
Bush very strong and prolific; flowers fairly double 
on rather short stems. A ftne Rose for hedges. 
Hofgartner Kalb. Carmine-rose, very double 
flowers. Vigorous, compact bush; recurrent 
bloom. This is a China Rose, having Gruss an 
Teplitz as one of the parents. 
Lady Hillingdon. Deepest yellow of all Tea va- 
rieties. Bud long pointed; flower semi-double, 
fragrant. Bushy growth; bronze foliage. A favor- 
ite Tea Rose. 
La France. While this is called the original Hybrid 
Tea Rose, it has the lasting, dependable qualities 
of the full-blooded Tea. Silvery pink, reverse 
bright pink. Vigorous; profuse; recurrent. In- 
troduced in 1867 by Guillot of France, this old 
variety 1s world-famous and is still grown by 
many admirers. 
Louis Philippe. (China.) This is a most unusual 
Rose of deep red color. Foliage dark and glossy. 
Compact and vigorous in growth, it is used ex- 
tensively as a hedge Rose and hlooms profusely 
over a long season. In fact, in mild seasons It 
blooms throughout the winter in Florida and 
Gulf Coast areas. 
Winter Park, Fla.: “I am greatly pleased with your Tea 
Roses I planted last year, and will order more to replace 
some Hybrid Teas.”—Mrs. E. R. W.

MRS. B. R. CANT 
Maman Cochet. Clear silvery pink. Long- 
pointed bud and large, fragrant flower. This 
variety does not grow off so rapidly as such Teas 
as Mrs. Dudley Cross and Mme. Lambard but 
eventually makes fully as large a bush. One of 
the best cut-flower Teas. 
Marie van Houtte. Canary-yellow; petals tipped 
pink. In fall or during a mild winter the flowers 
show an enchanting lavender cast not seen in 
any other Rose. Foliage is dark and abundant; 
growth vigorous and compact. A very lovely and 
rewarding Tea Rose. 
Mme. Camille. Fairly large, well-formed, aurora- 
pink flowers, veined with white reflections; fra- 
grant. Not very double. Not recommended as 
a cut flower, but a marvelous bloomer, going well 
into cold weather. 
Mme. Lambard. This Rose is one of the great 
favorites of those who have Tea varieties. In the 
spring it is carmine-pink, shaded salmon, a little 
lighter in summer. In fall it is almost red, when 
It Is in its glory. A rank grower and profuse 
bloomer over a long season that extends into cool 
weather. A generation ago it was the leader of 
the Tea Rose group, and today there are many 
who still think it is the best. 
Mme. Melanie Soupert. Salmon-yellow, shaded 
pink; very large and very double. Vigorous bush 
with stiff stems. How we wish we had a dark 
pink or red of the same globular form. 
Mrs. B. R. Cant. Deep rose to light red; large, 
double flowers. Vigorous and profuse; bush is 
one of the largest of all varieties. One of the best 
of Tea Roses, it is a great favorite in many places 
in the South, such as New Orleans, Mobile, 
Florida and the Carolinas. Ranks right along 
with William R. Smith, Baroness Henriette Snoy 
and Mrs. Dudley Cross, and ought to be in every 
Tea Rose collection. 
Mrs. Dudley Cross. Most vigorous of the yellow 
Tea Roses. Canary-yellow, long, Cochet-like 
buds, opening light yellow and gradually develop- 
ing tints of pink—a fascinating combination. 
This rank-growing, showy and completely satis- 
factory Tea Rose should start any Tea collection. 
St. Petersburg, Fla.: “I feel you would like to know the 
Tea Rose varieties have done very well regardless of hurri- 
canes and a very warm and late summer with profuse 
rains,’—Mrs. I. T. W.
