TEA AND FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
These come to us direct from the best Western growers so receive a mini- 
mum of handling between the grower and planter, which is important. 
All this group should have winter protection. Bank up with earth 8 inches 
or more and cover with any available material, preferably something which 
will stay loose. 
Hybrid Teas (marked H.T.) are constant bloomers and the finest colors 
but need best winter protection. They are usually planted quite close to- 
gether in narrow beds. 
Polyanthas, or Baby Ramblers are hardier but are better with protection 
and are the most continuous blooming of all. 
Floribundas are especially suitable for massing and have considerably 
larger flowers and bushes than the Polyanthas. 
Brownell’s Sub-Zero Hybrid Teas (marked S-Z. H. T.) are a strain pro- 
duced with hardiness as well as disease resistance and flower and plant per- 
fection in mind. They still need what protection you can give them. 
All of this group of roses like rich garden soil and plenty of moisture. 
Frequent watering and feeding is well paid in extra blooms. To avoid black 
spot water only in the morning and keep the water off the foliage, and use 
a good rose spray or dust. 
Prices: All roses in this list except those otherwise priced are: 
$1.30 each; 3 for $1.25 each. 
APPLAUSE, $2.00 ea; 3 at $1.75 ea. (Pat) H.T. Large fragrant buds are spark- 
ling light red, opening slowly to perfectly shaped fifty-petaled open blooms 
heavy with fragrance.
