HJORT'S Old-Faskcoued Tea Roses 
DUCHESSE DE BRABANT 
While ours is a very extensive Rose listing and 
the plants are excellent quality, some varieties 
are in limited supply. In ordering, especially as 
the season advances, it is well to permit sub- 
stitutions, to be made from similar varieties.

This group of Roses is perfectly adapted to the 
hot, moist summers of the Lower South, including 
Florida, and soils that are sandy, although the Teas 
grow all over the entire South in any good Rose soil. 
Tea Roses were brought to Europe from China’s 
gardens tn the late 1700’s. In northern Europe they 
were not well received, but in southern France they 
found conditions of climate and soil suttable and 
rapidly gained favor. Soon they were brought to 
America. They did not thrive in the North, but 
once planted tn the South, especially along the Gulf 
and coastal areas, became immensely popular and 
outlived other classes of Roses. 
Most Teas are not considered cut-flower varieties, 
but some produce large flowers on stiff stems. The 
best of these are Baroness Henriette Snoy, William 
R. Smith, Maman Cochet, Mrs. Dudley Cross and 
Mme. Lambard. A lot of the others are much better 
than generally believed. The pink varieties are the 
favorites in the Teas, for while the reds grow vig- 
orously it is admitted none of them have color com- 
parable to Crimson Glory and Etoile de Hollande, 
nor are there yellows like Eclipse and Soeur Therese 
—they are lighter. One does not plant Teas for 
flowers like Peace and Chrysler Imperial, but for 
profusion of bloom, ease of growth and length of 
life. 
If you are not so sure you can grow good Roses 
by all means start with the Teas. You will love 
them for thetr dependable qualities. And really, 
they are beautiful! 
All Tea Roses are $1.50 each, 3 for $3.90, 
6 for $7.50, 12 for $13.20, by Parcel Post, prepaid
