Hybrid leas 
If your preference in roses runs to large size, and perfect form in 
both bud and flower—if you want fragrant roses and special colors for 
cutting and arranging, then you will find your garden favorite among 
these Hybrid Teas. 
Today, 89 years after the first one was introduced, the new 
Hybrid Teas have more appealing colors and better habits of growth 
and bloom than ever. You can order any of the varieties 
we list and know it is a good one because each has had to 
prove its merit to have earned its place in this catalog. 
DEEPEST DARKEST RED HYBRID TEA 
Glamorous dark red Rich spicy fragrance 
Long slender buds Big vigorous plant 
Graceful form in 4” blooms Long stout stems 
Romance, intrigue—yes, even black magic—youl 
find them all in the velvety black-red color with 
its hidden fires and shadowy undertones. Buds, 
slender and lovely, open to graceful flowers with 
crisp long-lasting petals. They are made extra ap- 
pealing by a rich spicy fragrance, like the scent of 
cinnamon and cloves wafted on a tropical breeze. 
The plant of Midnight is tall, free-branching and 
vigorous with plenty of large glossy foliage and a 
remarkable resistance to mildew. It will be one of 
the most floriferous Hybrid Teas in your garden.
