Seeds Catalogs; Nursery stock Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Seeds Catalogs. 172 HARDY EVERBLOOMING HYBRID-TEA ROSES For garden culture the Hybrid-Tea Roses have now taken the foremost rank. They have been produced by crossing the free- flowering Tea Roses with other varieties, principally of the June-flowering or Hybrid Perpetual classes, thus combining not only the free-flowering habit of the Tea Rose with the rich and varied colors of the other classes, but also comparative hardiness. The greatest efforts of the world's most noted Rose specialists during the past quarter of a century have been devoted to this class of Rose, and the results achieved have been really wonderful. Not only is every color known in Roses now represented, but there are many beautiful shades and color combinations not found in the other types. At our Nurseries, Riverton, N. J., we have trial beds containing more than 500 varieties of Hybrid-Tea Roses alone, embracing all the standard varieties, as well as the latest introductions. An inspection of these is at all times interesting, and especially so during the height of the Rose season, usually from the last week in May until the beginning of July. We list this season 133 varieties of Hybrid-Tea Roses. These, with the exception of a very few of the latest introductions, are all varieties which we have found from actual test in the trials noted above to be sorts of superior merit and especially adapted to our climatic conditions, each and every one a perfect gem in its particular color or form. For best results Hybrid-Tea Roses should be severely pruned; the stronger shoots should be cut back to from 8 to 12 inches in height, while all weak, thin wood should be removed entirely. NEW HYBRID-TEA ROSES Introductions of 1914 to 1017 Every season the list of new Roses offered with glowing descriptions grows greater and greater. Necessarily
