OF FRUITS, OEXAMEXTAL TREES, ETC. 71 HYBRID TEA ROSES. This class is the result of a cross between the varieties of Hybrid Perpetuals and Teas. The great advantage claimed for them is that the)'combine the free flowering qualities of the Tea class with the rich coloring and to some extent the hardiness of the Hybrid Perpetual. Though not as hardy as the Hybrid Perpetuals they are much hardier than the Teas, and will standout during winter wherever the Bourbon ^^'ill, and where the Teas would be killed to the ground. Antoine Verdier—Bright silvery rose, shaded rich carmine; flowers very freely the entire season ; extra fine. Beauty of Stapleford—Flowers large, double and handsomely formed, color bright pink, shading gradually towards the center to deep rosy carmine. Makes beautiful )3uds and is a profuse bloomer. Camoens—Beautiful China rose color, shaded with yellow; a \igorous growing and free blooming variety. Distinction—Flowers not very full, but of fine form ; color silvery peach tinted with pink. La France—Delicate silvery rose, shaded with cerise-pink, often silvery pink with peach shading. Very large, very double, and of superb form. It flowers con- tinuously throughout the season. None can surpass the delicacy of its coloring; in fragrance, incomparable; in form, perfect. The sweetest and most useful of all roses. It ranks first, not only in the section to which it belongs but stands first and foremost among roses. Madam Schwaller—A variety of great freedom of bloom. Color rosy flesh, paler at the base of petals, and deeper on the edges. Globular when opening, becom- ing cupped when expanded. Of bushy growth, and very free flowering. A valuable variety, for pot culture ; very fragrant.; Pierre Cuillot—One of the finest and most valuable in the whole list: bright, dazzling crimson, passing "to brilliant carmine; flowers large, very double and full, and highly scented; healthy and vigorous grower, and a con stant bloomer from June till frost. The outer petals are broad, round, and decidedly recurved, showing the short, closely set inner petals. Puritan—A beautiful pure white variety of the most delicious fra- grance. In size and shape of flower it very closely resembles the Hybrid Perpetual class,^vith the flowering habit of the ever- blooming section. The flower is surrounded by a wreath of foli- age which sets it off to the best advantage. Wlliiam Francis Bennett—This is a magnificent variety for pot cultureor for forc- ing flowers in Winter, but as a bedding rose for Summer it is not so satisfactory, as in our hot sun the flowers are poor and faded. It is one of the most popular Koses with the cut flower growers for Winter flowers. The l)uds are of exqui.site shape, long and pointed, like Xiphetos, and rivalling Gen. Jacqueminot in its rich glowing crimson color. HYBRID PERPETUAL. This class of Roses is admirably suited for garden culture, for the formation of Ro.se beds, hedges and permanent plantations, where hardy varieties of Roses are de.sired. They are of easy culture and luxuriate in a deep, rich soil. They are benefitted by mulch- ing of leaves or strawy manure placed around the roots in tlie fall of the year.
