The ErefBlooming Teas form a very important group, and are universally regarded as the most desirable and valuable Roses for general culture; the demand for them far exceeds that of any other class. They commence to flower almost as soon as planted, and continue throughout the entire season, the blooms increasing in size and beauty until autumn. They are noted for their exquisite delicacy of coloring, which embraces all the lovely tea shades of yellow, fawn, and cream; also for their delightful fragrance, which exceeds that of all the other families. It is from this class of Roses that we get all the better sorts, especially those best adapted to house culture and growing under glass. The varieties included in the following Standard List are recog- nized as the leading sorts for general culture. They combine all the more pronounced features of the class with reference to qualities of vigor, profuse- ness, and brilliancy of bloom. The harvest of blossom during the first year will more than compensate for the trifling outlay and effort expended. We would call especial attention to the fact that many of the varieties included in the list are of the later introductions. lA/IMTF-D DDOTFI^TiniM Where the mercury drops pretty low our Roses must be well protected. Different persons use different Will I Ln rnvl Lv I IvFll* methods, and often with equal success. We can tell you what not to do. Don't cover closely with leaves or loose, strawy material that will hold moisture about the plants, or furnish a sheltered haunt for field mice. Any protection that will allow a speedy drying off, and free access of air, while preventing the direct action of freezing and thawing, is excellent. It will be well to clip out the latest soft growth, strip off the leaves, bend the branches down, and cover with loose earth to the depth of three or four inches, using a few boards or boughs above as a light weight. Don't remove the covering until the ground is thawed out. Large two-year-old plants can be supplied from this list of Roses, as follows: Where Roses are quoted at lO cents each, large plants at 25 cents each; where Roses are priced at 15 cents each, large plants at 25 cents each; where Roses are quoted at 20 and 25 cents each, large plants are worth 35 and 4-0 cents.
