Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Adonis. Hybrid Tea. (Bees Ltd., 1921.) Large, long buds, opening to massive blooms of ivory-cream, lightly shaded with lemon. Very double, with full, high centers, and fragrant. Grows compactly and flowers well throughout the season.
Most excellent for cutting and exhibition, being similar in color but larger and more impressive than the famous old Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. Likely to ball in damp weather but all white Roses do that. $1.50 each.

Adonis, H. T. (Bees, Ltd.). This is a lively pale yellow Rose. Of vigorous habit of growth. The blooms are large, well-formed and sweetly scented. After the style of Mrs. David McKee, but to me a distinct improvement an that variety. The plant exhibited was free from mildew, and the dark olive green leathery foliage would tend to show it was tolerably free from that trouble. A first-class garden Rose.
