Perpetual roses. Roses that bloom before school closes 

 in the summer and then show a luxuriant growth of 

 foliage and buds are most desirable for the school-yard 

 lawn, but perpetual roses are usually more satisfactory 

 for the home lawn, as they bloom continuously through- 

 out the summer. 



The following varieties are all hardy ; they will endure 

 the winter without any extra protection. 



The Frau Karl Druschki, sometimes known as the 

 white American Beauty, is one of the best varieties. Its 

 pure white blossoms make it very desirable. 



The Burbank has a large flower of a soft cherry-red 

 color. The blossoms are borne in profusion and have 

 good lasting qualities. 



The Helen Gould is a beautifully shaded dark-carmine 

 rose. It has a double flower and is considered one of 

 the best ever-blooming roses. 



The Eugene Furst has large crimson, velvety flowers 

 with shadings of black-red. It is very fragrant. 



On account of the deep, rich crimson flowers the Gen- 

 eral Jacqueminot is a great favorite. The flowers are 

 beautiful both in bud and in blossom. It is one of the 

 hardiest perpetual roses. 



The flowers of the Gruss an Teplitz are large and 

 handsome, very fragrant, moderately double, of splendid 

 substance, and are produced throughout almost the entire 

 growing season. The color is fiery "crimson shaded with 

 a dark, velvety sheen. The bush is hardy and a sturdy
