SELECT LIST OF 



^ Hat^dy Perpetual ^oses. ^ 



We import our Roses from the most extensive Rose Grower in England. The best plants only ar« 

 ordered; they will compare most favorably with plants listed at much higher prices. 



As to hardiness, our Roses are unequalled. They are grown in close proximity to the sea, in a very 

 exposed situation, thus rendering them the most suitable of any for enduring our severe winters suc- 

 cessfully. 



The Hybrid Perpetuals are among the most beautiful, popular and invaluable roses. In the size of 

 the flowers, form, fragrance, and remarkable depth and richness of the colors of many varieties, and 

 the delicacy of others, they surpass all other roses. They are generally of easy culture in any good, 

 rich soil. Our collection includes the foUowiuj^ and other choice sorts.
