HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 
We import our Roses from the most extensive grower in Europe. The best plants only are 
ordered and they will compare most favorably with plants listed at much higher prices. 
For hardiness, our Roses are unequaled. They are grown in close proximity to the sea, ina 
very exposed situation, thus rendering them the most suitable of any for successfully enduring 
our severe winters. 
The Hybrid Perpetuals are among the most beautiful, popular and valuable 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. They should be planted 
very deep, and in summer if the weather is dry, water should be applied liberally. Applications of suds of whale- 
oil soap, soon after the leaves appear, will protect from slugs. See /xsecticides.
