THE "BAR HARBOR" COLLECTION OF TWELVE HARDY ROSES. 



(A.L.L, PERFECTI^V HARDV IN THE NORTHERN STATES.) 



The " Bar Harbor " collection of twelve hardy Roses, named below, are unequaled in their class, combining the greatest variety of 

 form, richness of color and freedom of bloom which it is possible to get in that number. The first and second sizes will bloom this year, 

 and the third will make fine plants for next season's flowering. Where twelve sorts are wanted, we believe it would be impossible to 

 improve on this selection, and even if more are wanted a larger number of collections could be obtained with the best results. Want of 

 space alone prevents us from illustrating each one, and where all are so good, it was difficult to select for illustrating.

ANNA ALEX1EFF. 



A grandly beautiful hardy Rose, large, full double flowers ; a 

 beautiful rose color, and produced in wonderful profusion. The 

 foliage is handsome, massive and luxuriant ; taken in its entirety, 

 this may be considered one of our very best hardy Roses. (See 

 cut.) 



No. 2. GLOIRE DE HARGOTTIN. 



This fine hardy Rose is distinguished alike for its vigorous, 

 healthy constitution, freedom of bloom and handsome foliage; 

 but, beyond all, it is decidedly the most brilliant hardy red Rose 

 as yet introduced. So intense is the color that it might almost be 

 termed a scarlet. Added to these qualities, it has flowers of the 

 largest size and most exquisite fragrance. It will prove hardy 

 everywhere. (See cut.) 



No 3. LA FRANCE. 



Flowers large and beautiful, either in the bud form or when 

 expanded ; peach-blossom color, shaded pink and silvery rose. 

 It is very free-blooming, every shoot forming a beautiful flower. 

 In addition to this, it is entirely hardy with a slight protection 

 of leaves, and most deliciously fragrant. (See cut.) 



No. 4. SUfiriER QUEEN. 



This splendid pink hardy Rose is of remarkably healthy, vigor- 

 ous growth and wonderful blooming qualities, surpassing all 

 other true Hybrid Perpetuals in this respect, and fully the equal 

 of the best among them in point of size, fragrance and form. 

 Some idea of its enormously productive qualities can be obtained 

 from the fact that as many as twelve hundred flowers ftrwte been 

 cut from a single plant, a record seldom equaled and never sur- 

 passed by any other variety. The origin of this grand variety is 

 not clear, hence we have given it the name of " Summer Queen " 

 conditionally. In color it is a bright silvery pink, full and 

 double. (See cut.) 



No. 5. PERFECTION DES BLANCHES. 



The best and freest-blooming of the hardy white 

 Roses. It is a finely formed, pure white variety, 

 but occasionally ghows light blush when first open- 

 ing. Beautiful shell-shaped petals, evenly arranged. 

 Flowers good size, perfect, and of fine form and || 

 finish. One of the finest, freest, and most beau- w

No. 6. DINSriORE. 



This fine variety possesses all the desirable qualities of a bed- 

 ding Rose — good color, fine form, a profuse bloomer, and stands 

 the rigor of our Northern winters without protection. The flowers 

 are large, perfectly double, and of a dazzling scarlet crimson 

 color, and have that rich, spicy fragrance peculiar to the best 

 hybrid Roses. (See cut and description, page 113.) 



AMERICAN BEAUTY. 



Rich carmine crimson. (See cut and description, page 112.) 



ANNA DE DIESBACH. 

 Dark rich pink ; immense size ; one of the finest hardy Roses.

 carmine. Form of flowers, bold and handsome ; very fragrant. 



CAPT. CHRISTY.

 from the time it is planted until frost. (See cut, page 113.)
