a 
“The : [par Harbor ” Collection of | 
ee ee | welde. Flardy fRoses. 
HE “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. 
"1 No. 1. This is, we believe, the finest 
ars. Fobn Laing. hardy Rose of its color ever offered. 
It is an exquisite shade of shell-like pink, deliciously fragrant, of 
the largest size, entirely hardy and ever-blooming. (See cut.) 
Prince Camille de Roban, No-,2. one of the grand: 
est hardy red Roses and 
unapproached in color. It is best described as a blackish crimson, 
though that is far from giving an adequate idea of the rich velvety 
color. It is sometimes called ‘*The Black Jack,” because it re- 
sembles Gen. Jacqueminot in everything but its grand deep color- 
ing. In the bud it is darkest; as the flower exposes, vivid, smoky 
crimson shades are brought to light, giving it a very rich effect. 
(See cut.) 
. No. 3. Flowers large and beautiful, either in 
La_ France, 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 de- 
liciously fragrant. (See cut.) 
Wo. 4. This splendid pink hardy Rose 
Suminer Queen. is of remarkably healthy, vigorous 
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 andform. Some idea 
of its enormously productive qualities can be obtained from the 
fact that as many as twelve hundred flowers have been cut from a single 
plant, arecord seldom equaled and never surpassed 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.) 
Perfection des Blanches. 7o.¢ ana 
freest-blooming of the hardy white Roses. It isa 
finely formed, pure white variety, but occasionally 
shows light blush when first opening. Beautiful 
shell-shaped petals, evenly arranged. Flowers 
good size, perfect, and of fine formand finish. One 
of the finest, freest, and most beautiful of the 
white Hybrids. Almost as free a 
bloomer as the Teas. Very suitable 
for cemetery planting and for hedges, 
as it makes a é : Eee 
beautiful bush. Sis Beene amet

No. 6. This fine variety possesses all the desir- 
Dinsmore. able qualities of a bedding 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.)
