HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 



The Hybrid Perpetuals are considered the most valuable of all Roses, because they bear the largest, sweetest, and most brilliantly 

 colored flowers, and are so hardy and vigorous they live over winter with slight protection, and continue to bloom regularly from 

 year to year. Their grand flowers are of all shades of red, crimson, scarlet, pink and white, but no yellows. They thrive and bloom 

 finely in all sections of the country, and should generally be planted in the open ground, as but few varieties are suitable for house 

 culture. Some kinds do not bloom till the second year, but when fully established bloom regularly at the usual time and occasionally 

 during the summer and fall months. Though called "Perpetual," they are not constant bloomers, except a few as offered on page 41, 

 but are the finest and most beautiful of all hardy Roses. 



Pruning Hybrid Perpetuals 



For Exhibition Purposes. All dead, weak and unripe shoots should be cut clean out and the center of the plant thinned to 

 admit air and sunshine; the stronger and well-ripened shoots should be cut back to three or four eyes. In May, or as soon as the 

 flower buds have been formed, it may be necessary to remove weak growths and also those that are not required, and so throw all 

 the strength into the most promising growths. 



For Garden Decoration follow the instructions for exhibition, except in pruning do not cut the shoots to less than four or 

 six eyes, allowing more growth to remain. 



"^Ainericail Be&utV. Color, deep pink to crimson, and intensely 

 ~ fragrant. 



We offer the choicest and most 

 beautiful varieties in cultivation, 

 and send strong, healthy plants. 



This is a most beautiful Rose and 



a great favorite in some sections of the country where it thrives 



abundantly in the open ground. In the cut-flower realm it 



reigns supreme; think of blooms 4 inches across on stems 



4 feet long, for so they grow under glass. Is it any 



wonder they command a price of $5.00 per dozen 



and often more, and figure prominently in floral 



decorations of the most important public and 



social functions. There is a large demand for 



American Beauty and we supply fine, strong 



plants in l-yr. size, at 25 cts. each, ppd; 2-yr. 



size, 50 cts. each; Star size, 75 cts. each, by exp. 



Last year and the one previous I bought some of your 

 roses. This year I have reaped a bountiful harvest 

 of blossoms. An American Beauty two years old had 

 4S blossoms. I am more than delighted; I am just 

 crazy over them.
