HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



The Hybrid Ferpetuals are considered the most valuable of all Roses, l)ecause they bear the 

 'largest, sweetest, aud most brilliant colored flowers, and are so hardy and vigorous they live 

 over winter without protection, and continue to bloom regularly from year to year. Their gmnd 

 liowers 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 open ground, 

 as but few varieties are suitable for house culture. Some kinds do not bloom till the second 

 year, but wheu fully established bloom reguLirly at the usual time, and occasionally during the 

 summer and fall months. Though called "Perpetual," they are not constant bloomers, but 

 are the finest and most beautiful of all Hardy Roses. We offer the choicest and most beautiful 

 varieties in cultivation. Persons who order at the single rate may select to value of 

 20 cts. additional on every dollar sent.
