Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses 



THE Hybrid Perpetuals are considered the most 

 valuable of all Roses, because they bear the 

 largest, sweetest and 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 

 grand flowers are of all shades of red, crim- 

 son, scarlet, pink and white, but no yel- 

 lows. They thrive and bloom finely in all 

 sections of the country and 

 should generally be planted in 

 open ground, as but few varie- 

 ties are suitable for house cul- 

 ture. Some kinds do not bloom 

 till the second year, but when 

 fully established bloom regu- 

 larly at the usual time, and 

 occasionally during the 

 Summer and Fall months. 

 Though called "Perpetual," 

 they are not constant bloom- 

 ers, but are the finest and 

 most beautiful of all Hardy 

 Roses. We offer the Choic- 

 est and Most Beautiful "Va- 

 rieties in Cultivation, and send 

 Strong Healthy Plants from 2% and 

 3-inch Pots, all on their own roots. 

 Persons who order at the single 

 rate may select to value of 20 ots. 

 additional on every dollar sent.
