THE PIONEER OF A NEW RACE OF HARDY ROSES 



I have one of the first Hugonis Roses you 

 sold, and it is a wonderful plant, the gem of 

 my whole collection. We had a temperature 

 of 6 degTees below zero last winter and the 

 tips did not freeze back more than one-fourth 

 of an inch. — E. A. Upton, Landscape Gar-
