HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 



THE DEPENDABLE HARDY JUNE BLOOMERS 



This family of Roses are perfectly at home in the North because they are 

 very hardy, though winter protection will not hurt them a bit. A few of them, 

 like Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, Georg Arends, and some others, 

 do bloom again in the late summer or autumn, but the majorit}^ do not deserve 

 the name Perpetual as to bloom. No word, however, can describe their 

 appearance in June, when they burst hke silent fireworks, glorifying the 

 garden with a profusion of giant, fragrant Roses, radiant in white, red and 

 pink, with the new Mme. Albert Barbier the only yellow. 



Some kinds, Hke General Jacqueminot, Ulrich Brunner, and Magna 

 Charta, and even Frau Karl Druschki, will be bothered with both mildew 

 and black-spot if these diseases are prevalent near by and unchecked. For- 

 tunately, there is now a way to control these fungous diseases by dusting 

 with powdered sulphur and arsenate of lead, mixed in the proper proportions. 

 We offer these materials properly mixed as "Star Rose Dust." 



During the weeks of June and early July, the Hybrid Perpetuals produce far 

 more flowers than any everblooming sort (see cut, page 53), and almost all of 

 them can be made to bloom in the fall by proper pruning and feeding, but they 

 are altogether worth while for their unique June splendor alone. In this class 

 are found the noblest red Roses, filled to the brim with true Rose perfume, and 

 old varieties as rich in their heri- 

 tage of sentiment as in beauty. ^-^-^M^^;;^^ Frau Karl Druschki. The finest
