Entire 17 Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses Offered Here Only $14.50 



This is the great Hybrid Perpetual class, noted for extreme hardiness and robust growth. The flowers are very large 

 and come in a lavish display in June. The eight marked with ■# bloom more than once in a season; in fact, the yellow one, 

 Mme. Albert Barbier, blooms as freely as a Hybrid Tea. These are the old-fashioned class of Roses our grandmothers 

 knew, and no Rose-garden is complete without some hardy Hybrid Perpetuals. 



•DRUSCHKI RUBRA. ♦Dull crimson. A hybrid 

 of Frau Karl Drusehki and Luise Lilia. See color 

 and form above. The bud and bloom have the 

 same size and form as Frau Karl Drusehki, but the 

 color is a dull crimson, lightening to scarlet around 

 the edge of the petals. It has delightful true rose 

 perfume. A strong growing plant and recurrent in 

 bloom. $1.50 each. 



•FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI. ♦ Snow-white. The 

 most famous white Rose in existence. It is snow- 

 white, with long buds that are shaded pink and 

 open to immense, perfectly double flowers often 

 4 inches across. The plant is a strong, vigorous 

 grower, sometimes attaining 6 to 8 feet. It should be 

 pruned moderately and will give some blooms all 

 summer and until frost. SI each. 



• GENERAL JACQUEMINOT. A clear red that 

 has been a favorite for years. It is a very hardy Rose 

 which may be carefully pruned for fine, fragrant 

 flowers or allowed to make a big bush which wJII be 

 like a huge bonfire of bloom. SI each. 



Noted for free 

 bloom 



• ANNA DE DIESBACH (Gloire de Paris). Carmine-pmk 

 of a beautiful shade; flowers are extra large, fufl and sweet. The 

 plant is vigorous, very hardy, and blooms profusely in June. 

 If the bloom-stems are pruned low, it may bloom again in the 

 fall. SI each. 



•ANNIE CRAWFORD. Bright pink with deeper veins; 

 SNveetly perfumed. Blooms in clusters on long stems. Vigorous 

 growling. SI each. 



• HENRY NEVARD. ♦ A crimson-scarlet, ovoid 

 bud that becomes an extremely double bloom of 

 old-fashioned form. See color and form on opposite 

 page. Prune low in the spring and cut long stems to 

 keep it blooming. It is very lasting and is unusually 

 fragrarvt. In our opinion this is the ideal red Hybrid 

 Perpetual. $1.25 each. 



• JOHN RUSSELL. Scarlet. The bud is like a 

 ball of ghstening scarlet resting on a crimson cushion 

 formed by the recurving outer petals. The plant is 

 very hardy, vigorous, and upright in growi:h. Nearly 

 perfect in form, but not fragrant. SI each. 



• LOUISE CRETTE. Flower snow-white with a 

 creamy center, extra large, very double, of perfect 

 form, opening well; some fragrance. Growth vigor- 

 ous, almost thornless. One of the finest and largest 

 white Roses. SI each. 



•MME. ALBERT BARBIER. ♦ Tawny 

 yellow. This Rose has 

 our unreserved recom- 

 mendation as the most 



continuous blooming variety 



in this very hardy class. The 



large, long-petaled flowers are 



tawny yellow in the center 



withacream collarette. Growth 



is sturdy and upright. The 



blooms come singly on rigid 



pedicels, making this a choice 



Rose for cutting. On account 



of its hardiness it is the best 



yellow everblooming Rose for 



the North. See the color illus- 

 tration in the center of the 



page. This comes the nearest 



to yellow of any In this class. 



SI each. 



• MAGNA CHARTA. True rose-pink in its clearest shade. 

 An extremely heavy spring bloomer. The flowers are verj"" 

 large, cup-shaped, and very lull, with the rich, spicy fragrance 

 of the old-time Roses. SI each. 



•MRS. JOHN LAING. ♦ Solid pink. See color, page 24. 

 Long-pointed buds which unfold to full, fragrant flowers of 

 cup-fifce form. The color is solid pink, the form is distinct, and 

 the plant is vigorous and erect in growth. A recurrent bloomer 

 and one of the best of this class. $i each. 



•President Briand 



•PAUL NEYRON. ♦ VeTv double rose-pink 

 blooms of mammoth size which make a wonderful 

 show. Its great size and fragrance are its strong 

 points. An almost thornless Rose, hardy, and usually 

 ready to give another crop of blooms in the fall. One 

 of the most notable Hybrid Perpetuals. SI each. 



• PRESIDENT BRIAND. ♦ Bright pink. See 

 color illustration in upper corner. It sends out two 

 or three crops of big, "peony" blooms. The bright 

 pink flower has a salmon suffusion, and it is long 

 lasting, either on the bush or when cut. The plant is 

 vigorous and extremely hardy. SI each. 



•PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN. Dark 



velvety purple-crimson flowers of fair size, and 



doubtless the nearest black Rose in commerce. Do 



not confuse it with the Black Prince, an inferior 



Rose, for Prince Camille has larger flowers 



hich are intensely fragrant. $1 each. 



•Mrs. John Laing

 progeny, and a fair representative of the new Hybrid 

 Perpetuals. The blooms are a luscious creamy 

 pinK, beautifully formed and enormous in size.

 must be pruned lightly. $1.50 each., 



• S. M. GUSTAV V. ♦ Neyron-pink. The bud is 

 ovoid and the bloom of large size and double, beauti- 

 fully imbricated, is solid Neyron-pink and sweedy 

 perfumed. It is one of the most finished Roses in the 

 Hybrid Perpetual class. Healthy and vigorous, it

 at brief intervals during the summer. In the fall the 

 blooms are really superb. SI each.

 fragrant blooms. Long
