SELECT- ROSES' 



The Twelve " Best" 



Hardy Garden 



ROSES. 



(Hybrid Perpetuals.) 



The twelve varieties listed below have been offered under this 

 heading with a view of supplying the amateur, who is not famil 

 >ar with the various varieties, and to whom a selection from the 

 rong list of Hybrid Perpetuals must necessarily prove confusing, 

 as a collection which combines as varied a range of color as can 

 be brought together in such a number of plants, with freedom of 

 flowering, perfect form, fragrance, hardiness and general excel- 

 lence. 



The plants offered are exceptionally heavy two- 

 year=old stock, which will, under ordinary condi- 

 tions, give a full crop of flowers this season; and 

 while their main crop is produced in June, they frequently pro- 

 duce fine flowers throughout the summer and autumn. The 

 cultural hints given on page 17") should assist the amateur in 

 getting the largest measure of success from these plants.

Hybrid Perpetual Rose 



American Beauty. 



We can supply this beautiful forcing Rose in strong 

 two-year-old plants, but do not recommend it for out- 

 door'cullure. While it is undoubtedly one of the finest 

 Roses when grown under glass under the care of the 

 specialist, it is, as a rule, worthless out of doors, and we 

 onlv carry it in stock in the spring of the year to supply 

 customers who insist on trying it. 50 cts. each; $. r ).00 

 per doz.
