The Twelve ‘‘Best”’ 
Hardy Garden 
ROSES. 
(Hybrid Perpetuals.) 
The twelve varieties listed belew have been offered under this 
heading with a view of supplying the amateur, who is not famil- 
jar with the various varieties, and to whom a selection from the 
long 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 159 should assist the amateur in 
getting out the largest measure of success from these plants.

We can supply this beautiful forcing Rose in strong two- 
year-old plants, but do not recommend it for outdoor culture. 
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 only carry it in stock in the 
spring of the year to supply customers who insist on trying it.
