The Twelve "Best" 



ardy Qarder 



ROSES. 





The twelve varieties listed below have been of- 

 fered under this heading with a view of supplying 

 the amateur, who is nut familiar with the various 

 varieties, and to whom a selection from the long list 

 of Hybrid Peroetuals must necessarily prove confus- 

 ing, as a collection which combines as varied a ringe 

 of color as can be brought together in such a number 

 of plants, with freedom of flowering, perfect form, Ij 

 fragrance, hardiness and general excellence. 



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 

 produce fine flowers throughout the summer and autumn. 

 The cultural hints given on page 163 should assist the ama- 

 teur in getting out the largest measure of success from these 

 tolants.

Hybrid Perpetual Rose 



American Beauty. 



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 flnest 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.
