Two New 



HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL 



ROSES. 



George Arends, or Pink Frau Karl Druschki. 



This is a pink, or rather a tender rose-colored form of 

 the popular white Rose, Frau Karl Druschki, 

 possessing not only the noble form, large size and 

 remarkable free-flowering habit of its parent, but 

 in addition to this it is also highly perfumed. We 

 feel confident that this variety will be one of the 

 most popular Roses of the future. 



Gloire de Chedane Quinoisseau. We have 

 always recommended the Rose, Ulrich Brun- 

 ner, as such a standard of perfection that we 

 hesitate to compare another variety to it, but 

 in our trial grounds this newcomer not only 

 equals but surpasses in size of flower, form and 

 in brilliancy of color, which is of a bright ver- 

 milion-red with velvety shadings; a splendid 

 acquisition. 



Strong two-year-old plants of the above 75 cts. each; $7.50 

 per doz. One each for $1.25. 



HYBRID PERPETITAI. ROSE) 



"Al^IERICAN BEAUTY.»> 



We can supply this beautiful forcing Rose, but do not recom- 

 mend it for outdoor culture. While it is undoubtedly one of the 

 finest Roses when grown under glass under the care of the special- 

 ist, it is, as a rule, worthless out of doors, except in favored 

 locations, and we only carry it in stock in the spring of the year 

 to supply customers who insist on trying it. Strong two-year-old 

 plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



THE TWELVE "BEST" HARDY GARDEN ROSES. 



HYBRID PERPETUALS. 



The twelve varieties listed below are unquestionably the best dozen that can be selected in the Hybrid Perpetual class, which, 

 before the development of the Hybrid-Teas, was the most popular type for garden planting, and even now they dare not be over- 

 looked, but should be used extensively in conjunction with the other sorts, and especially so in localities where the hardiness of the 

 Hybrid-Tea varieties has not been established. The collection here offered enibraces as complete a range of colors as it is possible 

 to bring together in such a number of plants, with freedom of flowering, perfect form, fragrance, hardiness and general excellence. 



The plants offered are exceptionally heavy two=year=old stock, which will, under ordinary conditions, 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 166 should assist the amateur in getting the largest measure 

 of success from these plants. 



Pruning. Cut away all weak growth, and if quality of bloom is desired, cut back the strong canes to within 8 or 9 inches of the 

 ground, but if quantity of bloom for garden effect is desired, leave these canes from 2 to 3 feet high, according to their strength.

double, fragrant flowers; a strong grower.
