GENERAL COLLECTION OP 



Hardy Hybrid Perpetual 



ROSES. 



The list offered below, togeiher with the twelve " best" offered 

 on page 162, and the set of 25 Iiish-grown varieties on page 163, 

 comprises all the distinct and really valuable shades. Many sorts 

 have been left out, not bec.mse they are of no value, but that the 

 sorts listed are superior in size, hardiness, vigor, productiveness, or 

 some other characteristic that is necessary to make a good Rose. 



As far as possible we furnish plants on their own roots ; bul 

 many of the finest varieties will not produce good plants in 

 this way. In such cases we offer the best low-budded stock 

 obtainable, preference being given to home-grown stock budded on 

 Manetti, which is the most desirable for our climate. Care should 

 be taken in planting budded stock to set out deeply, planting them 

 at least two inches below the point where budded, which prevents, 

 to a great extent, the stock from suckering. 



For our selection of the twelve best Hybrid Perpetual Hoses,
