New Hyrrid- Perpetual Rose George Arends 



THE 



FIFTEEN BEST 



HARDY GARDEN 



HYBRID-PERPETUAL 



ROSES 



The fifteen varieties listed below are unques- 

 tionably the best that can be selected in the 

 Hybrid- Perpetual class, which before the de- 

 velopment of the Hybrid-Teas, was the most 

 popular type for garden planting, and even now 

 they dare not be overlooked, 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 estab- 

 lished. The collection here offered embraces 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 the 

 main crop is produced in June, they frequently produce fine 

 flowers throughout the summer and autumn. The cultural hir.ts 

 given on page 155 should assist the amateur in getting the largest 

 measure of success from these plants. 



In pruning Hybrid- Perpetuals 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, accord- 

 ing to their strength.

Hybrid=Perpetual Rose " AMERICAN BEAUTY " 



We can supply this beautiful forcing Rose, but do not recommend it for garden 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, except in favored locations, 

 i 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, 60 

 i each; $6.00 per doz. 



Our " Liberty " collection of Hybrid-Tan Roses are exclusively American. See page 1 63
