HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL 



ROSES. 



George Arends, or Pink Frau Karl Druschki. 



This is a pink, or ratlier 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 tliat this 

 variety will be one of the most popular Roses of 

 the future. .Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. 

 each; $7.50 per doz. 



Qloire 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 vermilion-red with velvety shad- 

 ings; a splendid acquisition. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 

 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



President Kruger. In our exhibits of Roses this has at- 

 tracted great attention. The flowers, though small compared 

 to many of the Hybrid Perjietual varieties, are of a rich crim- 

 son-scarlet color, which is intensified by velvety black shadings, 

 a brilliancy of color that insures its popularity. Strong two- 

 year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 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 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 their main crop is produced in June, they frequently produce fine flowers 

 throughout the summer and autumn. The cultural hints given on page 156 should assist the amateur in getting the largest meas- 

 ure 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 

 strengtli.
