NEW HARDY 

 HYBRID PERPETUAL 



ROSES. 



Since the introduction of the now so popular 

 Rose, Frau Karl Druschki, which was first offered 

 in 1900, nothing new in the Hybrid Perpetual 

 class has been placed on the market which appealed 

 to us as being particularly meritorious; in fact, 

 the eflorts of hybridizers appeared to centre on 

 other types, particularly the Hybrid-Tea varieties. 

 We offered the three varieties below for the first 

 time iast year, and from numerous reports we are 

 convinced that our customers are more than pleased 

 with them. 



George A rends, or Pink Frau Karl 

 / Druschki. This is a pink, or rather a tender- 



rose colored foim of the popular white Rose, 

 Frau Karl Druschki, possessing not only the 

 noble form, large size and remarkable free- 

 owering habit of its parent, but, in addition to this, it is also 

 ighly perfumed. We feel confident that 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 Guinoisseau. We have always recom- 

 mended the Rose, Ulrich Brunner, as such a standard of perfec- 

 tion that we hesitate to compare another variety to it, but in our 

 trial grounds this newcomer not only equals but surpasses in size 

 f flower, form and in brilliancy of color, which is of a bright 

 vermilion-red with velvety shadings; a splendid acquisition. 

 (See cut on opposite page.) Strong two-year-old plants, 75 

 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



President Kruger. We found this variety some five years since in the southern part of Germany, the grower being unable to 

 inform us who the introducer was. In our own exhibits of Roses during the past four years it was one that attracted great 

 attention. The flowers, though small compared to many of the Hybrid Perpetual varieties, are of a rich crimson-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. 



One each of the 3 New Hardy Garden Roses for $2.00. 



THE TWELVE "BEST" HARDY GARDEN ROSES. 



(HYBRID PERPETUALS.) 



The twelve varieties listed below have been offered under this heading with a view of supplying the amateur, wno .s not familiar 

 with the various varieties, and to whom a selection from the long list of Hybrid Perpetuals must necessarily prove confusing, as a 

 collection which combines as varied a range of color as can be brought together in such a number of plants, with freedom of flower- 

 ing, 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 174 should assist the amateur in getting the largest meas- 

 ure of success from these plants.
