NEW HARDY 

 HYBRID PERPETUAl 



ROSES. 



Since tlie introduction of tlie now so popula.> 

 Rose. Frau Karl Druschki, which was first offeree 

 in litUO, nothing new in the Hybrid Perpetua 

 class has been placed on the market which appealec 

 lo us as being particularly meritorious; in fact 

 the efforts of hybridizers ajipeared to centre on 

 other types, particularly the Hybrid-Tea varieties 

 It gives us pleasure to be in position to offer three 

 lirst-class novelties in this class, which we are cer- 

 tain will be welcomed by the many admirers o' 

 this type of Rose, 



George Arends. This is a pink, or rather t 



ti-nder-rose colored form of the so popular whitf 



Rose, 1-rau Karl Druschki, jjossessing not onl) 



the noble form, large size and remarkable free 



flowering habit of its parent, but. in addition tc 



this, it is a'io liighly perfumed. We feel confident from whaS 



we have seen of this variety that it will be one of the mos; 



jwpular Roses of the future. We offer a limited stock oi 



strong two-year-old plants, $1.50 each. 



Gloire de Chedane Guinoisseau. We have always recom 

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

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

 trial grounds the past summer this newcomer not only cquallec 

 but surpassed it in size of flower, form and in brilliancy of color, 

 which is of a bright vermilion-red with velvety shadings; i 

 splendid acquisition. (See cut on opposite page.) Strong 

 two-year-old plants, 75 els. each; $7.50 per doz. 



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

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

 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 its popularity is secured. Ktrong two-year-old 

 plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



One each of the 3 New Hardy Garden Roses for $2.50. 



THE TWELVE "BEST" HARDY GARDEN ROSES.

The twelve varieties listed below have been offered under this heading with a view of supplying the amateur, who is not familia* 

 with the various varieties, and to whom a selection from the long list of Hybrid Perpetuals mu-^t necessarily prove confusing, as »

 ing, perfect form, fragrance, hardiness and general excellence.
