HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



In the list offered we believe that the range of color comprises all the distinct and really valuable shades. Many 

 sorts have been left out, not because they are of no value in themselves, but that the sorts listed are superior ia size, 

 hardiness, vigor, productiveness or some other cliaracteristic that is necessary to make a good rose. 



The best effects are produced where masses of few colors are used, thereby avoiding the uneven and checker-board 

 appearance of a body of miscellaneous varieties, whose demand for favor lies simply in that they are "different." 



Alfred Colomb. A splendid rose ; larjce, globular, full, I Geant des Batailles. Bright scarlet crimson. 



and very sweet ; bright clear cherry red, shaded with (General Jacquimenot. Brilliant scarlet crimson, a 

 ' most superb and glowing color ; large flowers. 



General Washington. Very double crimson. 



Helen Paul. Very large and fragrant, globular, pure 

 white, sometimes tinted rose. 



Her Majesty. Of immense size, perfect symmetr)-, and 

 a lovely shade of rose pink-tinted flesh color. The 

 claims made for it as a forcing rose have hardly beeu 

 borne out, but we consider it extremely valuable as an 

 out-door rose. As a pillar rose for the South it will 

 be found valuable, as it has a tendency to climb.

 dark carmine. 



John Hopper. Bright rose, carmine centre; flowers 

 large, cupped, and well foj-med.

 grant ; a splendid variety.
