BEST PLANTS FOR 



American Beauty. 



Gknekal Jacquimenot. 



HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



In tlie 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 sorls listed are superior in size, 

 hardiness, vigor, productiveness or some other charaeteristic 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 

 appc.irauce of a body of miscellaneous varieties, whosedemand for favor lies simply in that they are "different."

 and very sweet; bright clear cherry red, shaded with
