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 in size, hardiness, vigor, pro- 

 ductiveness or some other characteristic that is necessary to make a good rose. 



Varieties marked with an * are grown on their own roots. This class of stock gives much better satisfaction to the general 

 planter than budded or grafted plants; however, some of the finest varieties will not lend themselves readily to this system of 

 culture and will not produce good plants on their own roots. In such cases we offer the best low budded stock obtainable. Care 

 should be taken in planting budded stock to set out deeply, planting them at least two inches below the point where budded, 

 which prevents the stock from suckering to a very great extent.
