New Hybrid -Perpetual 

 Rose 



Mme. Albert Barbier 



Introduced two years ago, this remarkable Rose has 

 quickly found its place in popular favor. In its habit of 

 flowering it is as free as many of the popular Hybrid-Tea 

 varieties, its seed parent is Frau Karl Druschki, from which 

 it has inherited a strong, clean, vigorous growth, its buds 

 are long and well formed of a pearly white color suffused 

 with soft, salmony flesh and develop into large, full double 

 imbricated flowers of splendid form which as they expand, 

 show a golden apricot suffused centre. A gem in every 

 respect. $1.50 each. 



HYBRID-PERPETUAL ROSES 



The varieties listed below are unquestionably the best 

 that can be selected in the Hybrid-Perpetual class which, 

 before the development of the Hybrid-Teas, was the most 

 popular type for garden planting, and even now they dare not be 

 overlooked, but should be used extensively in conjunction with the 

 other sorts, and especially so in localities where the hardiness of 

 the Hybrid-Tea varieties has not been established. 



Gloire de Chedane Guinnoiseau . Largeglobular vermilion red. 



Mrs. John Laing. Soft pink of splendid form, exceedingly 

 fragrant and very free flowering. 



Mrs. R. G. Sharman Crawford. Deep rosy pink, outer 

 petals shaded with flesh, one of the freest bloomers and a splen- 

 did Rose in every respect. 



Magna Charta. Bright pink, suffused with carmine. 



Paul Neyron. Deep rose, of immense size. 



Prince Camille de Rohan. Deep velvety crimson-maroon. 



Ulrich Brunner. A bright cherry red. 



Price. Any of the above, in extra strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $11.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100. 

 Special Offer. One each of the above 16 varieties, a splendid collection of these absolutely hardy Roses for $14.50. 



Two Dr. W. Van Fleet Roses 



Introduced by the American Rose Society 



The two varieties offered below were raised by the late Dr. Van Fleet while connected with the U: S. Department of Agriculture; 

 the descriptions are official from the Department. 



Dr. E. M. Mills (Hybrid Hugonis) (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1926). 

 An early-blooming, spreading shrub Rose, 3 to 4 feet high, similar 

 to the graceful Scotch Roses in its habit and in its manner of 

 spreading by underground rootstocks. Foliage is small and 

 deep green, and the new growth is almost thornless, with sharp, 

 straight thorns on the mature wood. Flowers are medium size 

 (2 to 2J inches across), semi-double, peculiarly globular in shape, 

 and profusely produced along and around the arching branches. 

 They are primrose color, with a pink suffusion which becomes 

 more pronounced in the later blooms. 



Either of the above 



Sarah Van Fleet {Hybrid Rugosa) (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1926). 

 The plant is of erect and spreading habit, with medium green 

 Rugosa-type foliage. It is a vigorous grower, very hardy, with 

 flowers having three to four rows of petals, opens flat, shows 

 stamens; color, wild rose-pink; form, cupped; fragrance, mod- 

 erate; bud, medium size; petalage, twenty to thirty; freedom of 

 bloom and lasting quality, excellent. The Rose is distinct from 

 all the Rugosa hybrids in purity of color and continuity of flow- 

 ering, and is considered as a decided improvement in the race, 

 varieties, $2.00 each.
