FOR the real pinnacle of gardening, 

 select the rose as your hobby. 

 You may grow roses merely for 

 the enjoyment of the work and the 

 flowers, or you may, as many rosarians 

 do, keep records of the behavior of 

 each bush and variety, thereby adding 

 to the sum total of knowledge on the 

 rose. Either way, it is a grand and 

 inspiring pastime. 



With the exception of Rosa Rugosa, 

 the ''perpetuals" are the hardiest of all 

 roses. 



The numerous kinds, especially of 

 recent introduction, embrace some of 

 the greatest acquisitions to the flower 

 garden, being of the largest size, rich 

 in color, and of delightful fragrance. 



In order to obtain the finest flowers, 

 prune severely in early spring, manure 

 liberally and keep the soil well culti- 

 vated. 



Alfred Colomb — A carmine-crimson rose that 

 will more than satisfy a connoisseur. 



American Beauty — A crimson sort which has 

 long stood as a synonym for beauty and grace 

 wherever roses are mentioned. 

 Anna de Diesbach — A clear, rosy carmine with 

 very large flowers. Especially hardy for north- 

 ern growth, and very free flowering. 



Coquette des Alps — An old favorite. Pure 

 white with delicate blush upon first opening. 

 Frau Karl Druschki — The most popular of all 

 white roses, and very nearly at the top of all va- 

 rieties. It is extremely difficult to find a flaw in 

 this rose, for it is unsurpassed in growth, foli- 

 age, hardiness, form and lasting qualities. 



General Jacqueminot — An old favorite of bril- 

 liant crimson. Large and full. The fragrance 

 of this variety is strong and delightful. 



Mad. Gabriel Luizet — A light pink rose of ex- 

 cellent quality. Flowers are very shapely and 

 particularly attractive. 



Magna Charta — A bright rosy carmine flower 

 of unusual depth and size. The blooms are 

 very full. 



Mrs. John Laing — One of the most profuse 

 bloomers among soft-pink sorts. Very large in 

 bud and flowers, though of but moderate fra- 

 grance. 



MRS. JOHN LAING 



Paul Neyron — This shining pink beauty is un- 

 questionably the largest of all roses, and its 

 charm is augmented by a delicate and delight- 

 ful perfume. 



Soleil d'Or — This Perentiana possesses possibly 

 the most attractive color of any rose. It is a 

 bronze yellow, approaching reddish gold, with 

 an overlay of nasturtium red. Very large 

 and extremely popular. 



Ulrich Brunner — This large Hybrid Perpetual 

 rose is a distinctive cherry red of great bril- 

 liance, and bears a pleasing scent.
