84 ELLWAN'GER & BARBY'S CATALOGUE. 



SELECT ROSES. 



IN TWO DIVISIONS. 



Division 1.— HARDY SUMMER ROSES, including the Provence, Damaskr 

 Hybrid China, Austrian or Yellow Roses, Moss, Prairie, Boursault, Multiflora, and 

 all those that bloom but once in the season. 



Division 2.— PERPETUAL, OR REMONTANT ROSES, including Hybrid Per- 

 petual, Perpetual Moss, Bourbons, Noisettes, Bengals and Teas. 



Purchasers unacquainted with the different varieties of Roses, will do well to leave 

 the selection to us, stating for what situation, purpose, &c., they intend them, and 

 whether June or Perpetual blossoming varieties. In such cases we can send strong 

 and fine plants, and pledge ourselves to send only good sorts, that cannot fail to give 

 satisfaction. Those who make their own selections are requested to state if any 

 others may be sent, in case those named cannot be had. 



Those who are interested in Rose culture, are invited to visit our grounds from the 

 middle of June till the beginning of July, when all classes are in bloom. The Per- 

 petuals can be seen from June to October. 



As a matter of interest, we have collected from reliable sources the names of the 

 raisers and the year when the plants were sent out. We believe this feature has 

 never before been attempted, and will be found of use to the amateur, more par- 

 ticularly in the selection of new varieties. 



Some superior varieties in each class, will be found printed in CAPITALS. 



ABBREVIATIONS USED :— Habit of growth, vig. for vigorous ; rob. for robust ;
