TWENTY BEST HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



Remarkable for their 

 vigorous growth, im- 

 lueiise bloom, hardiness, 

 tine colors, and agreeable 

 fragrance. Thev suc- 

 ceed well wherever Roses 

 can be grown at all, and 

 owing to their strong 

 and robust habit are 

 best suited for outdoor 

 culture. They are of 

 easy culture and will 

 thrive with but little 

 care, but are much im- 

 proved by clean cultiva- 

 tion and' liberal manur- 

 ing. Mulching in sum- 

 mer is beneficial; they 

 should liave protection 

 in winter to produce the 

 finest flowers. The 

 largest roses and those 

 of the most glowing and 

 intense colors are found 

 among the Hybrid Per- 

 petuals. They flower 

 profusely in early sum- 

 mer and again moder- 

 atelv in the autumn.
