HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



"We have again reduced our list of varieties hi this class to thirty-six, believing 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 them- 

 selves, but that the sorts listed are superior in size, hardiness, vigor, productiveness or some other characteristic that 

 is necessary to make a good rose. 



The best effects are produced where masses of few colors are used, thereby avoiding the uneven and checker-board 

 appearance of a body of miscellaneous varieties, whose demand for favor lies simply in that they are "different." 



Alfred Colomb. A splendid rose; large, globular, full, 



and very sweet; bright clear cherry red, shaded with 



crimson. 

 Anna de Diesbach. Clear bright carmine ; very large 



and finely shaped, full and fragrant. 

 Baron de Bonstettin. Dark red, almost black ; very 



large, double, fragrant flowers ; a strong grower. 

 Baroness Rothschild. A magnificent rose; flowers 



extra lar^e, full and globular ; color rich silvery white, 



delicately tinged with pale blush ; rare and exquisitely 



beautiful. 

 Cainille Bernardin. Deep red ; free and fragrant. 

 Captain Christy. A lovely rose, blooming almost the 



entire season ; very large double buds of a deep flesh 



color; strong grower and grand foliage.

most superb and glowing color ; large flowers.

white, sometimes tinted rose. 

 Her Majesty. Of immense size, perfect symmetry, and 



a lovely shade of rose pink tinted flesh color. The 



claims made for it as a forcing rose have hardly been 



borne out, but we consider it extremely valuable as an 



out-door rose. As a pillar rose for the South it will be 



found valuable, as it has a tendency to climb.

dark carmine.
