HARDY, HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 



OF SPECIAL MERIT 



HYBRID PERPETUALS are considered the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are dis- 

 tinguished by their vigorous, upright growth and large, bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 

 to 6 inches in diameter. They thrive and succeed in all localities and are entirely hardy in 

 any part of the country, and will live through severe Winters with a light protection of leaves 

 or coarse manure. Some varieties do not bloom until the second year, but when fully established 

 they all bloom freely at the usual time, early in the season, and continue to bloom during the Sum- 

 mer and Autumn months. Hybrid Perpetuals will bear a considerable amount of hardship and neg- 

 lect, but improve greatly with good cultivation and rich soil. They should invariably be planted in 

 open ground, as they are not suitable for house culture. We have by far the choicest collection of 

 Hybrid Perpetuals in the country, and recommend those described below as the best varieties for 

 general cultivation. Remember, our Roses are strong plants, and none are grown in pots less than 

 2.y 2 inches in diameter, and many are grown in 3-inch pots.
