HYBRID PERPETUAL 

 ROSES— Continued 



J. B. Clark 



Introduced and listed as a Hybrid Tea, but after a 

 thorough trial, we have come to the conclusion that 

 it belongs to the Hybrid Perpetual class. 



An intense deep scarlet Rose, shaded blackish crim- 

 son, color like the sheen of a plum, often 7 inches in 

 diameter and 5 inches deep. J. B. Clark has created 

 a great sensation throughout the United States and 

 Europe. A wonderfully strong and upright grower, 

 exceedingly vigorous, with splendid and heavy dark 

 bronze-green foliage. The glory of the plant is in its 

 flowers, however, as they are extraordinary in size, 

 full and double, wonderfully fragrant, of great depth, 

 and borne freely from the first year, on long, stiff 

 stems. This Rose has proven hardy, even in Canada, 

 and a genuine treat is in store for everyone who plants 

 it. We have a large stock of own-root plants, all in 

 splendid condition. Strong, one-year-old plants, 25c. 

 each, 3 for $1.00; larger size, 35c. each, postpaid; two- 

 year-old plants, 60c. each. 



GLORY OF THE EXPOSITION OF BRUSSELS. Large, 

 full flowers; of fine fragrance; deep, velvety, pur- 

 plish amaranth, almost black; base of petals fiery 

 red. One of the most gorgeous of the dark Roses. 

 The bush is very large, strong and vigorous, and in 

 its season is covered with the glory of the magnifi- 

 cent flowers borne on large stems. -

It is entirely hardy, blooms nearly all the time, 

 bearing numbers of large, full, double flowers of 

 unusual beauty and wonderful fragrance; clear, 

 bright rose; distinct and charming. A great Rose. 

 HUGH WATSON. Crimson, shading to carmine. 

 Blooms large and of finest finish; growth vigorous, 

 branching and free; fragrant. 20c. each; larger 

 size, 25c. each; two-year-old plants, 50c. each. 

 JEAN LIABAUD. Color nearly black. Flowers large, 

 full and fragrant, most intense, dark, rich, velvety 

 crimson imaginable, almost black; rare and hand- 

 some. 

 JOHN HOPPER. Flowers large, very regular and 

 full; brilliant rose, changing to bright glowing 

 pink, shaded with rich crimson; remarkably pro- 

 fuse bloomer. 

 JOHN KEYNES. Beautiful, double, globular flowers, 

 shining red, shaded with deep maroon. Large 

 and fragrant. A most popular variety with luxur- 

 iant foliage and of vigorous habit of growth.

 light green foliage, somewhat crimpled. Large, 

 full, somewhat fit flowers; fine, carmine color. 

 MAGNA CHARTA. Extra-large, full flowers, very 

 double; of fine form, and sweet; clear, rosy red, 

 beautifully flushed with violet crimson; sure and 

 profuse bloomer. 

 HAILEYSBURY. Blooms with the greatest freedom, 

 almost as freely as a Hybrid Tea. Flowers of 

 elegant, round shape, bright crimson; a good, 

 strong grower. 

 PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN. Celebrated the world 

 over for its large, handsome, fragrant flowers, and 

 the freedom with which they, are produced. The 

 color is a deep, rich velvety crimson, passing to 

 intense maroon, shaded black; at a short distance 

 they appear really black. This splendid Rose is 

 shown in full colors on page 69. 

 PRESIDENT LINCOLN. Dark crimson, shaded red. 



Very good variety for outdoors. 

 ROBERT DUNCAN. Flowers large, perfectly formed 

 and of good substance; petals large and shell-shaped; 

 bright rosy crimson. 

 ROGER LAMBELIN. Very dark crimson, with nar- 

 row band of white, forming a sharp contrast. The 

 petals are fringed irregularly, like a double petunia 

 or a carnation. Odd and unique. 

 CAPTAIN HAYWARD. Bright scarlet, very vivid in 

 summer and glowing in autumn. Large, full and 

 bold, the outer petals finely reflexed, while the 

 center petals stand up well, making a flower of 

 striking beauty. Perfectly hardy. 20c. each; 3 for 

 50c.; larger size, 25c. each; two-year-old plants, 

 45c. each.
