PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE— PLANTS. 



New Hardy Ever=blooming Rose, 



I IBERTY. 



WHAT has been so long desired, viz : an ever-blooming 

 hardy, Hybrid Tea Rose that possessed a strong and en- 

 during rich crimson color, coupled with vigor of growth, 

 robust constitution and free blooming qualities, has at last been 

 obtained in "Liberty." It will be a boon alike to the grower who 

 forces Roses under glass for cut flowers and the one who plants 

 outdoors for summer flowers. The color is magnificent rich fiery 

 ruby with deep crimson 

 tones in the depths of the 

 flowers. The petals are cov- 

 ered with a rich velvety 

 bloom like those of the "Ju- 

 bilee" Rose, which we in- 

 troduced in 1807. The fra- 

 grance is delightful, all-per- 

 vading and refreshing, the 

 crowning glory which alone 

 would suffice to give it a 

 high place amongst fine 

 Roses. During the seasons 

 of 1898 and i8qo this grand 

 Rose was exhibited at all the 

 leading horticultural exhibi- 

 tions throughout the coun- 

 try, and has received medals 

 and certificates, never fail- 

 ing in a single instance to 

 score an instantaneous and 

 signal triumph. The horti- 

 cultural press has teemed 

 with richly deserved enco 

 miums, sufficient to fill 

 pages, but we have room 

 only for one from American 

 Gardening, which is a type 

 of the rest. 



"IS ever has nature yielded 

 to the painstaking hybridist 

 and plant raiser a more beau- 

 tiful or more satisfying color 

 than that seen in the new 

 hybrid Tea Rose, 'Liberty,' 

 which to-day marks the limit 

 of gloriously deep, yet bright 

 coloration in a family by no 

 means deficient in warm, 

 rich hues of crimson red. 

 Even as the ruby flashings 

 of generous wine have been 

 an inspiration to verse 

 writers for ages, so are we 

 now fired to enthusiasm 

 when contemplating the 

 rich, liquid-ruby hue of 

 ' Liberty.' "
