38 THE DINGEB & CONARD COMPANY'S 



BEAR SAFELY ANY REASONABLE DEGREE OF COLD. When you plant Hybrid Pcrpetuals 

 you may be quite certain of having Roses every year without further trouble. ' 



Though called Perpetual, it must be understood that they are not such early and con- 

 stant bloomers as the Ever-Blooming Roses. Few varieties bloom the first year, but ^row 

 strong and get ready for the next. When once established they bloom freely at usual*time 

 early in the season, and will continue to bloom at short intervals during the Summer and 

 Autumn months. They are much improved in size and beauty by good cultivation and rich 

 ground. We grow, of the Hybrid Perpetual class alone, more than two hundred varieties, all 

 of which can be furnished when desired. As, however, many of these resemble each other 

 very closely, we have thought it was not necessary to describe more than the finest and most 

 distinct. Indeed, for ordinary purposes, better effects are produced with fifteen or twenty 

 sorts than with more. 



The Hybrid Perpetuals should not be ordered for house culture, as they are not suitable 

 for the purpose. They will grow and thrive as well as the others, but are not so certain to 

 bloom.
