HYBRID PERPETUAL 



ROSES 



Price, except where noted, strong mailing size. 

 15 cts. ; heavy 2-year plants, 40 cts. 



Roses of tills class are perhaps the most valu- 

 able for permanent planting, since they are 

 perfectly hardy, show the greatest size of 

 flower and bush, and make the most vigorous 

 growth. Although they are called Hybrid Per- 

 petoals, they produce a great number of blooms 

 In their season and then give only scattered 

 Mooms until fall, except In the case of a few 

 varieties which have a second season of beauty 

 near the end of the growing period. For those 

 who desire to plant a Rose that will last a life- 

 time, the Hybrid Perpetual is recommended. 

 As a rule they do not require winter protection, 

 and once planted they Increase In size for years 

 with ordinary care.

 mense size, of excellent, bright crimson, flamed

 est, shading to deep crimson-red and velvety-
