HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 



OF SPECIAL MERIT 



HYBRID PERPETUALvS are considered the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are distinguished 

 by theh- vigorous, upright growth and large, bold flowei's, frequently nieasuiing 5 to (5 inches in 

 diameter. They thrive and succeed in all localities and are entirely hardy in any part of the country, 

 and will hve 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 Summer and Autumn months. Hybrid Perpetuals will bear 

 a consii.lerable amount of hardship and neglect, but improve greatly with good cultivation and rich soil. 

 They should invariably be planted in open ground, as they are not suitable lor 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 ia pots 

 less than 2h inches in diameter, and many are grown in 3-inch pots.
