SIXTEEN BEST 
HARDY GARDEN 
Hybrid-Perpetual Roses 
The varieties listed below are unquestionably the best 
that can be selected in the Hybrid-Perpetual class, which, 
before the development of the Hybrid-Teas, was the most 
popular type for garden planting, and even now they dare not \ 
be overlooked, but should be used extensively in conjunction 
with the other sorts, and especially so in localities where the 
hardiness of the Hybrid-Tea varieties has not been established. 
The collection here offered embraces as complete a range of 
colors as it is possible to bring together in such a number of plants, 
with freedom of flo ering, perfect form, fragrance, hardiness and 
general excellence. 
In pruning Hybrid-Perpetuals cut away all weak growths, 
and if quality of bloom is desired, cut back the strong canes to 
within 8 or 9 inches of the ground, but if quantity of bloom for 
garden effect is desired, leave these canes from 2 to 3 feet high, 
according to their strength. 
Anna de Diesbach. Bright carmine-rose, a beautiful Rose of 
large size. 
Baroness Rothschild. A superb Rose, of pale, satiny-rose; 
very large. 
Captain Christy. Delicate flesh, tinted white, a large full 
flower of good form; very free flowering.

free-flowering; superb in every way.

pink, or rather a tender rose-colored form of the popular white 
Frau Karl Druschki, possessing not only the exquisite form, large 
size, and remarkable free-flowering habits of its parent, but in 
addition to this, it is also highly perfumed, a Rose worthy of 
a place in every garden.

and form, very fragrant.

Hybrid-Perpetual Rose 
‘““AMERICAN BEAUTY’”’ 
We can supply this beautiful forcing Rose, but do not recom- 
mend it for garden culture. While it is undoubtedly one of the 
finest Roses when grown under glass under the care of the specialist, 
it is, as a rule, worthless out of doors, except in favored locations, 
and we only carry it in stock in the spring of the year to supply 
customers who insist on trying it. Strong two-year-old plants, 
$1.00 each; $11.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100. 
Old Favorite Bourbon Rose 
‘S<HERMOSA’’ 
This old favorite has still many friends on account of the free- 
dom with which its medium sized, bright pink flowers are pro- 
duced, it rarely being out of bloom from early June until hard 
frost in the late autumn. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each.
