THE DING-EE AND CONARD COMPANY'S 



Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 



These constitute a very striking and distinct family of Roses, the members of which are distinguished 

 from all others by their luxuriant foliage, prodigious blooms and vigor of growth, a bush during the course 

 of a few years attaining considerable proportions. As a class they do not bloom until thoroughly estab- 

 lished, which is usually not until the second year after planting. The flowers are highly fragrant. They 

 are quite hardy and succeed well in all localities where the conditions are favorable to the growth of other 

 vegetation. Owing to their robust habit they are suitable for outdoor culture only, in which situation they 

 will thrive with very little care or attention, but are improved by liberal manuring and by cutting out dead 

 and unthrifty wood. If permanency is the principal characteristic desired, that quality is a feature of the 

 class. Many of the varieties contained in the following list are Autumnal bloomers, a few of which are: 

 Alfred Colomb, Caroline de Sansal, Baroness Rothschild, Baronne Prevost, General Washington, John 

 Hopper, La Reine, Louis Van Houtte, Mad. Charles Wood, Mabel Morrison, Paul Neyron and Victor 

 Verdier. These kinds are entirely hardy.
