HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



The Hybrid Perpetuals are among the most valuable of all Roses. They are particu- 

 larly desirable for cold climates, because they are entirely hardy ; also for the South, as they 

 are fully as beautiful, but entirely different from the Ever-Blooming Roses, which there 

 flourish so luxuriantly. 



The flowers of this class are very double and of immense size (frequently from five to six 

 inches in diameter), delightful fragrance, and of the most gorgeous and dazzling colors, but 

 no shades of yellow. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, requiring but little, attention, 

 and surviving all ordinary hardships. Though slight protection in Winter, in very exposed 

 situations, is always desirable, these are the hardiest Roses, and may be expected to 

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

 bloomers as the Ever-Blooming Roses. Some varieties do not bloom the first year, but grow 

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

 time, early in the season, and 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 do not bloom as quickly. 



NOTE.— We call attention to the White and Light Colored Hybrid Perpetuals, be- 

 lieving that they are not as generally planted as they should be. These fine varieties 

 bloom soon after planting out, and continue to bloom at short intervals all through the 

 Summer and Autumn months. The flowers are borne in large clusters and are very beau- 

 tiful ; the plants are mostly strong growers and quite hardy. The following varieties are 

 among the best: Baron de Maynard, Coquette des Alps, Lady Emily Peel, Madame Al- 

 fred de Rougemont, Madame Francois Pettit, Perle des Blanches, Perfection des Blanches, 

 Olga Marix, &c. They are fully described in the General Collection below, and are sold 

 at the usual price of 5 for $1 ; 12 for $2, &c.
