Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses 



MYBRID PERPETUALS are considered the most valuable of all hardy plants. They ate dis- 

 tinguished by their vigorous, upright growth and large, bold flowers, frequently measuring 

 5 to 6 inches in diameter. They thrive and succeed in all localities and are entirely hardy in 

 any part of the country, and will liye 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 

 ail 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 considerable 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 for house culture. 



We have by far the choicest collection of Hybrid Perpetuals in this country, and recommend 

 those described below as the best varieties for general cultivation. Remember, our Roses are strong 

 plants, and none are grown in pots less than 2}4 inches in diameter, and many are grown in 3-inch 

 pots. Our prices this year are greatly reduced.
