HflRDT HTPR1D PERPETUAL ROSES 



OF 5FECIAL MERIT 



HYBRID PERPETUALS are considered the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are distinguish 

 by their vigorous, upright growth and large, bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 to 6 inches 

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

 m m and will live through severe Winters with a light protection of leaves or coarse manure. So 

 varieties do not bloom until the second year, but when fully established they all bloom freely, at the us 

 time, early in the season, and continue to bloom during the Summer and Autumn months. Hybrid Perpetu 

 will bear a considerable amount of hardship and neglect, but improve greatly with good cultivation and r 

 soil. I hey should invariably be planted in open ground, as they are not suitable for house culture j 

 have by far the choicest collection of Hybrid Perpetuate in the countrv, and recommend those describ 

 below as the best varieties for general cultivation. Remember, our Roses are strong plants, and none i 

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