NEW AND RARE HARDY HYBRID RUGOSA ROSES 



This class of Roses is rapidly acquiring the popularity which we have for years predicted for them. 

 We offer the most complete list to be had in this country, and to those who are not acquainted with these 

 beautiful Roses they will come as a revelation. They are hardy in all sections of the United States, rapid 

 growers, attaining a height usually of 5 to 6 feet. Their uses are almost innumerable. They make im- 

 penetrable ornamental hedges, splendid screens, and for single specimens, clumps and cemetery decora- 

 tion they have no equals. By all means include some of them in your order.
