Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses specialmerh. 



p^ YBRID PERPETUALS are considered the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are dis- 

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

 I J 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 live through severe Winters with a light protection of 

 leaves or coarse manure. Some varieties do not bloom until the second year, but when fully estab- 

 lished they all 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 toy far the choicest collection of Hybrid Perpetuals in this country, and rec- 

 ommend those described below as the best varieties for general cultivation. Remem- 

 ber, our Roses are strong plants, and none are grown in pots less than ± l / 2 inches in 

 diameter, and many are grown in 3-inch pots. Our prices this year are greatly 

 reduced.
