^^ The Newest and Best Hybrids 

 riemorial Rose. 



The Dorothy Perkins was one of a lot 

 of some 200 ' hybridized seedlings of 

 \N K'huriana and is thought to have been 

 cross-ed with Mme. Gabriel Luizet. In 

 the important point of hardiness nothing 

 more could be desired. The flowers are 

 very sweet scented, of large size, usually 

 P. > "inches across; are borne in clusters 

 of 'from 6 to 10 and are very double ; the 

 petals are vers- prettily rolled back and 

 - -^'-svi'- - crinkled ; the buds are remarkabh- 



""■" prettv, being pointed in shape and of 



just the right size for the button-hole. 

 The color is a most beautiful clear shell-pink and holds a long time without 

 fading. In vigor and habit of growth the " Dorothy Perkins " is a true de- 

 scendant of Rosa Wichuriana. Like the latter, its natural habit is to trail 

 flat along the ground although it is also susceptible of being trained over 

 arches or other supports. 

 20c. each ; 3 for 50c.
