The Cream of Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 



There is probably about live hundred varieties of Hybrid Perpetual Roses current in the trade; of these we have 

 selected the following list as the very best and we think it large enough to sui)])ly the wants of any liose garden, and 

 the inexjierienced can select from it with the certainty of not getting a ptwr variety. The prices given here are for 

 strong plants grown in pots, so that they can be transported any time during the spring and sunnuer months, and we 

 can supply llieni all the year. In the month of November we can supply dormant Roses from the open ground at 

 much lower prices. Our experience has been that a large proportion of dormant Roses planted in the spring die, 

 and conscipientiy do not ofler them at that seii-sou. These Koses are perfectly hardy, and may bo left out during the 

 winter without the slightest danger of injury. We can supply any of these Roses, purcliiisers' .selet-tion of varieties, 

 at iH, ^^h ^ "id dozen ; ^^20 to ?70 i)er 100 ; according to size. We can also supply smaller plant.s, if de:<ired,
