DESCRIPTIVE PRI 
This Queen of Flowers is deservedly be- 
coming more and more popular every 
year, and with reasonable care every 
lover of flowers can have an abundance of blooms from 
June till October. Our Hardy Roses are all grown in the 
open air, and are strong, 2-year plants, that will give plenty of flow- 
ers the next season. The Rose likes a deep, well-enriched soil, but 
needs plenty of sunlight and air. We give description of some of the 
choicest varieties, but can supply many sorts not described. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 
This class of roses is admirably suited for garden culture, for tha 
formation of Rose beds, hedges and permanent plantations, where 
hardy varieties of Roses are desired. They are of easy culture, and 
luxuriate in a deep, rich soil. They are benefited by a mulching of 
leaves or strawy manure placed around the roots in the fall of the 
year. Prune according to the habit of growth, cutting back close all 
weak shoots, and shortening the long canes to a convenient length.
