HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 
Roses of this class produce the largest and most beautiful flowers and 
the varieties offered below are all thoroughly hardy. When will estab- 
lished they bloom very freely at the I'.sual season, June and July, and at in- 
tervals throughout the balance of the summer and fall. They should invar- 
iably be planted in the open ground, being adapted for out-door cultivation 
rather than for house culture. They will stand a considerable amount of 
hardship and neglect but improve greatly with good cultivation and rich 
soil. The quantity and size of blooms will be greatly increased by .severe 
pruning each spring. All rough and scraggy wood should be cut away en- 
tirely and the other shoots should be cut back enough so as to leave only 
two or three eyes to grow. 
Price of all Roses under this class, (except as otherwise noted) each 12c.; 
any 3 for 35c.; any 6 for 60c.; 12 for $1.20. Postpaid. Except otherwise 
noted. 
Alfred Colomb. Bright carmine-crimson ; very large ; fine shape, free 
flowering. 
American Beauty. Rich, rosy crimson ; of exquisite form and delicious 
fragrance ; almost continuously in bloom. 
Anne de DIesbach. Brilliant shell-pink; very large and showy, sweetly 
scented ; very double and of fine form ; of strong growing, vigorous habit. 
Baron de Bonstettln. Rich dark red ; passing to a deep veWety maroon, 
sometimes almost purple; large, sweetly scented, very double and beautiful. 
Caroline de Sansel. Clear, brilliant rose-color, shading into rosy lilac ; 
good size ; well formed and free flowering. 
Clio (new). Flesh-colored ; thisisone of the finest roses we have yet seen, 
and we predict for it, as soon as known, the greatest popularity. It has the 
most delicate texture and coloring imaginable, a beautiful globular form 
and in size is something truly striking. In our nurseries the past season we 
saw on two-year old plants great globular flowers that were at least six 
inches in diameter and truly magnificent in appearance. The plant is a very 
vigorous grower, perfectly hardy, and the flowers are very freely produced 
throughout the season. Each ISc; 3 for 40c. 
Coquette des Alps. Pure white, tinged with pink in the center ; truly a 
continuous bloomer, as it is scarcely ever without flowers from early summer 
until cut ofif by frost in the fall. Flowers are good size, well formed and 
sweetly scented. 
Coquette de Blanches. Similar to the preceeding except that the flowers 
have a creamy tinge, instead of pink, in the center ; equally free flowering 
in habit. 
Due de Rohan. Vermilion ; large, well formed flower. An old, well 
known and valuable variety. 
Fisher holmes. Rich, crimson-scarlet, resembling Gen. Jacqueminot but 
more double and somewhat more free flowering. 
Gen. Jacqueminot. A grand old rose which everyone knows at least by 
name and reputation. Rich, crimson-scarlet in color and especially hand- 
some in the bud. Although introduced nearly fifty years ago it is still unri- 
valed in popularity and of great value for garden planting. 
Gen. Washington. Soft, glossy scarlet ; flowers large, broad and open in 
shape but very double ; especially desirable on account of the quantities of 
flowers produced in the fall when many other varieties bloom but shyly. 
John Hopper. One of the most desirable and satisfactory Hybrid Per- 
petual Roses: flowers are large, very regular and full; color brilliant rose, 
changing to bright glowing pink, shaded with rich crimson ; very sweet, and 
remarkably profuse bloomer. 
John Keynes. Fine, deep, reddish-maroon ; of strong, vigorous habit of 
growth ; flowers are of fine shape and very freely produced.
