HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
The Roses of this class are perhaps the most valuable for permanent planting, since they 
are prefectly hardy, show the greatest size of flower and bush, and make the most vigorous 
growth. Although they are called Hybrid Perpetuals, they produce a great number of 
blooms in their season and then give only scattered blooms until fall, except in the case of a 
few varieties which have a second season of beauty near the end of the growing period. For 
those who desire to plant a Rose that will last a lifetime, the Hybrid Perpetual is recommended. 
As a rule they do not require winter protection, and once planted they increase in size for years 
with ordinary care.

Ulrich Brunner, pio'w^er s 
of immense size, of excellent, bright

best of its class. The blooms are 
highly fragrant, full and globular. 
Price, extra-size 3-year plants, 50 cts. 
Jubilee. Red. Awarded gold 
medal by the Massachusetts Horti- 
cultural Society, the only Rose to 
obtain the honor. Pure red in its 
deepest, shading to deep crimson- 
red and velvety maroon-red in the 
depths of the petals. It fairly glows 
in its rich coloring, and has a rich, 
velvety finish of its own. It is a 
hardy ever bloomer, and an acqui- 
sition to any collection of Roses. 
Mad. Charles Wood. Crimson. 
Begins to bloom almost as soon as 
planted, and continues all through 
the season: the flowers are extra 
large, double, full and quite 
fragrant; color bright fiery 
scarlet, passing to fine rosy 
crimson, shaded with ma- 
roon. One of the best for gen- 
eral use. 
Magna Charta. Red. A splen- 
did Rose; extra large, full, very 
double flowers of fine form, and 
sweet; clear rosy red, beautifully 
flushed with violet-crimson; a sure 
and profuse bloomer; one of the 
hardiest and best for general plant- 
ing. Price, extra 3-year plants, 50 cts. 
Mme. Masson. Rose. This is one of the 
really superb Roses, and fully the equal of any 
variety in my collection. I think it one of the 
very finest Roses in existence for garden 
cultivation; it is entirely hardy, blooms nearly 
all the time, bearing in profusion numbers of 
large, full-double flcwers of unusual beauty and 
wonderful fragrance; color clear, bright rose; 
distinct and charming. Price, 15 cts.; larger 
size, 20 cts. ; 2-year plants, 40 cts. 
Fairfax Roses on their own roots, shipped 
with soil on the roots, are much more satis- 
factory than budded plants. 
Mrs. John Laing. Pink. A splendid, con- 
stant-blooming Hybrid Perpetual; perfectly 
hardy, with immense full and double flowers, 
borne in great profusion on long, stiff stems, 
and exceedingly sweet. The color is a clear, 
shining pink, exquisitely shaded. Buds long 
and pointed. Price, extra-size 3-year plants, 
50 cts. 
Paul Ncyron. Pink. I call special atten- 
tion to this grand Rose. The flowers are im- 
mense; bright, shining pink, clear and beauti- 
ful; very double and full; finely scented; 
blooms the first season.
