HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
The Roses of this class are perhaps the most valuable for permanent planting, since they 
are perfectly 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. 
Price, except where noted, strong mailing size, 15 cts.; heavy 2-year plants, 50 ets.; 
3-year plants, 60 ets.

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 ati acqui- 
sition to any collection of Roses. 
Mad. Charles Wood. Crim.son. 
Begins to bloom almost as soon 
as planted, and continues all 
through the season; the flow- 
ers are extra large, double, 
full and quite fragrant; 
bright fiery scarlet, passing 
to fine rosy crimson, shaded 
with maroon. One of the best 
for general use.

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.

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 flowers of unusual beauty and 
wonderful fragrance; color, clear, bright rose; 
distinct and charming. Price, 15 cts.; larger 
size, 20 cts. ; 2-year plants, 50 cts. 
Fairfax Roses on their own roots, shipped 
with soil on the roots, are much more satis- 
factory than budded plants.

tion to this grand Rose. The flowers are im-
