HARDY AND HYBRID PER- 
PETUAL ROSES. 
Many of the varieties of 
Roses offered by firms farth- 
er south as perfectly hardy 
are tender in this climate 
and almost sure to kill to the 
ground even with the best of 
protection, which all Roses 
should have in this climate. 
As many of the best varie- 
ties are increased only by 
grafting on strong growing 
toot stocks, care should be 
taken to have them planted 
deep, so that the part where 
the branches join the main 
stem will be three inches be- 
low the surface of the soil. 
All hardy Roses should be se- 
verely pruned before plant- 
ing and also each year before 
the growth starts in the 
spring, removing all weak 
growth and cutting back all 
strong canes at least one 
half. We list only the varie- 
ties which are hardiest and 
best in this section and 
among these will be found 
some of the best that can be 
grown anywhere. Customers
