Hybrid Perpetual Royes. 
Price, except where noted, IS cents each. 
If delicacv describes the Teas, grandeur is a term appropriate to the Hybrid Perpetuals. The flowers 
are larger than those of the tender Roses, and the color is darker and richer than any found among Teas, while 
in growth the Hybrids are decidedly stronger and more vigorous. Their habit is erect and stiff, rather than 
bushy and branching, and they are perfectly hardy in all parts of the country. It should be well understood 
that these Roses do not, as a rule, bloom continuously. In May and June they present a magnificent appear- 
ance, the plants being fairly loaded with large, double flowers— a burst of bloom seldom seen on any of the 
dwarf Teas In September and October most of the varieties, under good treatment, produce a second crop, 
not nearly so liberal as the first one, but often including individual flowers of greater perfection. Some kinds 
bloom almost as constantly as Teas or Bourbons. 
Anne de Diesbach. Flowers clear rose, very large ; 
a showy, deep cup form. 
Antoine Mouton. Flowers bright clear rose, sil- 
very reverse, very large, full, and of good form; a 
strong, upright grower. 
Ball of Snow (Boule de Neige). In this variety 
we have a hardy EverbloOmiug Rose of great value. 
The flower is of large size, perfectly double, exqui- 
sitely fragrant, and pure white. Being entirely hardy , 
it is invaluable for cemetery planting, or where white 
flowers are desired, as it blooms freely all summer. 
Belle Normandie. Rose, shaded and clouded with 
carmine and lilac. 
Baroness Rothschild. The form of this Rose is 
absolute perfection; it is globular, with petals in- 
curved and of waxen texture. Though perfectly 
double, there is no crowding of petals ; the flowers 
are large, with satiny finish, and of a very pleasing 
shade of delicate pink. 25 cts. 
Captain Christy. Delicate flesh color, deepening 
toward the center. A lovely Rose. 
Comte de Paris. A new hardy Rose of great prom- 
ise; bright, vivid, poppy crimson when first open, 
becoming darker and delicately shaded with violet as 
the flowers expand. Very large and full; petals of 
good substance and very sweet. A magnificent Rose. 
20 cts. , , . , 
Charles Dickens. This we regard as a wonderful 
Rose. It is vigorous in growth, the leafage is large 
and fine, and the flower startles all who see it by its 
great size and loveliness. The color is a rich, glossy 
carmine, tinged with bright crimson; large, globular 
flowers, full and sweet. 20 cts. 
Dinsmore. (Everblooming.) The flowers are large, 
perfectly double, of a dazzling scarlet-crimson color, 
and have the rich, spicy fragrance peculiar to the 
best Hybrid Roses. We ha vo proved Dinsmore to be 
entirely hardy, and can recommend it as the finest 
garden Rose over offered. It blooms incessantly, and 
is one of the most beautiful of all bedding Roses. 20c. 
Emperor of Morocco. This is a grand, dark, vel- 
vety maroon Rose. It is beautiful in bud, and the 
flower is very large, full and double to the center. A 
regal Rose in every respect. 20 cts.

and fragrant; the finest Rose of its color.

brilliant. „ _

class American name, and an old-time favorite of 20 
years’ standing. It is beautiful in form; the color is 
soft scarlet, sometimes glowing crimson. 
Magna Charta. Pink, suffused with carmine; 
fine buds. 
Mad. Charles Wood. Flowersrosy crimson, large ; 
a constant bloomer— almost as free as a Tea Rose. 
Mad. Georges Bruant. This variety retains the 
heavy, thorny canes and glossy, leathery leaves of 
Rugosa, while the flower is dazzling white, positively 
untinted, and semi-double. The bud is long-pointed, 
like Niphetos, the fully expanded flower being from 
4 to 5 inches in diameter, and showing a heavy, tremu- 
lous brush of yellow stamens in the center; it blooms 
in clusters, and is deliciously fragrant. 25 cts. 
Mrs John Laing. A new Hybrid Rose, the pro- 
duction of Mr. Bennett. The color is a soft, delicate 
pink, with a satiny surface, and the whole flower fre- 
quently shows a distinctly silvery tinge. The flowers

lence. The flowers are large, semi-globular, full, and 
of good substance; color a bright, scarlet-crimson, 
richly shaded with maroon; very fragrant; a free 
bloomer. 20 cts.

probably the largest Rose grown, and one of the finest; 
bright, shining pink, clear and beautiful; very double 
and full; finely scented. 
Prince Camille de Rohan. Rich, dark, velvety 
crimson, large and fine; a Rose of splendid color.

full, and of perfect form. A true perpetual-flowering 
Rose, every shoot being terminated with a flower. A 
splendid garden Rose. 25 cts.

darkest of all Roses. The color is a remarkable shade 
of blackish maroon, passing to rich violet or plum 
color. The flowers are extra large, globular, well- 
filled and fragrant. Very novel and distinct. 
Silver Queen. Silvery blush, shaded in the center 
with delicate rosy pink ; distinct and fine. 20 cts.

variety. A Rose that is sure to attract attention. 20c.
