Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 
Price, 115 cents each, except where noted. 
If delicacy 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 appearance, the plants 
being fairly loaded with large, double flowers— a burst of bloom seldom seen on any of the dwarf Teas. In Sep- 
tember 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 con- 
stantly 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 Everbloonting Rose of great value. 
The flower is of large size, perfectly double, exquisitely 
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 incurved

satiny finish, and of a verv Dleasing shade of delicate 
pink. 25 cts.K

creamy white, finely tinted with 
orange and fawn ; the flowers have 
all the beauty of Tea Roses, and are 
large and full, and delightfully sweet. * *5^3

rosarians to be the most remarkable Rose of late vears. 
Its elegant buds are often 2 or 3 inches long, while the

point is its bright color, which is very nearly scarlet, 
sometimes lined and bordered with pure white ; still 
another point in its favor is its fragrance— a precious

untinted and semi-double. The bud is long-pointed, 
like Ninhetos, the fully expanded flower being from 4 
to 5 inches in diameter, and showing a heavv, tremu-
