HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
Before the development of the Hybrid Teas, this was the most popular type for garden planting and even now they should not be 
overlooked, but should be used extensively in conjunction with the other sorts. 1 hey are perfectly hardy and of vigorous growth, bloom¬ 
ing tremendously in June and sometimes sparingly in Autumn. Hybrid Perpetuals are taller in growth and need more space than the 
Hybrid Teas; in pruning cut away all weak growth, and if quality of bloom is desired, cut back the strong canes to within 8 or 9 inches 
of the ground, but if quantity of bloom for garden effect is desired, leave these canes from 2 to 3 feet high, according to their strength. 
American Beauty. Very large flowers, deep pink to carmine- 
cerise, delicately veined with darker red. A strong grower and 
deliciously fragrant. 85c. each. 
Frau Karl Druschki. This is the queen of all white roses both 
in size and purity. The flower is very double and opens to a 
pure snow white. The growth is vigorous and the plant is a 
most prolific bloomer during the month of June. Scattering 
flowers often appear in the Fall. 85c. each. 
Gen. Jacqueminot. The old favorite “Jack” rose is still popular. 
The blooms are large, full and globular, having an excellent 
cup-shaped form; in color they are brilliant scarlet crimson, 
with deep veining toward the base of the petals. 85c. each. 
Mme. Albert Barbier. This remarkable variety in its habit of 
flowering is as free as many of the popular Hybrid Tea Roses. 
Growth strong and vigorous, the buds are long and well formed, 
of a pearly-white suffused with soft, salmony-flesh and develop 
into large, full double imbricated flowers of splendid form, 
which as they expand show a golden-apricot suffused center. 
A gem in every respect. 85c. each. 
Magna Charta. An old variety of great merit. The blooms are 
of large size, in color a bright pink suffused with carmine. It 
is very fragrant and free flowering. 85c. each.

ingly fragrant and borne on strong stems; splendid for cutting.

grance. A strong vigorous grower. 85c. each.
