^vsihJbhominj^ Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
The Hybrid Perpetuals are hardier and more vigorous 
than the Hybrid Teas, and perhaps the most valuable of 
all Roses for permanent planting, as they will succeed al¬ 
most any place. Many people in the North think they 
cannot grow Roses because of the severe winters, but 
Roses can be growui in any' climate, provided the right 
kinds are planted.

ing persistent everblooming habits, enabling us this year, 
for the first time, to offer to our customers a complete list 
of Hybrid Perpetual Roses that are truly everblooming 
and hardy in the North.

ers of cerise-crimson. Intensely fragrant. Our strain of

everblooming tendencies.

scarlet flowers. Full double and very fragrant. One of 
the freest flowering varieties in its class.

fawn-yellow blended with pinkish shades at the center,
