Other magnolias ope in whiteness.**— Maria Brooks.

“ Loveliest of lovely things arc they , 
On earth that soonest pass away. 
The rose that lives its little hour 
Is pi'izcd beyond the sculptured flower.” 
—William Cullen Bryant. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 
S HE plants of the Hybrid Perpetual class are entirely hardy. The flowers are of immense 
size, often five to six inches in diameter, and of the most beautiful colors, from pure white 
to the darkest shade of crimson. Through their blooming season, in June, they give us a 
show of brilliant colors unequaled by any other plants. In the spring, cut back all the shoots, 
or stems, and they will send up new ones, which will make a very strong growth and give abund¬ 
ance of bloom. 
Moss Roses are very popular and much admired for their beautiful buds, which are covered 
with a moss-like texture. 
Climbing ltoses are perfectly hardy, blooming early in the summer, and when in a rich soil soon 
cover any arbor or porch. 
- “The rose 
Propt at the cottage door with careful hands. 
Bursts its green bud , and looks abroad for way.” 
—Thomas Buchanan Read. 
We have reduced our long list of Roses, by discarding sorts that were too similar to be of value 
to the amateur. 
We can supply many of the varieties formerly offered by us, but, when kinds are ordered that 
are not in stock, we must reserve the right to substitute, unless otherwise directed. 
The varieties offered are the best of their respective classes.
