HARDY ROSES 
T HE flowers of the Hybrid Perpetual class are generally large, 
double, and very fragrant; and being perfectly hardy, these 
Roses may be planted out in the open ground and left all winter with¬ 
out any protection, and will for years continue to yield an immense 
crop of flowers in June, and many of them will bloom freely through¬ 
out the season. If you wish to have flowers constantly in bloom, 
you must feed them well to bring them to perfection; they must 
have a very rich soil if you wish them to do their best. Do not 
let them suffer for want of water during the growing season ; this is 
a matter of great importance. 
Strong i-year field grown, each 25 cents ; per dozen, #2.50 
Strong 2-year field grown, each 40 cents ; per dozen, £4.00 
Except where noted. 
American Beauty. One of the largest and most beautiful of the 
hardy Roses. Flowers very large and double, and delightfully fragrant. 
Color a rich rosy crimson. Plant a strong grower and continuous bloomer. It 
will make a much stronger growth if not allowed to bloom the first summer. 
Pinch off the larger portion of the buds,—better, all of them. This will not be 
necessary the second season, as the plant will then be strong enough to make 
both growth and bloom. We ofler two sizes of plants : 
Young plants, from 2%-inch pots, each, 20 cents ; two for 35 cents; 
Extra strong plants, each, 50 cents ; two for 80 cents. 
These latter are larger and better than any before grown by us. The demand 
for this Rose is so great that we thought something extra would find purchasers. 
It is the most popular variety in America to-day.
