i*r- ALL PERFECTLY HARDY IN THE NORTHERN STATES. 
T HE “Bar Harbor” collection of twelve hardy Roses, named below, arc un¬ 
equaled in their class, combining the greatest variety of form, richness of 
color and freedom of bloom which it is possible to get in that number. The 
first and second sizes will bloom this year, and the third will make fine plants for 
next season’s flowering. Where twelve sorts are wanted, we believe it would be 
impossible to improve on this selection, and even if more are wanted a larger 
number of collections could be obtained with the best results. Want of space 
alone prevents us from illustrating each one, and where all are so good it was 
difficult to select for illustrating.
