NEW HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 
IBERTY... 
W HAT has been so long desired, viz: an ever-blooming, 
hardy, Hybrid Tea Kose that possessed a strong and en¬ 
during rich crimson color, coupled with vigor of growth, 
robust constitution and free blooming qualities has at last been 
obtained in “ Liberty.” It will be a boon alike to the grower who 
forces Boses under glass for cut flowers and the one who plants 
outdoors for summer (lowers. The color is magnificent, rich fiery 
ruby with deep crimson 
tones in the depths of the 
(lowers. The petals are cov¬ 
ered with a rich velvety 
bloom like those of the “Ju¬ 
bilee ” Rose, which we in¬ 
troduced in 1897. The fra¬ 
grance is delightful, all-per¬ 
vading and refreshing, the 
crowning glory which alone 
would suffice to give it a 
high place amongst fi n e 
Boses. During tho seasons 
of 1898 uud 1899 this grand 
Rose was exhibited at all the , 
loading horticultural exhibi¬ 
tions throughout the coun¬ 
try, and has received medals 
and certificates, never fail¬ 
ing in a single instance to 
score an instantaneous and 
signal triumph. The horti¬ 
cultural press has teemed 
with richly deserved enco¬ 
miums, sufficient to fill 
pages, but wo have room 
oidy for one from American 
Gardening, which is a type 
of the rest: 
“ Never has nature yielded 
to the painstaking hybridist 
and plant raiser a more beau¬ 
tiful or more satisfying color 
than that seen in the new 
hybrid Tea Rose, ‘ Liberty,’ 
which to-day marks the limit 
of gloriously deep, yet bright 
coloration in a family by no 
means deficient in warm, 
rich hues of crimson-red. 
Even as the ruby flashings 
of generous wine have been 
an inspiration to verse writ¬ 
ers for ages, so are we now 
fired to enthusiasm when 
contemplating the rich, 
liquid-ruby hue of ‘Lib¬ 
erty.’” 
Price for strong young 
plants (ready in April), 75c. 
each, $7.50 per doz., $50.00 
per 100.
