HYBRID PERPETUALS. 
In order to condense our catalogue we have limited the descriptions of the roses to the barest statement 
of color, size and fragrance. 
Hybrid perpetuals are the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are distinguished by their vigorous 
growth and large flowers, frequently measuring 4 to 6 inches in diameter. They succeed in all localities, and 
are entirely hardy in all parts of the country. When fully established they bloom freely early in the season, 
and continue to bloom during the summer and autumn months. Improve greatly with good cultivation and 
rich soil. They should invariably be planted in open ground, as they are not suitable for house culture.
