MICHELL’S HARDY GARDEN ROSES, continued 
Hardy Hybrid Perpetual 
Roses 
Before the development of the Hybrid 
Teas, this was the most popular type for 
garden planting. For a while they were 
neglected but because of their great hardi¬ 
ness and the quantity of their large flowers, 
they are again becoming popular. Most of 
them are deliciously fragrant. They are 
perfectly hardy and of vigorous growth, 
blooming profusely in June and some¬ 
times sparingly in autumn. Hybrid Per- 
petuals are taller in growth and need more 
space than the Hybrid Teas; in pruning, 
cut away all weak growth, and if quality of 
bloom is desired, cut back the strong canes 
to within 8 to 9 inches of the ground, but 
if quantity of bloom for garden effect is 
desired, leave these canes from 2 to 3 feet 
high, according to their strength.

HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 
Radiance. A Rose of American origin and, 
to our mind, one of the very best varieties 
in cultivation today. It is an ideal bedder, 
producing large flowers throughout the 
summer when many other varieties are out 
of bloom. In color, it is a beautiful even 
shade of pink. This Rose should be in 
every garden. 85c. each. 
Red Radiance. A counterpart of Radiance 
from which it is a sport, possessing all of the 
good points of that valuable variety, but 
differing in color, which is bright cerise-red. 
85c. each. 
Rose Marie. Beautiful long buds which open 
into large flowers of perfect form and of a 
pleasing clear rose-pink. An old favorite. 
85c. each. 
Bush of Frau Karl Druschki 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A nicely 
formed flower of unfading sunflower-yel¬ 
low, the first real yellow garden Rose.

Talisman. This Rose has proved a fine 
garden variety. Its combination of apricot, 
gold, and deep rose-pink gives a glittering 
mass of color over a long period of time. 
A free-blooming variety with the highest- 
colored blooms in autumn. 85c. each. 
Vilie de Paris. Pure yellow without a trace 
of any other color, standing up under all 
weather conditions; round buds and large 
globular flowers, fairly double and excellent 
for cutting. Plant is tall, upright, and a 
free bloomer. 85c. each. 
American Beauty. Very large, deep pink 
to carmine-cerise flowers, delicately veined

double and opens to a pure snow-white.

prolific bloomer during the month of June. 
Scattering flowers often appear in the fall. 
85c. each. 
Gen. Jacqueminot. The old favorite 
“Jack” Rose is still popular. Blooms are 
large, full, and globular, having an excel¬ 
lent cup-shaped form; in color they are 
brilliant scarlet-crimson, with deep veining 
toward the base of the petals. 85c. each.

merit. The blooms are of large size, bright 
pink suffused with carmine. It is very fra¬ 
grant and free flowering. 85c. each.

Rosa Husonis, Golden Rose of China 
This Chinese native is a notable contri¬ 
bution to American gardens. Every 
branch of the previous year’s growth is, in 
late April or early May, closely set on 
both sides to the very tip with exquisitely 
beautiful, single, clear yellow flowers. The 
long, arching sprays make Hugonis not 
only a beautiful shrub, to be planted, if 
one so prefers, with other shrubs, but 
when cut are charming as table decora¬ 
tion. A graceful shrub with red canes and 
thorns and fine fern-like foliage. 85c. 
each; doz. $9.00. 
Skyrocket. A real everblooming Shrub Rose 
producing a great profusion of bloom 
throughout the entire season. It makes a 
magnificent display with its enormous 
clusters of medium-sized, brilliant red 
flowers. The straight and upright habit 
of growth makes it most desirable planted 
either singly or in combination with various 
kinds of shrubs. 85c. each.
