Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
Massive June Blooming Varieties 
These Roses are bigger, stronger, and hardier than the Hybrid 
Teas. They are essentially cold country Roses, and delight in cool 
weather in spring and summer. Their magnificent blooms are pro- 
duced in early summer and again in late fall, surpassing all other 
Roses in brilliance of color and in fragrance.

Frau Karl Druschki. The most famous white Rose in existence. Buds 
are pinkish, but the well shaped flowers are pure, snowy white. 
Continuous bloom and beauty make up for its lack of fragrance. 
General Jacqueminot. An old favorite with double, pointed flowers 
of scarlet-crimson. 
Henry Nevard. A mammoth bloom of most perfect form and a 
frequent winner. Velvety crimson in color and very fragrant. 
Mme. Albert Barbier. Full, cupped large blooms of buff, salmon, 
and yellow. 
Mrs. John Laing. Symmetrical, smooth flowers of soft, glowing 
pink, deliciously sweet. 
S. M. Gustave V. Brilliant crimson-pink blossoms of good size and 
rich fragrance. 
Climbing Roses 
Climbing Roses are truly beautiful and may be used in many 
different ways. The newer varieties introduced in recent years are 
vastly superior to the older cluster types of flowers. They should 
not be pruned in the spring except to cut out very old or dead wood 
but in July directly after they have finished flowering is the time to 
trim away all the old flowering wood and sufficient new growth will 
develop to provide an abundance of flowers the following season.

Rose suitable for hedges, specimens or border planting. The plant

flowers are small, fringed bright scarlet flowers like little Carna- 
tions, and are borne unceasingly from early summer until late 
autumn. 
Pink Grootendorst. 6 ft. A charming, bright shell-pink variation 
of the scarlet F. J. Grootendorst, like it in all other respects and 
equally valuable. 
Harrison’s Yellow. The fine, old-fashioned bush Rose which grows 
in old farmyards and gardens all over New England. Thousands 
of bright yellow, semi-double flowers in long sprays adorn its 
spreading branches in early summer. 
Rosa Hugonis. “The Golden Rose of China.” 6 ft. This handsome, 
arching shrub with spiny stems and delicate foliage, blooms very 
early in May in long garlands of bright yellow, single flowers 
which are followed by red, translucent fruits. The best single 
yellow Rose for shrub use, especially in the background of the 
rock garden. Give it a warm, sunny exposure to induce it to 
flower early. The plant is perfectly hardy. Each 10
