HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES.
We import our Roses from the most extensive grower in Europe. The best plants only are
ordered and they will compare most favorably with plants listed at much higher prices.
For hardiness, our Roses are unequaled. They are grown in close proximity to the sea, ina
very exposed situation, thus rendering them the most suitable of any for successfully enduring
our severe winters.
The Hybrid Perpetuals are among the most beautiful, popular and valuable Roses. In the size of the flowers,
form, fragrance, 2d remarkable depth and richness of the colors of many varieties, and the delicacy of others,
they surpass all other Roses. They are generally of easy culture in any good, rich soil. They should be planted
very deep, and in summer if the weather is dry, water should be applied liberally. Applications of suds of whale-
oil soap, soon after the leaves appear, will protect from slugs. See /zsecticides.

Sizes and shapes as adopted and recommended by the Society of
American Florists. These pots are all full inside measurement,
height and width, which makes them at least one size larger than by
old way of measuring.
They are of perfect shape, with a very much needed improve-
ment in the drainage, by being made with a convex bottom; or we
should say, with the rim or body of the Pot projecting below the
bottom, so that when it is set on any smooth surface, there is some
Fc between the bottom of the pot and what it stands upon. The
age is perfect. Breakage is not one-half as great as in other
Pots, the deep rim protecting them from any ordinary hard usage.

JOHNSON’S GARDENER’S DICTIONARY.
A book which every one with a garden should own. This admirable publication is a new, revised and
greatly enlarged edition of Johnson’s Gardener’s s Dictionary, first published in 1846; containing a full and reliable
list of every plant in cultivation, names printed in bold type, rendering references easy. An important feature of
the work is the placing of synonyms alongside the correct name, instead of in a separate list. The habitat of
each variety is given along with the date of its introduction. The cultural directions are brief and to the point
Insect foes, diseases and their remedies are fully described, and figures of some of the former have been given.
The Dictionary is a large, handsomely bound volume. Price, post- paid, 4.00.
