About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1906. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. To get the Hybrid Perpetual class early (say during December and January), requires special skill and care, but it well repays the trouble, as this class of Roses now bring an average of $50 per hundred buds at wholesale from the 15th of December to January 15th. The method found to be necessary is, to grow these Roses in pots, exactly as is recommended for the evergreen or Tea Roses, except that, as they have a tendency to grow tall, the center should be pinched out of the leading shoots before they get a foot high, so that from five to six shoots run up, and thus not only make the plant bushy, but, what is of more importance, these slimmer shoots are less pithy and ripen off harder, thus insuring with more certainty a greater production of buds. The varieties of Hybrid Perpetuals best adapted for early forcing are: Anna de Diesbach (rich pink), Countess of Oxford (very large, soft, rosy carmine), Magna Charta (splendid bright pink), La France (rich peach color), Mad. Gabriel Luizet (light pink, splendid), Paul Neron (immense size, dark pink), Baroness Rothschild (rich shade of rose), Rosy Morn (cherry rose, large and full), Merveille de Lyon (pure white, other characteristics same as Baroness Rothschild), Anna Alexis (dark pink), General Jacqueminot (crimson), Princess C. de Rohan (crimson, almost black), Dinsmore (crimson, scarlet), Marquis de Castellaine (brilliant, pinkish carmine), Pride of Waltham (peach color). The plants, if started from cuttings any time from September to January, the season in which we prefer to root them, will, if properly grown, by August 1st (or at less than one year old), have filled a seven or eightinch pot with roots. Now is the critical point. The plants must be ripened off and rested, if a crop of buds ...
