THIS IS WHAT THE NEW YORK PRESS HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT! 



N. Y. HRIiALD. 



There was the new Anierieail Lisauty, a 

 rose as laree and as well formed as Its 

 darker sistei-, and of a delicate pink color. 

 Many of the uatronesses stopped before the 

 great clusters of this new tlower and ex- 

 pressed the greatest admiration for its beauty 

 and its gracefulness. There are many who 

 regard it as more beautiful than the well 

 Known rose from which it has developed. 



N. Y. TIMES. 



The novelty of the exhibition was tlv lonp- 

 looked-for pink American Beauty, of which 

 so much has been said and which has never 

 been shown before. Its History is an Inter- 

 esting one, and shows how fortunes come ac- 

 cidentally to the rose grower as they do to 

 some other toilers. Four years ago, in a 

 house devoted to the propagation of Ameri- 

 can Beauties, at Edgely. Penn,, by the Floral 

 Exchange Company, of Philadelphia, a freak

 and 



rose growers 

 its growth w 



iranic 

 was called a "stiort, 

 carefully watched. 



.Soon a small pink bud made its appearance, 

 the only blonde in that household of lovely 

 brunettes. Modestly it unfolded, and then 

 its growth for four years under special con- 

 ditions was as carefully looked after as the 

 most delicate child. It grew and thrived, 

 last night the queenly blonde receiveil 



and 



homage from her courtiers. The American 

 Rose Society awarded it a Certificate, whicli 

 means that she is lovely as well as a debu- 

 tante. She will not stoop to trade until next 

 spring, when in the busy marts she will 

 vie for favor with her brunette sister. All 

 this is the result of an accident that even 



the growers do not attempt to explain, 

 was their luck, they say, that is all.
