 Dear Sir: — 



Permit me to 

 commend you on 

 success in getting 

 the exclusive control

 Dear Sir:— 



We do not hesi- 

 tate to say that the 

 Queen Beatrice 

 would prove a very 

 desirable acquisition 

 to our roses. We 

 arc not in a posi- 

 tion to speak about 

 its productiveness, 

 etc., we will leave 

 that for the grower 

 to say, but commer- 

 cially, its selling 

 qualities air beyond 

 question. We feel 

 confident that we 

 could And a ready 

 market for the flow- 

 ers, and believe, as 

 from all accounts it 

 is \-ery productive. 

 Queen Beatrice cer- 

 tainly will have a 

 great future. 



Wishing you suc- 

 cess, we remain. 

 Yours respectfully,

In reference to the new Rose "Queen Beatrice." I am pleased 

 to say that I have watched it growing and blooming tor more 

 than two years and believe it to be one of the best and most 



profitable for every cut flower grower, having all the g 1 quali 



ties and apparently no hail ones, H being a free grower of pleasing 

 color on long stiff stems ami plent' "1" them.

 Mr. F. H. Kramer, 



I wish to congrat- 

 ulate you on your 

 new pink rose. 

 "Queen Beatrice." I 

 consider it a rose 

 entirely in a class 

 by itself, and up to 

 the present time I 

 do not think we 

 have anything to- 

 compare with it. As 

 a wholesaler, I pre- 

 dict an enormous 

 demand for same, 

 and you can feel 

 assured that when- 

 ever the blooms are 

 ready to market, 

 Philadelphia wants 

 its share. 

 Yours respectfully, 

 EDWARD REID.

 Queen Beatrice, the 

 new Rose grown by 

 F. H. Kramer, Is a 

 beauty. The dark 

 green foliage, long 

 stiff stem, and mag- 

 nificent flowers 

 which are simply 

 beautiful at all 

 stages of develop- 

 ment, from the 

 small buds to full, 

 open flowers, which 

 have an agreeable 

 fragrance, together 

 with its color, 

 which has a pleas- 

 ing effect, are sure 

 to make the rose 

 popular and well 

 worthy of the name 

 Queeu. 



As a seller it 

 ought to be unsur- 

 passed.

 Mr. F. H. Kramer, 



I wish to congrat- 

 ulate you upon the 

 success of your 

 "Queen Beatrice-' 

 That your rose is a 

 winner, goes with- 

 out saying, and that 

 it is sure to replace 

 some of the "stand- 

 aids" of today 

 seems to be the 

 foregone conclusion 

 of those who saw it 

 at your place. 



As you know, I 

 am ever after and 

 in quest of "good 

 tilings," and, as a 

 matter of course, 

 should like to be on 

 the "ground floor" 

 with Queen Bea- 

 trice. 



Kindly let me 

 hear from you re- 

 garding prices, 

 terms, etc., and 

 oblige, 



Very truly yours, 

 S. S. SKIDELSKY.

Mr F. II. Kramer, Dear sir:— Washington, D. C, March 9, 1906. 

 With regard to tin ' Queen Beatrice, I beg to stale that 



I had quite some knowledge of it before it came into your pos- 

 session. 1 was rery much impressed with it and thought it would 

 make a very good rcial ruse; the length of stem, size of 



foliage and beauty of tlower. both in shape and color, should 

 strongly commei I Rose lovers. Yours very truly,
