This superb Ro^io is comparatively unknown, as the inlrnilucers have not advertised it at all. but in the opinion of 

 the best Kose }i;io\vers it is equally as valuable as the celebrated " Bennett Rose" (though not conflicting with it in any 

 way), being entirely distinct in <'olor and shape. The *' American Heauty" is somewhat like "Countess of Oxford" in 

 shape of flower, but larger, and has the true Hybrid fragrance The color is a glowing deep carmine, and it is wonder- 

 fully free flowering— every .shoot producing a bud. For Winter flowering it will be very profitable for years to come, aa 

 its splendid flowers will always cornuianil high prices. All the ])rincipal rose growers have alreadv purchased it largely.

Asparagus Tenuissimus. 



We cannot praise too highly this beautiful new grecnliou?-*' plant. Its flue flhny foliage e<|U.AN in delicate beauty the 

 Maidenhair Ferns. The stems or fronds stand without wilting tm- a bmg time after being cut. which will lender it most 

 valuable in tine cut-flower work. It should be grown on strings like Sniilax. and is of the easiest culture. For all 

 decorative purposes it is surpa>singlv lovely. At Klunder's recent great Flower Show, in New York, it created a sensa- 

 tion. 36c. each, fliS.OO pei dozen,"»12,00'pcr lOd.
