NEW PLANTS OF REAL MERIT 



New^Forcing Uj^jnCriCail BCaUty." "^^"JsT^^^ 



This superb Rose is comparatively unknown, as the introducers have not advertised it at all, hut in the opinion of 

 the best Rose growers it is equally as valuable as the celebrated " Bennett Rose *' (though not conflicting with it in any 

 way), being entirely distinct in color and shape. The **■ American Beauty " 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 Jowering— every sbuot producing a bud. For Winter flowering it will be very profitable for years to come^ as 

 its splendid flowers will always command high prices. All the principal rose growers have already purchased it largely.

Asparagus Tenuissimxis. 



We cannot praise too highly this beautiful new greenhouse plant. Its fine fihny foliage equals in delicate beauty the 

 Maidenhair Ferns. The stems or fronds stand without wilting for a long time after being cut, which will render it most 

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

 decorative purposes it is surpassingly lovely. At Ivlunder's recent great Flower Show, in New York, it created a sensa- 

 tion. 36c. each, $2.00 per dozen, !$12.00 per 100.

 are ready for delivery now; new varieties of this season ready in February and March. Write forprices, they are very low. 



Carnations. 



These three splendid fancy variegated Carnations, Mrs. Carnegie, Chas. J. Clarke, and Petunia, of last season, are 

 decidedly the most profitable for cut-flower growinp:. They command double the retail prices of other sorts and are long 

 stemmed and extremely free flowering. Price, S5.00 per 100 ; iilants ready now.
