True American Beauty Roses — New 



Last year on our immense Rose Farm there were discovered so 

 many new varieties that so far outclassed the old ones that we have 

 devoted our entire attention to putting these on the marke' and have 

 disposed of all other varieties. Chief among these were four which 

 have caused wonder and amazement among the judges at the latest 

 flower shows. They have been termed the Pink, White, Striped and 

 improved Red American Beauties, because in every way, excepting 

 color, they exactly resemble that World-famed American Beauty Rose, 

 but to the delight of Rose growers have proven to be the most profuse 

 bloomers of any rose yet introduced, and are so hardy will live out- 

 doors the year round in the coldest climates. We discovered them, 

 we named them, and we are introducing them for the first time. We 

 have grown a large quantity of these roses in both sizes, and offer them 

 to you at an extremely low price — less than cost of single bud at 

 the cut flower stores. We will send this collection of roses in two 

 sizes, both strong and well matured plants, all charges prepaid, and 

 guaranteed to arrive in good growing condition. 



Price for i-year-olds, the Red (improved) , Pink, White and Striped, 

 25c. each, the 4 for $1.00. 2-year-olds, 50c. each, the 4 for $2.00 



The Gra.rtd New Teat IVose 



There have been numerous 

 roses sold as tea roses, but 

 never yet have we seen a rose 

 that has given the satisfaction 

 that can be had from this grand 

 new tea rose, "The Giant." 

 This name is rightly given to 

 it because of its strong grow- 

 ing and free blooming quali- 

 ties. We were much delighted 

 when we discovered this great 

 rose in the summer of 1904, 

 but were still more delighted 

 when we found we were blessed 

 by having it in the three colors, 

 and wecalled them the "Crim- 

 son Giant," "White Giant," 

 and "Pink Giant," bringing 

 to you the richest color to be 

 had in these three colors. Con- 

 sidering the quality of the 

 roses, and the great demand 

 there is for them, we offer them 

 for the first time at an ex- 

 tremely low price. These pos- 

 itively cannot be purchased 

 elsewhere. 



Price for one-year-olds, 20c. each, the 



three colors for 50 cents. 

 Two-year-olds, 40c. each, the three 



colors for $1.00. 



All charges prepaid by us. 



The blooms of the new Rose "Giant" in three colors. "Never out of Bloom."
