A beautiful new 

 rose for your garden 



V/Y^E'VE accomplished what 

 * * seemed to be impossible. 

 We've taken the beautiful hot- 

 house American Beauty and cross 

 fertilized it with a hardy, outdoor, 

 climbing rose and the result has 

 been this wonderful new plant — the 



Climbing American Beauty 



It possesses all the charm of the "Queen of 

 Roses" — the beautiful flowers three to four 

 inches in diameter, finely formed on long 

 stems, the rosy-crimson color and the same 

 delightful fragrance — a fragrance which is so 

 rare in climbing roses. 



But it has these virtues in addition: Whereas 

 the American Beauty is seldom satisfactory 

 when planted in the open ground, the climb- 

 ing American Beauty is very hardy and will 

 thrive and grow anywhere a pillar or climbing 

 rose will. It will stand heat and drouth as 

 well as any rose. 



One plant of our new rose will produce twenty 

 times as many flowers in June as the old 

 American Beauty and continue to bloom oc- 

 casionally throughout the growing season. 



The leaves are large, bright, glossy green and 

 keep on the bush all summer. They will 

 not burn with the sun nor will sudden changes 

 of temperature harm them. 



The illustration shown is reproduced from a 

 photograph taken in June and shows over a 

 hundred flowers on one side. 



Every rose lover will want some of these 

 wonderful Climbing American Beauty Roses. 

 We are ready to supply a limited number of 

 one-year-old plants at $2.00 each. Mailed to 

 any part of the United States, postpaid, on 

 receipt of the price. 



Should you like to know more about this 

 wonderful plant we will be pleased to send 

 special printed matter.
