A Grand Trio of Roses.

We cannot speak too highly of this superb Rose, which every year 
becomes more popular. Flowers large and beautiful; either in the 
bud form or when expanded ; peach-blossom color, shaded pink and 
silvery rose. It is very free blooming, every shoot forming a beau- 
tiful flower. In addition to this, it is entirely hardy with a slight 
protection of leaves, and most deliciously fragrant, thus combining 
in a marked degree all the qualities of a perfect Rose. (See cut, 
page 109.)

AMERICAN BEAUTY. 
In ‘‘American Beauty” we havea Rose of the largest size, having 
the ever-blooming qualities of the Tea Rose with the delicious odor 
of the Damask or Moss Rose, consequently equally valuable for 
winter or summer flowering. The flowers of this grand Rose are 
so eagerly sought that they have sold in the New York market for 
$100 per 100 around the holidays for years, still holding this extra- 
ordinary price. When sold at retail, single buds bring $1.50 to $2 
each at Christmas. In color it is a deep brilliant pink, shaded 
toward the centre with rich carmine. Hardy with slight covering.
