H";;^ri7TrRSe pink American Beauty 



or. QUEEN OF EDGELY- 



EW PINK AMERICAN BEAUTY— This famous New Rose originated four years ago, near 

 Philadelphia, as a " sport " of the well-known American Beauty, of which it is an exact counter- 

 part in every particular except color; it has the same vigorous growth and beautiful foliage, 

 the same exquisite fragrance. The color is a lovely shade of bright clear pink, very beautiful. 

 The flowers are large and very deep, averaging over five inches across, and are borne on long 

 stiff stems. It is offered for the first time, this Spring, and as the stock is limited, and the demand great, 

 the price is necessarily high. PRICE: Nice Madl Plants, ready April 15th, $1.00 each; $9-00 per 

 dozen, postpaid. Read the press comments below.

HOW TO GROW FLOWERS 



Many people know how to grow flowers and consequently get an immense amount of pleasure from 

 them. Many more would thoroughly enjoy having flowers of their own if they could only have success in 

 growing them. In reality it is just as easy to succeed with flowers as otherwise. But to have them do 

 well, they must be given the attention they need. There are two ways through which to learn how to 

 grow flowers. You may make repeated experiments yourself, and thus arrive at the proper understand- 

 ing of the requirements. This is a tedious and sometimes costly process. On the other hand, you 

 may avail yourself of the experiences of others who have already covered the ground. Subscribe 

 for a good Floral Magazine, and read it; in this way you can avoid failure and attain success with all 

 your floral treasures. It is cheapest and quickest,
