*Climbing American Beauty. New. No introduction is needed 
efor this climbing offspring from 
the famous American Beauty bush Rose, which is grown in great 
quantity and always commands high prices on the cut-flower mar- 
ket. This variety retains the deep pink to crimson color and the 
same delightful fragrance of the bush Rose, and grows to a height of 
15 feet, producing literally hundreds of blooms at one time. You 
can thus keep the house well supplied with gorgeous Roses without 
marring the appearance of the bush. Blooms should be cut before 
they fade. The foliage is remarkably handsome, and this Rose 
is so hardy that it can be grown practically anywhere without 
winter protection. Our plants are grown on their own roots so 
that once established you are safe, and our illustration clearly 
shows what one plant can do for you. I-yr., 25 cts., postpaid; 
, 2-yr., 60 cts.; Star size, $1, by express.

suitable for covering arbors, arches and 
trellises. It has large, thick, leathery 
foliage that is proof against mildew 
and black spot, and the bright, clear, 
wild-rose-pink flowers are 3 to 4 inches in 
diameter, double, borne singly and in 
clusters; very beautiful in bud and last 
for days when cut. The plant is a perfect 
mass of bloom in June and continues to 
bloom occasionally during the summer 
and until frost. We highly recommend

The Roses you sent me last spring are beyond compare—they 
were the Star size, and Stars they are. Today they are full of 
buds, grown to twice the size when received, not an imperfect
