Rose Queen OF Edgely, 



OR "Pink American 



Beauty." 



Xew Forcing Rose QUEEN OF EOGEEY, or 

 PINK AMERICAN BEAUTY. 



This grand new Rose is a sport of American Beauty, and has been under careful 

 observation and cultivation since 1897. It is an exact counterpart of the American 

 Beauty in every particular except color, which is a bright pink somewhat of the shade 

 of Mme. Caroline Testout and Bridesmaid. It has the same vigorous growth, beauti- 

 ful foliage and fragrance as the parent ; the flowers are large and deep, cup-shaped 

 and full, averaging over 5 inches in diameter, and borne on stems often B feet long, 

 foliaged to the very flower ; its Iveeping qualities are excellent, holding for a week or 

 longer after being cut. Strong young plants, 25 cts. each ; §2.50 per doz. 



New Forcing Rose ROBERT SCOTT. 



The most distinct forcing Rose introduced for many years. It is a seedling from 

 Merveille de Lyon, crossed with Belle Siebrecht, possessing size, form, color and 

 growth peculiar to the hybrid perpetual class and the free everblooming qualities of 

 the Tea Roses — practically an everblooming hybrid— the first of its type that will 

 flower the year round. It is of a clear rosy pink, shading to flesh on the outer petals ; 

 of large size and as beautiful in the full-blown flower as in the bud state, and, like its 

 parent, clothed with handsome foliage up to the bud. Strong young plants, 25 cts. 

 each ; §2 50 per doz. 



New Forcing Rose LIBERTY. 



Undoubtedly the finest crimson winter-forcing Rose of modern times, and a grand 

 addition to the Hybrid Tea class. In color it is a warm, rich crimson-scarlet, and 

 surpasses its rival — ^the well-kno-wn Meteor — in abundance of bloom, size and color, 

 never showing the slightest tendency to blacken, which is so characteristic of Meteor, 

 and most of all by its exquisite fragrance, a quantity altogether wanting in Meteor. 

 Strong, thrifty young plants, 25 cts. each; §2 50 per doz.
