i6 AUTUMN EDITION, DINGEE GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE 



HYBRID TEA ROSES 



This class of Roses has the meritorious advantage of blooming continuously the first 

 year like the Tea Roses, while their large, finely formed flowers and delicious fragrance, 

 diversity of color and constitution to stand winters with slight protection, make them 

 best for general planting. 



We offer only special-size and two-year Roses, with a few exceptions noted. 



American Beauty 



American Beauty is splendid for open-ground culture, and is hardy in nearly all 

 localities except where the winters are particularly severe, provided the true stock is 

 planted. .Our plants are grown in specially prepared soil by our own expert growers. 

 We guarantee our plants to be true to name, absolutely first-class in every particular: 

 Color, rich crimson, charmingly shaded and veined. As the flowers expand, their beauty 

 seems to be enhanced rather than diminished. The fragrance is not excelled by any Rose 

 known. Great, lusty, one-year-old plants, from 3- and 3^-inch pots, 30 cts. each, 4 for $1, 

 postpaid; extra-heavy, two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; three-year-old plants, 75 cts.
