American 

 Beauties 



If any Rose has 

 earned the title of the 

 "National Rose," it is 

 American Beauty. 

 Wherever the Rose is 

 known, it is the queen, 

 and deservedly so. In 

 size, color, form and 

 fragrance it has no 

 equal. Of quick, 

 healthy, bushy growth, 

 either in pots or out- 

 doors, with magnificent 

 foliage, it produces in 

 abundance glorious 

 buds and large, deep, 

 double flowers of im- 

 mense size. The three 

 kinds below make a 

 gorgeous combination. 



Crimson 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. 



Pink American Beauty 



QUEEN OF EDGELY 



We believe we are the only house offering this beautiful new variety, which 

 is identical in every way with American Beauty, of which it is an offspring, 

 except in color, which is soft, rich pink, fading still lighter as the flower grows 

 older. Has the same large, massive, cup-shaped flow- 

 ers and fragrance; in short, it is a lovely blonde full XUUi-tt^ A m^r-ir^'s-n R^jiiifv 

 sister to the dark brunette, American Beauty. Ours is vv mtc American ocduty 

 the original stock, not to be had elsewhere. FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI 



This brilliant white type Rose has become renowned as the 

 very highest type of its class and the best snow-white Rose 

 ever introduced. It is an extraordinarily strong grower, branch- 

 ing freely, and has the vigor and hardiness of an oak. Large, 

 heavy foliage and magnificent flowers that are nothing less 

 than glorious — immense in size and produced with great free- 

 dom on long, stiff stems. The color is marvelously white, with- 

 out a tinge of yellow or any other shade. Hardy everywhere.

White American Beauty. 



Oswego, Kans., April 23, 1915. 

 Sirs : The Roses I sent for from you came all right several days ago. 

 They were in fine order. I have them all set out, and they look fresh and 

 bright. I have a large yard and I want to get a few Roses every year 

 until I have what I want. My mother was one of the first ones in this 

 country to have monthly Roses. She sent to your house over forty years ago, 

 and I have sent for them several times. I thank you for the Fern. It looks 

 fine. Respectfully MRS. L. BAKER.
