Crimson American Beauty. 



Queen of Edgely— Pink American Beauty 



The Three Magnificent 



American Beauties 



Crimson, Pink and White 



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 outdoors, 

 with magnificent foliage, it produces in abundance glorious buds and large, C.eep, aouble 

 flowers of immense size. The three kinds below make a gorgeous combination. 



American Beauty is splendid for open-ground 

 culture, and is hardy in nearly all locahties, 

 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-oH plants, from 3- and 3^^ -inch pots, 25 cts. 

 each, 5 for $1; larger size, 35 cts. each, 3 for $1, postpaid; extra-heavy, two- and three-year- 

 old plants, 60 cts. each; enormous four-year-old plants, 85 cts. each, all on own roots.
