WHITE AMERICAN BEAUTY 



(Fran Karl Drusehki.) 



From Germany comes this wonderful Rose, which Rose lovers for many years have sought for. A 

 variety to be worthy of the name of White American Beauty must needs be a great Rose. Let us 

 look at its parentage. It is the result of a union between Merveille de Lyon and Mad. Caroline 

 Testout, two of the greatest Roses in cultivation. Extraordinarily strong growing, branching freely, 

 it has the vigor and hardiness of an oak. The foliage is large, of heavy texture. The glory of this 

 plant, however, is its flowers, which are immense in size and produced with great freedom during the 

 growing season. Indeed an ordinary plant will produce hundreds of magnificent flowers, which are 

 full, very deep and double and of splendid substance: petals broad and long and saucer-shaped. The 

 bud is egg-shaped, long and pointed. The color is marvelous snow-white, without a tinge of yellow, 

 pink or any other color. This great Rose has won more prizes in Europe than any variety sent out In 

 years. It has been awarded numerous gold medals, honorary prizes, certificates, etc., wherever shown. 

 We are especially fortunate in having a splendid stock of strong plants. If you want the best and hard- 

 iest white Rose in cultivation this variety will meet your every want. It will prove hardy everywhere.

 each. After April 15th, Pot Grown Plants, 65 cts. each, by Express, at purchaser's expense.
