NEW ROSE— PINK AMERICAN BEAUTY 



QUEEN OF EDGELY 





THE SENSATIONAL, LONG-SOUGHT-AFTER PINK AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE, WHICH HAS 



CAUSED A SENSATION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORLD, 



OFFERED BY US IN 1900 FOR THE FIRST TIME 



POR many years professional Rose growers have been trying to secure 

 a white, a yellow or a pink American Beauty, perhaps the most 

 famous American Rose. At all times its flowers bring phenomenal 

 prices, frequently selling for .$25 per dozen. Of its color— deep, rosy crim- 

 son—it has no equal. Not until the advent of 

 this great new variety has this dream been 

 realized. It has remained for America to pro- 

 duce the Rose the whole world is waiting 

 for, the genuine Pink American Beauty. Her 

 majesty is an American Queen. Wherever 

 shown she has created a sensation. She has 

 been awarded numerous certificates, and both 

 gold and silver medals, the greatest distinc- 

 tion shown any Rose. 



American Beauty is her full sister. This new 

 variety, instead of being a dark and glorious 

 brunette, is a lovely blonde. Identical with 

 American Beauty in every way, of which it is 

 a sport or offspring, except in color, the Pink 

 American Beauty stands as a new creation, 

 and will always remain as a fixed type, dis- 

 tinct and beautiful and permanent in its 

 color. 



The color is a soft, rich pink, equal to 

 Caroline Testout or Bridesmaid. It nearly 

 approaches the color of the old-fashioned 

 hundred-leaved Rose, fading to a still lighter 

 pink. In this respect it is absolutely superior 

 to Crimson American Beauty, which, when it 

 fades, assumes purplish shades. It is a 

 stronger grower than Crimson American 

 Beauty, producing its large, massive, cup- 

 shaped flowers, frequently measuring six 

 inches in diameter, in the greatest profusion. 

 The stems are frequently six feet in length. 

 With the rich, dark, glossy foliage and superb 

 fragrance, we have a Rose that is simply 

 glorious in its perfection. We were the first 

 catalogue house to offer this variety, and our 

 stock may be relied upon as being genuine. 



Strong one-year-old plants, 30 cts. each ; 

 4 for $1 ; $3 per dozen, postpaid. 

 Strong two=year-old plants, on own roots, 

 75 cts. each, by Express.
