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 outdoors, with 

 magnificent foliage, it produces in abundance glorious buds and 

 large, deep, double flowers of immense 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 particu- 

 larly 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, 25c. each, 5 (or $1.00; larger size, 35c. each, 3 for $1.00, 

 postpaid; extra heavy, two- and three-year-old plants, 60c. each; enormous four-year-old plants, 85c. each, all 

 on o\^n roots. 



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 off- 

 spring, except in color, which is soft, rich pink, 

 fading still lighter as the flower grows older. Has 

 the same large, massive, cup-shaped flowers and frag- 

 rance; in short, it is a lovely blonde full sister to 

 the dark brunette, American Beauty. Ours is the 

 original stock, not to be had elsewhere. Extra 

 strong, one-year-old plants, from 3 and 3 }^ -inch 

 pots, 35c. each, 3 for $1.00; larger size, 50c. each, 

 postpaid; extra strong, two-year-old plants, special 

 stock, 85c. each. 



White Anierican Beauty 



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, branching freely, and has the vigor and 

 hardiness of an oak. Large, heavy foliage and magnifi- 

 cent flowers that are nothing less than glorious — 

 immense in size and produced with great freedom on 

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

 out a tinge of yellow or any other shade. Hardy every- 

 where. Extra strong, one-year-old plants, 25c. each, 

 5 for $1.00; larger size, 35c. each, 3 for $1.00, post- 

 paid; extra heavy, two-year-old plants, 60c. each.
