Queen Beatrice 



The $30,000 Rose 



One of the epochs of oi^r business was the 

 introduction of this magnificent American 

 Rose, and those who have never planted it 

 should do so this spring. It is a Hybrid Tea, 

 a cross between Mad. Abel Chatenay and 

 Liberty, with color an intermediate shade 

 between those of its two parents. When first 

 opening it is much darker than the Brides- 

 maid, and gradually fades to the beautiful 

 silvery pink of La France when the Rose is 

 at its best. The form of the flower resembles 

 that of Liberty, large, full and double. It 

 is a strong and healthy grower and very free 

 flowering. Delicately fragrant and a splendid 

 keeper, it is ideal for cut-flower, purposes, 

 ;j;30,000 was paid for the control of the 

 original plants. 20c. each, 3 for 50c.; larger 

 size, 25c. each; two-year-old plants, 50c. each. 



A Gorgeous Crimson Rose 



The most gorgeous Rose we have ever seen — 

 no other variety can compare with it. In form 

 and fragrance of flower it is simply superb. Won-

 making it a rival of American Beauty, and even 

 more dazzling in appearance. Considered the stand-

 at all times for high prices. In the garden its 

 flowers are as fine as those found in the green- 

 houses. Perfectly hardy. 20c. each, 3 for 50c.;
