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.

 and is hardy in nearly all localities, 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.

We believe we are the only house offering this beautiful 

 new variety, which is identical in every way with Amer- 

 ican Beauty, of which it is an offspring, 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 fragrance; 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. 



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 magnificent flowers 

 that are nothing less than glorious — immense in size and 

 produced with great freedom on long, stiff stems. The 

 color is marvelously white, without a tinge of yellow or 

 any other shade. Hard\' everywhere. Grown on its 

 own roots.
