(Beautifully illustrated In natural colors on Inside Front 

 Cover page.) 



American Beauty is perhaps the best known, most 

 popular and impressive Rose in cultivation. Big, 

 gloriously rich in fragrance, the flowers are simply 

 superb. Every Rose expert has longed to produce this 

 Queen of Beauty in climbing form through the delicate 

 science of hybridizing and cross breeding. This is no 

 ordinary Climbing Rose, but is a vigorous, rampant, 

 climbing type of the real American Beauty, with its 

 gorgeous flowers and its surpassing fragrance. Im- 

 mense blooms measuring 3 to 4 inches in diameter; 

 and each one is invariably produced on a separate 

 stem. The color is glowing crimson red, the real 

 American Beauty color. The foliage is magnificent 

 and is an important feature in climbing Roses, for 

 without healthy, leathery foliage any climbing Rose 

 is a failure, because it is unsightly. Climbing Ameri- 

 can Beauty has tough, beautiful, glossy green foliage, 

 which in itself is ornamental and retains its brightness 

 during the entire season. Absolutely hardy in all lo- 

 calities and withstands the rigid winters of a tempera- 

 ture 10 to 25 degrees below zero without protection. 

 Equally satisfactory in the warmer southern climates. 

 For single specimens, for pergolas, for climbing over 

 verandas, or any place that an ordinary vine will grow, 

 Climbing American Beauty will thrive. 



Remember, every plant is pot grown, and unlike 

 stock sold by nursery agents, is on its own roots. Once 

 planted, it practically lasts forever. 



Prices: Strong, one-year-old plants, 20c each; 

 larger size, 30c each, postpaid; strong, vigorous two- 

 year-old plants, 50c each; still larger specimen plants, 

 75c each, by express.

The Brilliant Pink Rambler Rose. Flowers are borne in 

 large clusters, are very double, with prettily crinkled petals; 

 remarkably pretty pointed buds, beautiful clear shell-pink in 

 color, lasting a long time without fading. The bush is per- 

 fectly hardy in all localities, a rapid and thrifty grower, bear- 

 ing its wondrous flowers in great clusters. 



' EXCELSA- _NRur and distinctive Rambler of remarkable merit. 

 A remarkable grower, free from insects and producing a great 

 quantity of blooms of crimson maroon with the tips of the 

 petals scarlet. Flowers full and double and thirty or forty 

 produced on a stem. The undesirable features of the Crim- 

 son Rambler, the unsightly foliage, is eliminated in this 

 Rose by the infusion of Wichuraiana blood. Hardy every- 

 where, and soon produces a magnificent bush. An excellent 

 variety for hedges and pergolas.
