AMERICA'S 

 QUEEN OF ROSES 



American Beauty 



If any one variety 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. More 

 flowers of it are sold many times over than of any other Rose in cultivation. They command the highest 

 price, selling frequently during the holidays as high as S25 a dozen. Of quick, liealthy, bushy growth, 

 either in pots or outdoors, with magnificent foliage, it produces in abundance glorious buds and large, 

 deep, double flowers of immense size. Color rich crimson, charmingly shaded and veined. As the flowers 

 expand, their beauty seems to be enhanced rather than diminished. The fragrance is exqmsite, 



SPECIAL NOTICE American Beauty is splendid for open-ground culture, and is hardy in nearly 



all localities, except where the winters are particularly severe, provided 



the true stock is planted. Much to the detriment of this great Rose, it has become a common practice 

 to send out inferior varieties of easy propagation for American Beauty, which bring only disappointment to 

 the planter. This siiperb variety is one of our leading specialties, and we grow more high-grade plants, 

 strong, stocky and sturdy, on their own roots, than any other concern in this country. 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, therefore, we say, take do chances in buying spurious 

 plants, but secure Dingee stock and you will know why we have made this great Rose so famous.

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 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. Extra-strong, one-year-old plants, from 3 and 3^-inch pots, 35 cts. each, $1 for 

 3, larger size, 50 cts. each, postpaid; extra-strong, two-year -old plants, special stock, 85 cts. each. 



(FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI.) Has become so re- 



nowned as the very highest type of its class and the 

 best snow-white Rose ever introduced, that a description is almost unnecessary. This great bush Rose 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 

 witli great freedom on long, stiff stems. The color is marvelously white, without a tinge of yellow or any 

 other shade. Hardy everywhere. We make a specialty of this wonderful variety, our stock is absolutely 

 true to name; this we guarantee. The true stock is exceedingly scarce. Extra -strong, one-year-old plants,
