WHITE AMERICAN BEAUTY 



(PRAU KARL DRUSCHm) 



From Germany comes this wonderful PwOsp. wbioh Rose lovers for many years have sought for. A 

 variety to be worthy of the name of White American Beauty must needs be a great Rose. Let us 

 look at its parentage. It is the result of a union between IVIerveille de Lyon' and Mad. Caroline 

 Testout, two of the greatest Roses in cultivation. Extraordinarily strong growing, branching freely. 

 it has the vigoi and hardiness of an oak. The foliage is large and of heavy texture. The glory of this 

 plant, however, is its flowers, which are immen.se in size and produced with great freedom during 

 the growing season. Indeed an ordinary plant will produce hundreds of magnificent flowers, which 

 are full, very deep and double and of splendid substance; petals broad and long and saucer-shaped. 

 The bud is egg-shaped, long and tiointed. The c.ilor is marvelous snow-white, without a tinge of 

 yellow, pink or any other color. This great Rosv' has won more prizes in Europe than any variety 

 sent out in years. It has been awarded numerous gold medals, honorary prizes, certificates, etc!, 

 wherever shown. We are especially fortunate in haA-ing a splendid stock of strong plants. If you 

 want the best and hardiest white Rose in cultivation, this varietv will meet vour everv want. It 

 will prove hardy everywhere.
