OR many years professional Rose grow- 

 ers have been trying to secui'e a white, 

 a yellow or a pink American Beauty, 

 perhaps the most famous American Rose. 

 At all times its flowers bring phenomenal 

 prices, frequently selling for |25 per dozen. 

 Of its color — deep, rosy crimson — it 

 has no equal. Not until the advent of 

 this great new variety has this dream been 

 realized. It has remained for America to 

 produce the Rose the whole world is wait- 

 ing for, the genuine Pink American 

 Beauty. Her majesty is an American 

 Queen. Wherever shown she has created 

 a sensation. IShe has been awarded 

 numerous certificates, and both gold and 

 silver medals, the greatest distinction shown 

 any Rose. 



American Beauty is her full sister. 

 This new variety, instead of being a dark 

 and glorious brunette, is a lovely blonde. 

 Identical with American Beauty in 

 eveiy way, of which it is a sport or ofif- 

 spring, except in color, the Pink Ameri= 

 can Beauty stands as a new creation, 

 and will always remain as a fixed type, 

 distinct and beautiful ; and permanent in 

 its color. 



The color is a soft, rich pink, equal to 

 Caroline Testout or Bridesmaid. It 

 nearly approaches the color of the old- 

 fashioned hundi ed-leaved Rose, fading to 

 a still lighter pink. In this respect it is 

 absolutely superior to Crimson American 

 Beauty, which, when it fades, assumes pur- 

 plish shades. It is a stronger grower than 

 Crimson American Beauty, producing its 

 large, massive, cup-shaped flowers, frequently 

 measuring six inches in diameter, in the greatest 

 profasion. The stems are frequently six feet in length. 

 With the rich, dark, glossy foliage and superb fragrance, 

 we have a Rose that is simply glorious in its perfection. 

 Ifer this variety, and our stock may be relied upon as being genuine.
