ROSES 



AMERICAN BEAUTY 



A hardy Rose of the largest size, having the 

 ever-blooming qualities of the Tea Rose, with 

 the delicious odor of the Damask Rose, conse- 

 quently equally valuable for winter or summer 

 flowering. In color, it is a deep, brilliant rosy- 

 carmine, shaded toward the center with rich car- 

 mme-crirason. This is unquestionably the most 

 popular Rose now before the public, a popularity 

 due entirely to its splendid value as a winter- 

 forcing variety. It has, however, much value 

 as a garden variety and is very much sought 

 after. (See engraving.)

EVER- 

 BLOOMING 



Although we do not offer as long a list of varieties of Roses 

 as some, yet our stock in quality, condition and extent is un- 

 equalled, and we contend that our customers are safer in 

 selecting from our list of Choice Tested Varieties than if we 

 offered a long list, which would of necessity contain many 

 inferior sorts.

 about 1 to IH inches across.

 white flowers in wonderful abundance. It has a fragrance similar to Hyacinths. Of

flowers are a pretty pink shading to white at the base of the petals.

 foliage. The color is clear coppery, golden-yellow in the bud, changing to clear yellow as the flower

very free blooming. Decidedly the best in its color.
