U I ^ The American Beauty Set ^ 



SIX FAHOUS HARDY EVER=BLOOriINa ROSES. 



So famous has our " American Beauty Set " of Roses become that we and thousands of our friends who have 

 planted the Roses in this collection would consider our catalogue incomplete without it. Each year we bring into this 

 set the cream of the best Roses in cultivation, and by preparing ahead and growing them in large quantities, we are able 

 to offer them at almost one-half their regular cost. In making up this collection our aim was to include only the best 

 varieties, those that combine a variety of color, beauty of flower and bud both in form and richness of color, certainty, 

 freedom and continuity of bloom, ease of culture and hardiness under open-ground culture. With that world-renowned 

 variety, American Beauty, at the head of the list, all of them are justly famous. Peerless in the beauty of their flowers, 

 certain to grow and bloom profusely, they represent the highest degree of perfection yet found in Roses. They should 

 find a ready welcome from every one who loves really beautiful Roses. With ordinary care, success is certain with them. 

 During Winter in open ground they should be given ordinary protection. 



and flowers are magnificently formed. The color is a pure 

 satiny white, a strong, vigorous grower and a free bloomer. 

 Excellent for open-ground culture. Be sure to try this 

 variety. 15 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



American Beauty. 



This is perhaps the grandest and most beautiful Rose 

 now known. It is both scarce and valuable and hard to 

 get true to name. We guarantee every plant we 

 send out to be true to name. The flowers are four 

 to six inches across, extra large, full, deep and double. 

 The color is rich, rosy crimson, exquisitely shaded and 

 veined. Its fragrance is superb. It is a strong grower 

 and a constant bloomer. See illustration elsewhere in this 

 book. 20 cts, each ; strong two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each. 



Perle des Jardins. 



(Pearl of the Garden. ) 



This magnificent yellow Tea Rose still retains its posi- 

 tion as one of the very finest and most beautiful Roses of 

 its color ever introduced. The demand for it constantly 

 increases as its great value becomes better known, more 

 plants being wanted year by year. The color is clear, gol- 

 den yellow, an indescribably rich and beautiful shade, and 

 entirely distinct from any other variety ; the flowers are 

 extra large, full, globular form, with great depth and sub- 

 stance, richly perfumed and exquisitely beautiful in every 

 way. Succeeds well in open ground, but is especially 

 valuable for forcing for cut flowers. 15 cts. each ; two- 

 year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



rtarion Dingee. 



The darkest, richest-colored Tea Rose known. Large, 

 finely formed flowers are borne in constant profusion 

 throughout the season. Color deep, brilliant crimson. 

 See page elsewhere for illustration. 15 cts. each; two- 

 year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



Comtesse Dusy. 



We have given this new variety a careful trial and pro- 

 nounce it the equal of any of the white Tea Roses. The 

 flowers are extra large, full, deep and double; both buds 



Souvenir de Clairvaux. 



( An Extra=good Rose. ) 



This is a remarkably fine Rose, producing flowers simi- 

 lar to Bridesmaid ; the growth is extra strong, fully as 

 vigorous as Maman Cochet, one of the strongest growing 

 Roses. For general cultivation this is a very fine Rose, 

 and certainly cannot be surpassed. The color is bright, 

 pinkish rose, shading lighter or darker according to the 

 season. They are large, full and double, and remain on 

 the bush for a long time. It is a constant, profuse 

 bloomer, and very fragrant. A Rose that we recommend 

 very highly, because it is exceptionally good in every way. 

 15 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



Climbing ileteor. 



Has been called the Perpetual-blooming "Jack." A 

 famous variety. One of the brightest colored and most 

 brilliant Roses we have. The color is rich, velvety crim- 

 son ; both buds and flowers are full, double and borne on 

 nice, long stems. It is a vigorous and healthy grower, 

 making a 

 growth of 10 to 

 15 feet in one 

 seas on. A 

 quick and con- 

 stant bloomer ; 

 blooms the first 

 year. 15 cts. 

 each; two- 

 year-old 

 plants, 30 cts. 

 each.
