FlVe Hybrid Roses I OF J$ CtS. 



(See Colored Plate opposite side.) 



We have named the subjects of our colored plate The American Beauty Set, from the fact that this 

 famous and highly prized Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Rose is included in the collection. A collection of this 

 sort is something entirely new. Five of the most famous Roses in cultivation — the most distinguished of 

 the family — which we have grown in large quantities, and are able to offer at a very modest price that dis- 

 counts all competition. The beautiful colored plate on preceding page will give an idea of the diversity of 

 color which can be had by planting these charming Roses. Each variety is a vigorous grower and a 

 constant bloomer. The flowers are deliciously fragrant. Their merits are by no means few, and to those 

 wishing the very choicest and most expensive Roses we would recommend this set most highly. 



The American Beauty Rose is a Hardy Hybrid Perpetual, the remainder of the collection being Hybrid 

 Teas. During severe Winters all should be protected with a litter of straw or evergreen boughs. 



American Beauty. 



Man)' of our friends know all about this grand Rose, 

 and value it accordingly. To others we would say it 

 is well known as one of the best and most valuable Roses, 

 both for garden and house culture. Color rosy crimson, 

 exquisitely shaded and very handsome; extra-large, full 

 flowers, exceedingly sweet; makes magnificent buds; is 

 a good bushy grower and a constant bloomer. 35 cts. 

 each ; 4 for Si. 



La France. 



Perhaps no Rose is better known or more highly valued for 

 general planting, both in open ground or under glass, than 

 La France. It is a Hybrid Tea, but usually classed with the 

 Hybrid Perpetuals; very beautiful in form and color ; an early 

 and constant bloomer, producing a wonderful profusion of 

 buds and flowers all through the growing season ; it is ex- 

 ceedingly sweet and handsome, and altogether one of the 

 loveliest and most desirable Roses one can plant; both flow- 

 ers and buds are of grand size; the color is a lovely shade of 

 peach blossom, changing to amber rose, elegantly tinged with 

 crimson; delicious tea fragrance, exceedingly sweet, very full 

 and wonderfully beautiful ; commences to bloom soon after 

 planting out, and continues until stopped by freezing weather. 

 Moderately hardy, but requiring protection in Winter. 15 

 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts. ; 8 for $1.

 color introduced for many years. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.;

Meteor. 



This splendid Rose belongs to the Hybrid Tea class, and 

 is admittedly one of the brightest colored and most brilliant 

 Roses we have, and is highly recommended for bedding and 

 general planting, as well as for growing in pots and conserva- 

 tory. The color is rich velvety crimson, exceedingly bright 

 and striking, and both buds and flowers are large and ele- 

 gantly formed, fully double, and borne on nice long stems, 

 which renders it especially attractive, as well as nice for cut- 

 ting. It is a vigorous and healthy grower and a quick and 

 constant bloomer ; quite fragrant; a really excellent Rose in 

 every way, and never fails to please ; moderately hardy, but 

 requires careful protection in Winter. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 

 cts. ; 7 for Si.
