QUEEN OF EDGELY 



The Sensational, long-sought-after Pink American Beauty Rose, which has caused a sen- 

 sation throughout the entire world, offered by us last year for the first time. 



OR many years professional Rose grow- 

 ers have been trying to secure 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. She 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 

 every way, of which it is a sport or off- 

 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 hundred-leaved Rose, fading to 

 ^'''' a still lighter pink. In this respect it is 



''^^^V^, absolutely superior to Crimson American 

 / /Y7^ Beauty, which, when it fades, assumes pur- 

 /jMi-' 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 

 profusion. 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. 

 We were the first catalogue house to offer this variety, and our stock may be relied upon as being genuine.
