QUEEN OF EDGELY 



THE SENSATIONAL, LONG-SOUGHT-AFTER PINK AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE, WHICfc 



HAS CAUSED A SENSATION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORLD, 



OFFERED BY US IN 1900 FOR THE FIRST TIME 



FOR many years professional Rose growers 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 brku 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 waiting 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 offspring, except in color, the Pink 

 American 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 absolutely superior 

 to Crimson American Beauty, which, when it 

 fades, assumes purplish 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. 



Strong one-year-old plants, 30 cts. 

 each; 4 for $ 1 ; $3 per dozen, postpaid. 

 Strong two=year-o!d plants, on own 

 roots, 75 cts. each, by Express.
