"AMERICAN BEAUTY"

 ">'ities of the Tea Rose, with the dslicious odor of the Damask 

 Rose, consequently equally valuable foi winter or sum-

 carmine, shaded toward the center with rich carmine- 

 crimson. This is unquestionably the most popular 

 Rose now before thepublic, 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 cut.)

NEW FIERY CRIMSON HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 



CHATEAU DE CLOS VOUGEOT, 



A very rich, fiery scarlet shading to deep velvety crimson; surpassing in 

 color the famous " Jubilee " Rose which we introduced in 1897. Words 

 are inadequate to describe and pigments are not made which could reproduce 

 the wonderful coloring and texture of this truly remarkable Rose. The 

 velvety finish on the petals, the conflagration of color, the fine shape, the size, 

 the dark green, heavy foliage so strong and healthy as to be immune from the 

 two scourges of Roses, black 

 spot and white 

 stamp it as a va 

 nounced merit, 

 are large, full 

 globular and 

 borne single on 

 stems. It is delight- 

 fully fragrant, a pro- 

 lific and continuous 

 bloomer. This is a 

 magnificent novelty 

 in Roses and must 

 appeal strongly to all 

 lovers of fine Roses for 

 its very dark yet bril- 

 liant coloring, its hard- 

 iness and ever-bloom- 

 int? qualities {See cut).
