White American Beauty 



(FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI) 



From Germany comes this wonderful Rose, which Rose lovers for many years have sougrht for. A 

 variety to be worthy of the name of White American Beauty must needs be a great Rose. Let us 

 look at its parentage. It is the result of a union between Merveille de Lyon and Mad. Caroirne 

 Testout, two of the greatest Roses in cultivation. Extraordinarily strong growing, branching freely. 

 it has the vigoi and hardiness of an oak. The foliage is large and of heavy texture. The glory of this 

 plant, however, is its flowers, which are immense in size and produced with great freedom during 

 the growing season. Indeed an ordinary plant will produce hundreds of magnificent flowers, which 

 are full, very deep and double and of splendid substance; petals broad and long and saucer-shaped. 

 The bud is egg-shaped, long and pointed. The color is marvelous snow-white, without a tinge of 

 yellow, pink or any other color. This great Rose has won more prizes in Europe than anv variety 

 sent out in years. It has been awarded numerous gold medals, honorary prizes, certificates, etc!. 

 wherever shown. T^'e are especially fortunate in having a splendid stock of strong plants. If you 

 want the best and hardiest white Rose in cultivation, this variety will meet your every want. " It 

 will prove hardy everywhere.

 each. After April 15th, Pot Grown Plants. 50 cts. each, by Express, at purchaser's expense. 



Gentlemen :— I sent a small order in the Spring, and the White American Beauty is a decided success. 

 Every one that saw the Rose exclaimed, "I must have one," Respectfully, 



Hudson, Mass., Aug. 21, 1906. MRS. M. J. HOUGHTON.
