New Rose — Pink American Beauty 



Queen of Edgely 



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

 the entire world. Offered by us in 1900 for the first time. 



POR 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 bring 

 phenomenal prices, frequently selling for $25 per dozeiu 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 I'ink 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. Iden- 

 tical 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 

 fixed type, distinct and beautiful and perma- 

 nent 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.
