DiNGEE Guide To Rose Culture 



American Beauties 



If any Rose has earned the title of the "National Rose," it is American 

 Beauty. Wherever the Rose is known, it is the queen, and deservedly so. 

 In size, color, form and fragrance it has no equal. Of quick, healthy, 

 bushy growth, either in pots or outdoors, with magnificent foliage, it 

 produces in abundance glorious buds and large, deep, double flowers of 

 immense size. The three kinds below make a gorgeous combination. 



* Crinison American Beauty 



American Beauty is splendid for open-ground culture, and 

 is hardy in nearly all localities, except where the winters 

 are particularly severe, provided the true stock is planted. 

 Our plants are grown in specially prepared soil by our own 

 expert growers. We guarantee our plants to be true to 

 name, absolutely first-class in every particular. Color, 

 rich crimson, charmingly shaded and veined. As the flowers 

 expand, their beauty seems to be enhanced rather than 

 diminished. The fragrance is not excelled by any Rose 

 known. 



* Pink American Beauty 



GEORGE ARENDS 



Hybrid Perpetual — A rose that we predict will soon be- 

 come as popular as the now famous "White American 

 Beauty" or Frau Karl Druschki. Either grown inside 

 or out in the open ground so far we find absolutely no 

 fault in it. Strong, robust grower, free bloomer and 

 absolutely hardy everywhere. The color delicate pink, 

 deliciously fragrant. Once this becomes as well known 

 as the white variety it will be as largely planted. 



*White American Beauty 



FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI 



This brilliant white type Rose has become renowned as 

 the very highest type of its class and the best snow-white 

 Rose ever introduced. It is an extraordinarily strong 

 grower, branching freely, and has the vigor and hardiness 

 of an oak. Large, heavy foliage and magnificent flowers 

 that are nothing less than glorious — immense in size and 

 produced with great freedom on long, stiff stems. The 

 color is marvelously white, without a tinge of yellow or 

 any other shade. Hardy everywhere. Grown on its own 

 roots.
