A Gorgeous Crimson Rose 
¥ Br SRe! SOI SSO SSE 
The most gorgeous Rose we have ever seen— 
no other variety can compare with it. In form 
and fragrance of flower it is simply superb. Won-

making it a rival of American Beauty, and even 
more dazzling in appearance. Considered the stand-

at all times for high prices. In the garden its 
flowers are as fine as those found in the green- 
houses. Perfectly hardy. 20c. each, 3 for 50c.; 
larger size, 25c. each, postpaid; two-year-old plants,

Queen Beatrice 
The $30,000 Rose 
One of the epochs of our business was the 
introduction of this magnificent American 
Rose, and those who have never planted it 
should do so this spring. It is a Hybrid Tea, 
a cross between Mad. Abel Chatenay and 
Liberty, with color an intermediate shade 
between those of its two parents. When first 
opening it is much darker than the Brides- 
maid, and gradually fades to the beautiful 
silvery pink of La France when the -Rose is 
at its best. The form of the flower resembles 
that of Liberty, large, full and double. It 
is a strong and healthy grower and very free 
flowering. Delicately fragrant and a splendid 
keeper, it is ideal for cut-flower purposes, 
$30,000 was paid for the control of the 
original plants. 20c. each, 3 for 50c.; larger 
size, 25c. each; two-year-old plants, 50c. each.
