7his fine Rose is hardy 



in the latitude of New 



York City. 



This superb Rose, shown in the accompanying engraving, is unquestion- 

 ably one of the finest varieties ever introduced for either summer or winter 

 blooming. The color is a beautiful shade of carmine crimson, deliciously 

 fragrant, a constant and most prolific bloomer, evei-y new shoot forming a 

 flower bud; it retains its color better than any Rose of its class, and is ex- 

 •ceedingly vigorous in growth, rendering it one of the most satisfactory 

 looses for either the amateur or commercial florist to grow.

AMERICAN BEAUTY.

 ■ever-blooming qualities of the Tea Rose with the delicious odor of the 

 Damask or Moss Rose, consequently equally valuable for winter or summer

 have sold in the New York market for SlOO per 100 around the holidays for 

 years, still holding this extraordinary price. When sold at retail, single buds 

 bring $1.50 to $2.00 each at Christmas. In color it is a deep brilliant pink, 

 shaded toward the centre with rich carmine crimson.

 shade of yellow, large size and perfect form, 

 tea fragrance, a healthy, free grower, and
