NEWER VARIETIES FOR GREENHOUSE USE— Continued 



American Beauty. This popular Rose is almost too widely known 

 to need a description. The name would imply that the variety is of 

 American origin, but the fact remains that to France belongs the credit 

 of having produced American Beauty. It properly belongs to the Hy- 

 ')rid Perpetual or Kemontant class, and yet differs from others of this 

 lass in tli;ii as a fianli'ii Hcisc i! is an almost universal failure. As 

 iKroenlinuM' i;.,-,', Anirncaii Beauty lias hosts of friends. The flowers 

 ire larfic ami lull prtali'd. 'ilic deep pnik cdloris wonderfully effective, 

 mt for its frafirancc alune American Beauty would be a favorite. It 

 likes a deep soil with abundance of room for root action and abundant 

 ventilation. As the variety is considered better on its own roots we do 

 not list it grafted. For certain soils infected with eel worm, grafted 

 plants aiv licitir. It does equally well, in our opinion, on Manetti and 

 we will tiral i Beauty to order, if so desired, at the same price as Kil- 

 irnev and dilier \-arietios.
