American Beauty. In 



Mrs. Chas. Russell. uM lavorite of the public 



commands the lead as tin- ta\ orite Rose of the Amer- 

 ican people. It is really a Hybrid Perpetual, and the 

 growing of American Beauty to perfection is an art in 

 itself; but its full-petaled, deep pink bloom remains at 

 the top of the market, and -American Beauty will still 

 be grown in spite of the other valuable new aspirants 

 for the honor of iH'ing the liiu r-t Rose in .Vinerica.

rs of old-time Roses 

 SiU ne. Its bright, 

 -(■(I blooms, which are I'llK-d with fragrance 

 and are produced in greatest prolusion, rank this va- 

 riety at the head of the list of small Roses for corsage 

 and tabli' work. 

 Bride. (( .rafted only.) A pure Tea Rose and one that 

 has been with us for many years. It has been largely 

 displaced by White Killarney and its sports, but 

 there are some who still grow Bride and we keep and 

 grow some plants of it for their accommodation. 

 Bridesmaid. (<. Irafted only.) In its day. the best pink 

 Rose ol commerce; today, a Rose that is hard to 

 find, and which, like Bride, must be ordered early to 

 insure our grafting a sufficient supply. 

 Cecile Brunner. .\ delicate |iink cluster Rose which, 

 for freedom of tlowering and for the \aried uses to 

 which it is put. has no e(|ual. It is the corsage boiuiuet 

 Rose of the nation, and whether known tinder its 

 light name, or as Swi'ctlieart or .\Iignon, it will 

 remain one of tlu- popular Roses of commerce. 



Double White Killarney. 



ing and best white Rose 



of White Kill,iine\ 

 Budlong strain, lui- 

 sports in e\vi\ i.-i 

 that Double While 

 strain. It is imn' u

I bis Rose is the lead-

 is Rose, known as the 

 superiority to the other 

 1 it is recognized today 

 e\ means the Budlong 

 ill.' llowers are of great 

 l\ ircoinmend it as the 



Beauty 



w red Rose of great substance 

 and keeping (|ualitv; without doubt it is one of the 

 best new Roses olfered to the growers of t his country- 

 It is an e.\( c lient grower, producing a gooil (piantity 

 of bloom ol high ([uality on heavy, strong stems. It 

 IS piim.uih- .1 summer Rose and is not at its best 

 e\c ept ill warm weather. 

 George Elgar. Similar to Cecile Brunner in that it is 

 ,1 ( luster Rose, also in freedom of growtli and in pro- 

 ductiveness. It IS a decided novelty, as a yellow 

 cluster Rose lor corsage and table work has been 

 luvded.
