American Beauty Roses 
ROSES, 
The Bride. Most beautiful of the white 
Tea Roses, and forced in numberless 
quantities every year. The great, solid 
flowers remain perfect long after cutting; 
the stems are long and stiff, the foliage 
large and glossy; tender. 
Bridesmaid, Clear bright pink, of an 
exquisite shade. Grown chiefly for its 
large, solid and handsome buds; the 
stems arc good; the foliage glossy. Ex- 
cellent also for bedding. Not hardy in 
this latitude. 
Crimson Rambler. The famous crimson- 
clustered climber, so extremely effective 
when grown on pillars and trellises. The 
plant is a vigorous grower, making shoots 
8 to lo feet long in a season. The foli- 
age is large and glossy; the plant looks 
like a mass of double crimson flowers 
when in bloom. The panicles are large 
and remain perfect for several weeks. 
Hardy anywhere. 
Coquette des Alpes, A free-blooming 
Rose of medium size; white, tinged with 
continued 
pale rose. Exceedingly dainty and at- 
tractive. 
Clothilde Soupert. A grand free-flower- 
ing Rose; fine for bedding out or pot 
culture. The flowers are very double 
and handsomely formed, borne in sprays 
Outer petals pearl-white, shading to a 
center of rosy pink. 
Crested Moss, Deep pink-colored buds, 
surrounded with a mossy fringe and crest; 
free from mildew. A fragrant, very beau- 
tiful Rose. 
Dorothy Perkins, Of the same strong 
habit of growth as the Crimson Rambler. 
Large for a Rose of this class, very double, 
of a beautiful shell-pink color; sweetly 
scented, and borne in clusters of thirty 
or forty. One of the best. 
Duke of Edinburgh, A seedling of Gen- 
eral Jacqueminot; large, double flowers 
with little fragrance, bright crimson in 
color; foliage large and attractive. Blos- 
soms very early in the sea,son. A hand- 
some Rose.
