American Beauty. Tile leading Rose in the cut- 
flower market ; color, deep rose. In foliage and size 
of flower it resembles the Hybrid Perpetual class. 
It is as fragrant as any of the hardy Roses, and this, 
together with its vigor, large size, beautiful color, 
long stems and continuous bloom, places it at the 
head of winter-blooming Roses. The. half-blown 
buds are magnificent. 25 cts. 
Bridesmaid. New ; a sport from that old standby, 
Catherine Mermet. The variety retains all the good 
qualities of the parent, besides adding charms not 
possessed by it. All know that Catherine Mermet 
takes precedence as a pink Rose. More plants of it 
are cultivated by the amateur, and more cut blooms 
sold by the flower dealer, than from any other pink 
Rose. 25 cts. 
Clothilde Soupert. This novelty introduces a new 
and remarkable class of bedding and pot Roses, 
combining the Tea and Polyantha blood. It is of 
very strong, vigorous growth, forming a nice-shaped 
plant, and attaining about 15 inches in height. The 
flowers are pearl-white, with a vivid carmine-rose 
center, which fades after a little, leaving the Rose 
almost white. It resembles the Hybrid Noisette 
Boule de Neige in form. 25 cts. 
The Bride. A sport from Catherine Mermet, with 
which it is identical in growth and shape of flowers. 
One of the best varieties for corsage wear or bouquets.
