Hoosier Beauty 
Hoosi 
I 'lov This is a most l)rilliant crimson-scarlet Rose, with darker 
)S1( 1 l>t<UU_\ . shadings on the outer petals to almost black and a texture like 
velvet- The hud is of good length and opens into a magnificent bloom that is fairly 
dazzling. It is an unusually free and continuous bloomer, a very strong grower, and sends 
out stiff shoots with a bud on every one and stems two to three feet long. This Rose, with 
perhaps the exception of Mrs. Russell and Sunburst, attracts more attention from visitors 
than any other we have, and is easily the most brilliant of the scarlet-crimson Roses, a 
splendid garden variety. Price, 1-ycar plants, 25 cts. each; 2-year plants. 75 cts. each; 
3-yea.r plants, $1 each. 
.All our Rose plants are shipped with soil on the roots and arc much mo.re valuable than 
if shipped with the roots bare; they are in condition to live, and start at once to grow. 
Our plants, too, arc on their own roots, and will not worry you by throwing up shoots 
of wild .growth from the roots as budded plants invariably do; these wild shoots always 
take the strength from the improved bud and your plant is soon worthless.
