NEW ROSE, PINK AMERICAN BEAUTY 
Named Queen of Edgely 
This famous new Rose originated four years ago as a sport of the American Beauty at 
the nurseries of The Floral Exchange, located at Edgely, Pa., where it has been under care- 
ful observation and cultivation 
since 1897. The Rose is an exact 
counterpart of the American 
Beauty in every particular ex- 
cept that of color. It has the 
same vigorous growth and beau- 
tiful foliage of the parent plant. 
Its fragrance is delicious and 
closely resembles that of the out- 
door June Roses. In color it is 
a bright pink, approaching 
Mine. Caroline Testout and 
Bridesmaid, and an excellent 
point is that, as the Rose grows 
older, it fades to a lovely shade 
of light pink. The flowers are 
large ana deep, cup-shaped and 
full, averaging 5 inches when 
full blown (some reaching 7 
inches in diameter), and are 
borne on stems often 6 feet long, 
foliaged to the very flower. Its 
keeping qualities are excellent.

LADY MARY CORRY 
Growth vigorous and of 
erect, branching habit ; blooms 
of good size, freely produced and 
perfectly formed; color deep 
golden yellow. Distinct and 
fine. 50 cts. 
LADY CLANMORRIS 
Perfectly distinct ; a splendid 
Rose, of very robust growth and 
free branching habit, flowering continuously and freely throughout the season : blooms 
very large and of good form, petals large, smooth and of great substance ; creamy white 
with delicate salmon center, edge of the petals margined pink. 75 cts. 
BESSIE BROWN 
A Rose of transcendent beauty, totally distinct, and one of the largest and fullest that 
we have ever seen. It is erect and vigorous in growth, flowering profusely in the open 
ground all through the summer ; so far ( December 15) it shows fine promise indoors. Color 
pure white, sometimes faintly flushed pink ; petals enormous and of shell shape ; it is mar- 
velous that such large flowers can be so freely produced. Received gold and silver medal 
from the National Rose Society (England), and numerous certificates and prizes. 75 cts. 
WHITE LADY 
One of the startling new Roses of recent date. It has gigantic flowers with enormous 
magnolia-like petals ; one of the handsomest and most effective of Roses, and very distinct. 
The color is white, delicately flushed with pale pink ; blooms are borne in great profusion 
on stiff stems, with heavy foliage. Longer stems would rank this with American Beauty, 
but we recommend it to every Rose-forcer for trial. In our local trade buyers have been 
carried away with its beauty, and are willing to pay a good price for the blooms. In Eng- 
land, the past year, it took first prize at the Crystal Palace show for twelve blooms of any 
white Rose over The Bride, Bessie Brown, and others. 75 cts. 
The 5 above mentioned have been tried and found not wanting. We will send the 
full set for $ 3 . 50 . Strong young plants.
