be trained up against the wall of lattice-work, not leaving more than two 
branches after the first winter’s pruning, and these should be cut back to at 
least one-half to promote vigor and sturdiness of growth. In future years the 
laterals can be shortened in and thinned out sufficiently to prevent over¬ 
crowding. All dead wood should be removed at each season’s pruning. Where 
planted in rose gardens they should be set 2% to 3 feet apart each way. 
Hedge roses, such as the Agrippina and Gruss an Teplitz, should be planted 
18 to 24 inches apart. In later years they will stool from the ground and 
make a compact hedge. The type to which the varieties listed herein belong 
is noted following the names. As an illustration the Hybrid Tea rose is a 
cross of the Tea with an other type of rose.

Agrippina it is classed as a single bloomer it is of double appearance,

American Beauty 
\ • ry Is Probably more widely known than any other 
American oeauty variety grown in this country. It was found grow- 
(Hybrid Perpetual) ing in France by an American tourist who brought 
it to this country and named it American Beauty. 
It is used -extensively by the florists as a cut-flower. The buds are very 
hardy for cutting and slow in opening. The flowers are of large size, shading 
from pink to deep rosy crimson, of beautiful globular shape and highly 
scented. The plant is a strong grower and produces blossoms in abundance. 
Too much cannot be said of this rose and every home garden should have 
one or more bushes of this magnificent variety. 
q r To all those desiring a climbing rose of rare 
Beauty or (juazenwood beauty we recommend that they plant the 
(Miscellaneous) Beauty of Glazenwood. This is without a doubt 
one of the hardiest and most attractive roses grown in this country. 
The unusual combination of bronzed yellow or copper and fawn color, 
coupled with its strong growing habits and deep green foliage place it among 
the best of climbers. 
It is one of the very first varieties to bloom in early spring and we feel justi¬ 
fied in giving it the highest recommendaton.
