The Most Famous Rose 
“AMERICAN BEAUTY.” 
A hardy Rose of the largest size, having the eyer- 
blooming qualities of the Tea Rose, with the delicious 
odor of the Damask Rose, consequently equally valu¬ 
able for winter or summer flowering. In color it is 
a deep, brilliant rosy-carmine, shaded toward the 
center with rich carmine-crimson. This is unquestion¬ 
ably the most popular Rose now 
before the public, a popu¬ 
larity due entirely to its 
splendid value as a winter¬ 
forcing variety. (See cut.)

NEW HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, LADY BATTERSEA. 
NEW HARDY HYBRID TEA ROSE, LADY BATTERSEA. 
A seedling variety of great distinctness of character. The growth is vigorous, 
the shoots long, with fine green leaves, each shoot bearing a flower thrown well 
above the foliage, and produced singly so as to require little or no disbudding. 
The buds are long, oval and pointed, and of a beautiful cherry-crimson, permeated 
with an orange shade. The flowers are of moderate size and almost full, with the 
petals so well together as to retain their form for a long time. When first open 
the blooms are light rosy-crimson, still keeping the orange tinge of the bud, bril¬ 
liant in the extreme, passing to pure soft rose, the color clear and attractive. 
Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d 
size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
A SPLENDID, NEW RED ROSE, “RICHMOND.” 
This splendid, new red Rose was raised by E. G. Hill & Co., and is the most 
valuable addition to the list of winter-blooming Roses sent out in years. It blooms 
as freely as the freest of the Monthly Roses, very easy to grow, splendid foliage, long 
stems. * The color is magnificent, a rich scarlet-crimson, the most vivid and rich 
yet produced in the Hybrid Tea Rose. Unlike other red forcing Roses, it does 
not “blue” with age. 
Price, 1st size, 60c. each; 2d size, 40c. each; 3d size, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 
NEW BEDDING ROSE, “CORALLINA.”

particularly during the autumn months. It is a constant and abundant bloomer, 
strong stems and fine foliage, fine for cutting; its vigorous, healthy habit and 
bright color making it exceedingly valuable for the garden.

3d size, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.
