And Good Enough 
to Bear That Grand 
Old Name 
American Geauty 
This flower will arouse the 
envy of your friends when they 
see its rare and enchanting 
beauty in your garden. They 
will ask what it is, and where 
you got it. It is really beautiful 
and out-of-the ordinary. 
_ We have had Carnations be- 
- fore, but mostly hothouse types. 
This one is hardy; will stand 
severe freezing; will live out- 
side through hard, cold win- 
ters, and continue for years, 
without replanting. Don’t you 
want it in your garden? 
American Beauty truly is everbloom- 
ing—not intermittent; it produces loads 
of blooms continuously from about 8 
weeks after planting until frost. The 
scores of blooms and their amazing 
beauty, brilliance, and fragrance, make 
it a bargain.

Caruatiou pemericau Geauty 
Here we sing a song of beauty, and of enticing, 
spicy fragrance. Here is a flower you will love to look 
at, and one you will love to smell. We have thought 
of calling other flowers “American Beauty”, but did 
not because such a grand old name should be reserved 
for something that really merits it—and this flower 
surely does. You have ordered other Hardy Carna- 
tions by thousands, and so we know you will welcome 
this new one. 
Color: Approximately as shown; but remember, 
pictures can never portray color faithfully. You will 
have to see American Beauty in bloom to get the 
[28] 
whole glorious tale-—beauty, fragrance and color.

inches tall with 30 to 50 beautiful blooms at a time.
