AMERICAN BEAUTY—Rose of the ‘‘Gay Nineties.” 
©V arieties 
AMERICAN BEAUTY. H. Perpetual. (1886.) 4-5 feet. | 
No modern rose has equalled its rich fragrance; none are likely to take 
its place in the sentimental memories of the older generation. When 
planted in part shade, or cut and opened indoors, color is deep, live rose 
shaded smoky carmine—if must be planted in the full hot sun the faded 
color will not remind you of those old-time florist beauties. In this case, 
best you retain your nostalgia and leave the plants with us. 
A large, full-bodied and heavily perfumed rose, recurrent bloom. |

AMERICAN BEAUTY CLI. (1909.) 10 - 15 feet. 
A vigorous and very beautiful climber, with the bush form as one of its | 
parents—almost identical in color, form and fragrance—long cutting stems | 
—abundant and repeating bloom. 2.00 | 
ADELAIDE d’ORLEANS. (Sempervirens.) 15 feet. 
A rambler from the Mediterranean, which we can imagine growing there 
on a steep hillside—or with its relaxed canes hanging over some old stone 
wall, fence, or gnarled tree. Produces profusely—repeating thru season, 
clusters of tiny, perfectly formed buds, opening wide to flowers of creamy 
white, flushed pink. G. S. Thomas, England, says ‘they hang in charming | 
clusters like the flowers of the Japanese cherries.” 225 2
