Its fragrance is a combination of Tea and Magnolia, and is very delightful and distinct from that of any other variety, A free and vigor- ous grower, with beautiful deep glossy foliage. Remarkably free flowering and an excellent winter bloomer. 25c. The New Rose, 'American Belle.' A pink colored sport from the 'American Beauty' and the grandest acqui- sition to the Rose family in many years. Raised by Mr. John Burton, of Chestnut Hill, one of the most successful rose growers in this country, it has created a sensation wherever shown, and has carried Fiest Honors at the recent exhibi- tions in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Cin- cinnati, and elsewhere throughout the United States. Both the flower and the foliage are entirely distinct from -those of the 'American Beauty.' The color of the flower is a deep, clear pink, without the slightest tinge of blue, even after being cut for a few days. Instead of turning bluish as the 'Beauty' does with age, the 'Belle' becomes still more pink as the flowers get older. This characteristic is a most valuable one and makes this rose pe- culiarly desirable for cutting. In the bud stage the color of the flower is deeper, but as it expands the pink shade becomes pure and distinct , mak- ing it a fit companion for the 'Beauty,' to which beautiful vatiety it is an aux- iliary or companion, and not a competi- tor. The delightful fragrance of the 'Beauty,' the sweetest of any rose known, is also possessed by the '' Belle'' in an equal degree. The growth of the 'Belle' is not quite so strong as the 1 'Beauty,'' but the bloom is even freer. The foliage is quite distinct—a fine deep green. Price 50 and 75 cents. Rainbow.
