. Illustrated and descriptive book of field grown, own root roses for the people. Nursery stock California Catalogs; Roses Seedlings Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs. California Rose Co., Los Angeles. i i AMERICAN BEAUTY. (H. R.) (See illustration opposite page.) Who has not heard of or "raved " over American Beauty Roses? Most appro- priately named of any rose in this book; it is truly a " Beauty ,? and American. There are Roses and Roses, but for stateliness, grandeur, majestic bloom, fragrance and generous foliage, American Beauty well grown and in its prime is without a peer; its mammoth flowers, produced on great stalks two to three feet long, well covered with the most liberal foliage known in roses, combined with the richest fragrance of the Tea varieties, are a sight—a fact—which one may well go into ecstasies over. A very valuable feature of this rose is that it blooms through the entire growing season and is at the same time perfectly hardy for cold sections. Color a deep, brilliant pink, shaded with rich carmine-crimson. The cut flowers in eastern markets often bring $ each. 25 cents each; $ per dozen. ADMIRAL DEWEY, (H. T.) The originator's description is as follows; 11 Delicate blush-pink, shading to white, globular, expanding into a full flower without showing center. A sport from Madame Caroline Testout, more vigorous in habit and a very free bloomer. The flowers are borne on long, stiff stems, requiring little or no tieing. Certificate at Boston; bronze medal and certificate at New ; 50 cents each; $ per dozen. ANTOINE RIVOIRE. (T.) A new rose of much merit and value for garden culture; a handsome, clean and vigorous grower and profuse bloomer. Color, rosy-flesh, on a yellow ground, often shaded with a border of carmine; flowers of extra large size, delicately formed and moulded and open in the most charming manner, petals reflexing and rolling back not unlike a Camelia blossom. 25 cents each; $ per dozen.
