PEARL HARBOR 



"The Memory Rose" 



(See color plate page 118) 



An American introduction that fitly commemorates the place and 

 occasion that united as one man the minds and hearts of every loyal 

 American. 



Some of the remarkable features of this Rose are embodied in a plant 

 of tremendous vigor. It will grow and bloom freely under adverse 

 conditions, and there is scarcely a period during the season when 

 magnificent buds and flowers are not available. The large fragrant 

 flowers are borne on vigorous canes; the buds are long and the upper 

 surface of the petals is a delicate shell pink with golden bronze shadings 

 at the base. The outer or reverse side of the petals is vivid Tyrian rose. 



Another feature which will add to the popularity of this Rose is the 

 scarcity of thorns on the stems, which appear practically thornless. 



Price, 2-year-old dormant plants. $1.75 each. 



DOUGLAS MacARTHUR 



"The Commander's Rose" 



(See color plate page 118) 



A grand new Rose has come into being. A very vigorous, hardy, free- 

 blooming Rose. The name of America's outstanding soldier was chosen 

 because it is also destined to be an outstanding leader among Roses. 



Extensive trials in all sections of our country have proven the worth 

 of this vigorous upright growing Rose. 



The strong bushes send up numerous shoots clothed with dark green 

 leathery foliage. As a flag unfurls, the long pointed buds open slowly 

 into glorious high centered flowers of fine proportion. The color is hard 

 to define, it being an exquisite blending of rose, gold and salmon. 



When you pass in review of the Douglas MacArthur Roses in bloom 

 in your garden and catch the beauty of their unfurling buds, you will 

 surely give it a most merited salute. 



Price, 2-year-old dormant plants. $1.75 each. 



ANZAC 



"The Soldier's Rose" 



Here is a Rose that requires no coddling; 

 given the ordinary requisites of rich soil, mois- 

 ture and sunshine, Anzac (the Soldier's Rose) 

 will always do its duty in your garden. 



Its vigorous growth and leathery foliage 

 foretell the advent of many shapely buds and 

 beautiful flowers. Buds of fifty waxen petals 

 steeped in coral and washed with gold unfold 

 into perfectly formed fragrant camellia-like 

 flowers. As the flowers expand the original 

 colors lighten, the golden flush at the base of 

 the petals passes to yellow and the coral 

 changes to rosy lake. 



Price, 2-year-old dormant plants, $1-75 

 each. 



HEART'S DESIRE 



(Patent 501) 



The All-America Gold Medal 



Winner for 1942 



Heart's Desire possesses all of the good 

 qualities that are desired in a rose. Originat- 

 ing from a fine lineage of dependable garden 

 roses, it has inherited a strong constitution 

 which results in a vigorous growing plant, 

 with beautiful rich green foliage that is strong- 

 ly disease-resistant. The color is an attractive 

 deep red, which does not take on a purplish 

 tint, nor is in any other way adversely affected 

 by hot sunshine. The formation of the flow- 

 ers is ideal, the buds are long and pointed. 

 Its fragrance is that of an exquisite haunting 

 perfume. 



Price, 2-year-old dormant plants, $1.75 

 each. 



GRANDE DUCHESSE 

 CHARLOTTE 



(Patented) 

 This Magnificent Rose Won Second 



Place for 1943 



Among the Most Beautiful New 



Roses in Cultivation 



Grande Duchesse Charlotte brings us an 

 entirely new color shade in Roses. This 

 would be classed with the reds, a claret shade 

 that reminds one of sundown in the Grand 

 Canyon of the Colorado, or as may be seen 

 in some handsome old tapestries. The long 

 streamlined buds of rich chestnut-claret open 

 to very large, firm-petaled flowers of geranium 

 red. changing to begonia-rose. In unfolding, 

 the petals recurve to an informal, artistic 

 form, with a hint of carnation perfume. 

 Leaves are large, glossy and dark green. 



Price, 2-year-old dormant plants, SI. 75 

 each.
