I've tried to get together for you a collection of older roses which, in my opinion, are 

 without equal as to color, form, growth habit and dependability. I think I have suc- 

 ceeded in choosing for what I call our 5 Grand Old Masters collection such great 

 names as Charlotte Armstrong, Peace, Lowell Thomas, Crimson Glory and Blanche 

 Mallerin. Three of them are All-America winners and the other two have earned 

 exceptionally high reputations for themselves over the years. All are just as good 

 today as they were when first they appeared in America's gardens. I hope that you | 



will find in them the same great pleasure which they have given to millions as in- i 



dividual roses in the past. This is the first time that all have been offered in the same I 



collection. 



CHARLOTTE ARMSTRONG 



H.T. This is one of the great 

 roses of all time — great be- 

 ^g^ cause of its own beauty and qualities, great, too, because it has served as the par- 

 j^^ ent of many another fine rose. Charlotte Armstrong's color is a real pleasure to 

 ^^ see . . . lovely rose-red at its glorious best. The long, slender buds (see the 

 picture) open to admirEibly formed flowers which are held on long stems as though 

 designed for the purpose of cutting. You will have plenty of such flowers, for the plant 

 is a vigorous one. S1.95 ea.; 3 or more, §1.75 ea. 



PP A ^P H.T. (Meilland.) Not only the most talked about rose of all time, 

 r ^#^\s& but also the highest rated by experts and amateurs alike. If a poll could 

 ^^^ be taken to find the most popular rose in the history of rosedom, Peace would 

 'x^^ win it hands down. There are good reasons — among them, wonderful, big, solid 

 blooms of yellow with tinges of delicate pink at the petal edges — and an amaz- 

 ingly vigorous plant which, even if it had no blooms, would be a lovely sight to see. 

 But it does have blooms and they are gorgeous. The foliage is exceptionally fine, too, 

 being leathery, thick, shiny and beautifully 

 dark green. The very large leaves are truly 

 ornamental. Peace has won every im- 

 portant rose award on several continents — 

 among them the All-America — and in- 

 numerable prizes and ribbons at rose shows. 

 I'm mad about Peace, myself. TopsI 

 $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, §2.20 ea.
