PEACE 



the Wonder Rose 



The Peace rose is the 

 greatest achievement of 

 the French hybridizer, the 

 late Francis Meilland. It 

 has an uncanny history, 

 it was christened in 1945, just as Berlin 

 fell. Blooms of it were placed in the rooms 

 of the 49 head delegates to the first United 

 Nations convention in San Francisco, with 

 messages of hope for world peace. Later 

 that same day came the news of victory in 

 Europe. The das when Peace was an- 

 nounced as the only All-America Rose 

 Selection of 1946 turned out to be V-J Day. 

 And on the day when the American Rose 

 Society presented its gold medal to this 

 rose, the peace treaty with Japan was signed. 



PINK PEACE 



CHICAGO PEACE 





vfitm 



Hybrid Tea. (Johnston.) Plant 

 Pal. 2073. About ten years ago 

 a grower in Chicago discovered that his Peace rose had 

 "sported" a different offshoot. This variation was there- 

 fore named Chicago Peace, and it has become extremely 

 popular too. It's a carbon copy of Peace so far as grow- 

 ing ability, hardiness and flower production are con- 

 cerned, but has two characteristics of its own: a different 

 color and old-fashioned fragrance. The color is rich 

 shimmering pink with canary-yellow and sometimes 

 coppery tones. 



An exciting cut flower and garden rose.

Hybrid Tea. (The House of 

 Meilland.) Plant Pal. 1759. Still 

 another of the large Peace family, not so well known but 

 a beautiful color and a superb plant. Flowers are deep 

 dusky pink — a favorite for cutting, especially since they 

 last so well. Fully double, with a high center surrounded 

 by broad, substantial petals. The color has a lovely 

 glow. Pleasantly perfumed. Very tall and bushy — a 

 standout in any garden. A fine choice for the back row 

 of a planting. It takes plenty of growing space. 

 $3.50 ea. — 3 or more, $3.20 ea.
