The Fairy as a Tree Rose 
Something New and Wonderful 
It was a brilliant idea to grow The Fairy as a tree rose; and from my point-of- 
view an even more brilliant one on somebody’s part to plant one of them on the 
lawn where I can see it from my office window. If you have a spot of lawn and 
a window overlooking it, you can share my own pleasure as I admire The Fairy 
Tree Rose by planting one of your own this spring. This is the first time that 
the immensely popular Fairy, used so often as a shrub rose or in a hedge, has 
been available in tree form. The result is astonishingly beautiful. The large 
head standing superbly on its 3-foot trunk is a mass of pink flowers in spring 
and is colorful all season with hundreds of new buds opening in steady succession. 
Small, shiny leaves make the seashell-pink beauty of the blooms even more 
attractive. It is easy to imagine The Fairy Tree Rose serving as an accent 
plant, as a specimen or as terminal plants at the ends of a row of Hybrid Teas 
or Floribundas. In any of these uses, your satisfaction would be assured, for 
The Fairy has a way of making itself thoroughly liked. For further details 
about how hardy and dependable the Fairy is turn to page 46. It is the same 
as a Tree Rose. For a closeup look at the delightful flowers, see page 47 where 
The Fairy is shown as a small bouquet. 
CANDY STRIPE (See page 64) Won- 
derful, new, striped beauty that’s 
different from any other. Most un- 
usual. Large, fragrant blooms come 
one to the stem on a lusty plant. 
CHICAGO PEACE (See pages 1 & 3) 
Just like Peace in every way except 
that it’s fragrant and the colors are 
changed. Rich pink with yellow and 
copper tones at the petal bases. ..a 
real knockout as a tree rose! Highly 
colorful, very beautiful. One of the 
most impressive. 
CHRISTIAN DIOR (See page 3) High 
centered blooms in rich, bright red 
distinguish this long lasting rose. Blooms 
come individually on long stems. Out- 
standing as bush and as a tree. 
CHRYSLER IMPERIAL (See page 12) 
Big, solid, deep red flowers on good cut- 
ting stems. Rich fragrance. A very im- 
pressive rose that would make any gar- 
den more attractive. Petals are large and 
flower form is excellent. As a Tree Rose, 
Chrysler Imperial is even more eye- 
catching than as a Hybrid Tea.

cellent color, form, fragrance and 
growing habit make this one a stand- 
out. A peach and pink beauty.

PINK PEACE (See page 8) Giant 
flowers in non-fading, rich pink are 
fragrant and altogether lovely. Strong

awards in four European countries, 
and is a solid favorite in America.
