The Fairy As A Tree Rose 



SOMETHING NEW AND WONDERFUL 



The fabulous Fairy, used so often as a shrub rose or in 

 a hedge, makes a beautiful tree rose. The large, well- 

 rounded head stands superbly on its 3-foot trunk and 

 is a mass of pink flowers in spring- and clear through 

 the summer. But the most amazing thing about The 

 Fairy tree rose is its hardiness. In fact, it is so hardy 

 that it has lived through a cold, rough Chicago winter 

 without protection! The Fairy needs no care —that 

 means no spray, no dust, no muss, no fuss. All you do 

 is plant it, admire it, marvel at it. The gay pink color 

 will be with you all season long because hundreds of 

 new buds keep opening in steady succession. And 

 small, shiny leaves make the seashell-pink beauty of 

 the blooms even more attractive. Use The Fairy tree 

 rose as an accent plant, as a specimen or as terminal 

 plants at the ends of a row of Hybrid Teas or Flori- 

 bundas. For further information on The Fairy, turn to 

 page 51. 



SEA FOAM TREE ROSE 



Sea Foam is a brand new introduction this year — seen 

 for the very first time in this catalog on page 26. We 

 are pleased that we can offer it immediately as a tree 

 rose as well as a bush. This hardy plant is a good 

 grower loaded with beautiful white blooms as large as 

 2 inches; double and well-formed. The first year it will 

 grow as an almost perfectly rounded ball, but in the 

 second year it will begin to make runners which will 

 drape downward in a cascade of white foam . . . 

 forming a "weeping" rose that is unusual, interesting 

 and altogether lovely. Sea Foam is carefree also.
