THi: FABlLOl S FAIRY 



If you are not familiar with The Fairy you have a real treat in 

 store! This is a fabulous character among the better shrub roses. 

 An absolutely foolproof plant, it has almost every good quality. 

 Planted alone, it is a beautiful 3 to 4-foot shrub that bears hundreds 

 of appealing seashell-pink flowers, and makes an excellent individual 

 lawn specimen. Planted in a row it is a colorful hedge. Grows vigor- 

 ously and will eventually be as broad as it is high. It can be used 

 with other flowering shrubs in a shrub border because of its resistance 

 to diseases and insects. It will provide that all-summer bloom which 

 you do not enjoy with most flowering shrubs. Its foliage is some- 

 thing like that of boxwood — small, shiny and beautifully green, adding 

 an extra ornamental quality. Lovely pink flowers in multitudes hloom 

 from spring to frost. Many shrub or hedge roses bloom only in 

 May or June, but with The Fairy bloom is continuous. 



This shrub rose is so vigorous and hardy that it will flourish any- 

 where, even in semi-shade. It needs no special soil preparation and 

 very little spray or dust. The delightful little flowers make attractive 

 bouquets, and you can cut them all you want — there'll always be 

 plenty left on the bush! Use The Fairy along a property line; a 

 terrace or patio edge; around a pool or almost anywhere. $1.75 ea. ; 

 3 or more, S1.55 ea.; 25 or more, $1.40 ea. 



RED 

 GLORY 



THE FALRY 



RED GLORY 



(Hybrid 311) Plant Pat. 1885. Another outstanding 

 hedge rose. Grows 3 to 4 feet, is neat, orderly and 

 easily maintained. The plant is busy, upright and 

 handsomely foliaged. It's almost continuously smoth- 

 ered from spring to frost with clusters of vivid red, 

 semi-double flowers. Planted 18 to 24 inches apart it 

 provides an easy-to-keep, permanent, good looking, 

 flower-covered hedge fence . . . with a minimum 

 amount of maintenance. Red Glory is quite hardy and 

 has been reported over wintering without any pro- 

 tection in Wisconsin. This friendliest-fence-in-the- 

 world is popular with gardeners everywhere. The cir- 

 cular, close-up picture on the left gives you some idea 

 of the bright beauty of Red Glory's flowers. 6 for 

 $4.45; 12 for $8.45; 24 for $15.95; 48 for $28.95; 

 96 for $49.95. 



PILLAR OF FIRE 



PILLAR OF FIRE 



(Shamburger) Plant Pat. 2329. Here's a really colorful beauty that will 

 catch and hold the eye of every passerby. It's a very tall growing shrub or 

 pillar rose that is superb as an individual accent plant on the lawn and /or is 

 also dramatic in a row in the background. There is nothing better for screening 

 out an objectionable view; simply plant several in a row. Pillar of Fire grows 

 to 8 feet or more and is always bright with vivid flowers, each a coral-red beauty 

 that sparkles in the sun. Coming in brilliant clusters, from top to bottom of 

 the plant, the flowers are, in effect, a pillar of fire. You will find that it is strong 

 enough to stand alone, or can be easily trained as a climbing rose and made to 

 "fan out" wide on a wall or trellis. Use it wherever you want a dominant mass 

 of color; an eye-catching focal point on any side of your property. But give it 

 plenty of room. $3 ea.; 3 or more, $2.65 ea.
