f(//l/SU ALL-AMERICA WINNER FOR 1972 



^^ Hybrid Tea. (Meyer.) Plant Fat. App. For. From the first bud of spring to the last 

 'i^s rose of summer, Portrait is a very appeaHng, pretty flower of soft but rich pink. We 

 tried it out here in our own testing fields for its hybridizer, Carl Meyer, before entering 

 it in the All-America trials. So we are well acquainted with its capabilities and are happy 

 to recommend it highly. 



Urn-shaped buds become large blooms with a satiny blush on the edge of the petals. 

 Light golden tones wash over the open bloom, \vhile the outside of the petals remains an 

 even pink. High centered, about 4 inches in diameter, with over 50 petals. Lovely tea 

 fragrance and stems of medium length. Extremely vigorous and free blooming, the plant 

 is disease resistant, rugged and hardy. 



"It grows good, it looks good, it smells good, it IS good!" 

 $4.50 ea.— 3 or more, $4.15 ea. 



Dear Friends: 



Our Star label that we attach to 

 each and every rose we sell (and have 

 since 1906) means a great deal to me, 

 for it represents in our eyes the quality 

 that we strive to put into every plant. 

 For this reason the following letter 

 just received from a customer im- 

 pressed me. Mrs. Edwin H. Withing- 

 ton writes: 



"Here is a 'cutie' for you. 

 "Little Andy lives next door and 

 frequently watches me when I am 

 gardening. Last week he asked as I was weeding the roses if 

 my roses are 'night' roses. That really had me puzzled, and 

 of course I asked why he thought that. The answer is because 

 all the tags have stars on them. Perfectly logical!" 



I am so glad to know that our Stars — to me the symbol of 

 quality — can so stimulate the imagination of a little boy that 

 he can see "night roses" in them. 

 Sincerely, 



S. B. HUTTON, Sr.

Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) 

 r/ rj Plant Pat. 2032. Smooth as satin, 



^^ firm as velvet, soft as silk! Flawlessly formed, extra 

 ^^s large, heavily perfumed, Royal Highness is truly royal 

 in every sense. The thick petals are of the softest baby pink, 

 with darker pink in the center of the bloom. Flowers are 

 enormous, with a perfect high center and long stiff stems. 

 The large pointed buds open slowly and impressively, to 

 form substantial, long-lasting blooms. Waxy, very dark and 

 leathery leaves cover an average-height plant. Even in 

 damp weather the flowers open easily and they stand rain 

 unusually well. On their strong straight stems they stand 

 proudly erect, as if in defiance of any bad weather. 



This is the perfect rose for cutting and often a winner on 

 show tables. When you plant Royal Highness you are sure 

 to join its many fans. You'll find yourself watching every 

 bud that forms, so as not to miss one day of this enchanting 

 flower's beauty. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.20 ea.
