The Exciting New All-America Award 
Bicentennial new for 1976 
Floribunda. (Meyer.) Our birthday gift to America. BICENTENNIAL is truly 
American—created by our pipefitter friend, Carl Meyer of Cincinnati, who gave 
us the 1972 All-America Winner, Portrait. From the luxurious warmth of the 
deep rich red velvet brushed freely across the petal margins to the lively brighter 
red shades at the center, BICENTENNIAL is as exciting as our past. Brilliant 
red buds of excellent form roll open to showy, attractive, double blooms 3! 
inches across. A tiny, distinctive point at the tip of each petal adds charm and 
grace to the flowing contour of each shapely bloom. A light tea fragrance is the 
perfect complement. 
Like a skyrocket on the 4th of July, BICENTENNIAL is alive with sparkling 
color and tremendous energy. Plants are sheer perfection—bushy, well branched 
and very vigorous, producing mounds of sparkling flowers all summer. The rich 
mantle of glossy dark green foliage provides the perfect backdrop for the colorful 
display. Plant Pat. App. For. 
$4.90 ea.—3 or more, $4.60 ea.

Dear friends: 
We began planning for our Nation’s 
“birthday” back in June of 1971 when we 
chose our most spectacular test rose, 
CP 4613, to be registered with the American 
Rose Society as BICENTENNIAL. It was a 
gamble at first, but CP 4613 seemed to know 
it had been chosen. The more we saw the 
more we knew this was The BICENTEN- 
NIAL rose for you, our friends. 
BICENTENNIAL is truly American 
created by our pipefitter friend from Cin- 
cinnati, Carl Meyer, the hybridizer of Por- 
trait. And, it is the perfect blending of the 
old and the new from the luxurious red 
velvet of yesterday to the lively red shades of 
today. 
In addition to BICENTENNIAL, I would 
like to introduce to you the four All- 
America Winners for 1976: America, the 
climber we have all been waiting for; 
Yankee Doodle; Seashell; and Cathedral. All 
will bring you joy and pleasure for years to 
come. 
Sincerely, 
LIGA dm, £

1976 All-America Award Winner 
Hybrid Tea. (Kordes.) Deep, rich 
* shining yellow suffused with glowing 
scarlet a bright yet warm color. Seldom have 
you seen blooms as full, often with over 100 
petals, unfurling slowly to an attractive 
bloom more than 5 inches across, and with a 
light subtle perfume. Petal edges are del- 
icately scalloped for a light feathery eye- 
catching effect. 
YANKEE DOODLE’s superb plant is 
outstanding in every way—strong, very tall, 
freely branched, broad and upright—give it 
lots of room. A lovely gown of glossy olive 
green, almost holly-like, leaves completes the 
striking ensemble. Hardy, rugged, disease 
free—a rewarding and heartwarming combi- 
nation of excellence. Plant Pat. App. For. 
$4.90 ea.—3 or more, $4.60 ea.
