WHITE KNIGHT 



/^^ II.T. (Mcilland) Plant Pat. 1359. For years and years the experts 

 A^5 thought it could not be done — nobody could create the almost 

 perfect white rose. But White Knight proved how wrong even the ex- 

 perts can be. First of all, this is white — really white. And so nearly 

 perfect, in addition, that it won the All-America award in 1958 and still 

 remains the only ivbite hybrid tea rose to have won that honor. This is 

 proof enough — from the Judges — that White Knight belongs in your 

 garden. 



Consider its many qualities: big, beautifully formed bud and blossom. 

 Non-fading pure white color. Satiny texture. Free-blooming and long- 

 lasting. A real quality, exhibition type rose with 5-inch flowers that are 

 exquisitely formed, opening from a long, pointed bud. Blooms keep 

 coming continuously and in quantity. The stems are long and strong, 

 so you will take many blooms into your home for proud display. White 

 Knight flowers last unusually long both in and out of doors. The bush 

 grows with moderate vigor to 3 feet, has exceptional green foliage and is 

 disease-resistant. A beauty! $2.75 ea.; 3 or more, $2.40 ea.

PINK PEACE 



H.T. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1759. Here is a pink rose that is so good it 

 was considered appropriate to call it Pink Peace. It's a great rose and a 

 direct descendant of that finest rose of all time — Peace! The deep, dusty 

 pink — a most attractive shade that's rich, soft and fetching — is com- 

 pletely charming. The huge and luminous blossoms are really free bloom- 

 ing, too. This is an unbeatable combination — luscious color and king- 

 size proportion plus freedom of bloom! 



The buds are large and pointed, and the flowers are fully double and 

 beautifully cupped, with 60 to 65 petals. A satiny pinkness lines the in- 

 side of the flower, and the edges are delicately curled and curved. The 

 fine pink coloring is retained during the entire life of the flowers. The 

 fragrance is strong, pleasant and memorable. The plant is tall growing, 

 disease resistant and has great vigor. It is upright, well branched and 

 bushy, with strong canes and well-distributed, large, leathery leaves. 

 Pink Peace is a "double beauty" . . . both flower and plant comple- 

 menting each other. A winner of major awards at Rome, Geneva, 

 Madrid, Lyons and Paris. $2.75 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.40 ea.
