SOME SPECIAL ROSES 



OTTO LINNE 



Loads of bloom 



all of the time 



This rose has vivid rose-pink color and many special uses 

 as a shrub rose or lawn specimen that needs no special 

 care. Otto Linne was first introduced as Gartendirektor 

 Otto Linne in 1934 by Peter Lambert in Germany. Old- 

 timers among rose growers enthusiastically welcomed our 

 re-introduction of this almost forgotten rose in America 

 in 1963. It grows about 3 to 4 feet high, its strong canes 

 carrying enormous trusses of the most delightful deep 

 rose-pink flowers. In the American Rose Annual of 1937 

 it was stated that "the first stem from a dormant bud 

 carried 170 blooms!" In addition to the rare beauty of 

 the rose itself the foliage is outstanding. It is light, clear 

 green in color, leathery in texture and is glossy — good to 

 feel. It is very abundant, making the bush itself sub- 

 stantially full and attractive. The plant is exceptionally 

 vigorous, and its canes arch outward gracefully. It blooms 

 all of the time, and one of its trusses makes a whole 

 bouquet. $3 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



THE Fabulous FAIRY 



Plant it , . . you^ll love it 



The Fairy is a rare rose treat! It's fabulous — an absolutely foolproof plant 

 that has every good quality and no bad ones. Plant it alone and it's a beau- 

 tiful 4-foot shrub that bears hundreds of appealing seashell-pink flowers. 

 Plant it in a row and you have a splendid, colorful hedge. The Fairy grows 

 vigorously and will eventually be as broad as it is high, so allow extra room 

 when planting. Its foliage is something like that of a boxwood — small, 

 shiny, beautifully green — adding an ornamental quality that would make 

 the bush desirable even if it had no flowers. The lovely pink flowers delight 

 from spring to frost. With many shrub or hedge roses the bloom comes only 

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

 plant is so fine it will flourish anywhere, even in semi-shade. It needs no 

 special soil preparation. Remember, The Fairy can be used in many places 

 and many ways to enhance any home and property. $1.75 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $1.55 ea.; 25 or more, $1.40 ea. 



PILLAR OF FIRE 



Always bright with blooms 



(Shamburger) Plant Pat. 2329. This is a NEW and interesting, tall-growing 

 flowering shrub rose (some would call it a pillar) that is superb as an indi- 

 vidual accent plant on the lawn, or as a background. It can well be used as 

 a tall hedge to screen out an objectionable view. It grows up to 8 feet or 

 more and is constantly bright with flowers, each a coral-red beauty. The 

 blooms fairly sparkle in the sun, coming in brilliant clusters from top to 

 bottom of the bush and making, in effect, a pillar of fire. Using a sturdy 

 pole or trellis for support, many plant Pillar of Fire for a dominant mass of 

 color and a wealth of beautiful red flowers as a focal point. It can even be 

 planted unslaked but it needs a lot of room for spreading! $3 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $2.65 ea. 



FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI 



A favorite Hybrid Perpetual for years 



Hybrid Perpetuals are the older types of roses that were in existence about 

 1850, before the creation of the modern roses of today. They were the im- 

 mediate ancestors of the hybrid tea rose. We introduced Frau Karl 

 Druschki back near the turn of the century, and this special rose has won 

 a following all its own. Everblooming, it is famous for its huge, double white 

 flowers that open from pointed buds tinged with carmine-pink. The bush 

 is tall growing and extremely vigorous. It has very dark foliage which is 

 most attractive. Those who once plant Frau Karl Druschki like to re-order 

 and add more to the lovely setting from time to time. $1.75 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $1.55 ea.
