Christian Dior 



THE FASHION PLATE OF YOUR GARDEN 



^gs H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1943. When I first 

 '/^|p saw this rose 5 or 6 years ago in our testing fields 

 here in the oldest rose-growing town in America, 

 I said to myself, "John, boy, if this one doesn't wind up 

 as an All-America winner, you'd better turn in your pad 

 and pencil and call it quits." I wasn't really sticking 

 my neck out very far at that, because Christian Dior 

 was obviously so wonderful that it couldn't help winning! 

 Here's what I jotted down on my clipboard that day 

 in the fields: "Great! Be sure to enter in All-America 

 trials. Has everything! COLOR— rich, bright, scarlet 

 iridescence over fine crimson-red. FORM— high-centered 



very double, solid I with 50 to 60 petals. Medium large, pointed, good-looking 

 Dud. r R AGRANCE— smells good, sort of a light tea rose perfume PLANT 

 —grows tall, upright, has nice, glossy foliage. VIGOR— apparently what the 

 Doctor orderec'. Watch this baby!" Well, that's just what we all did, and we 

 tound out other things about Christian Dior; for instance, that it blooms 

 abundantly and continuously . . . that the marvelous color does not "blue" 

 or lade . . . that the blooms, which incidentally grow on long stems are 

 perfect for cutting . . . that they last very long ... and here's something 

 that they actually grow brighter in color under electric lights in the house' It's 

 also the winner of the "Most Beautiful Rose of France" Award Why did 

 we name it Christian Dior? Well, because it is a French rose— it is elegant 

 —it is a beautiful creation. We also thought it would make an appropriate 

 monument to a great creator of fashions. $3.50 ea.; 3 or more, S3.10 ea.
