Peace is the first Rose to be awarded the National Gold 

 Medal of the American Rose Society, the highest Rose honor 

 in America. This award is based on two-year tests in the So- 

 ciety's Official Test Gardens. All top National Awards have 

 now been given Peace in France, England and America. 



Of even greater importance to home gardeners, prize-win- 

 ning Peace Roses are easy to grow. Peace has been taking 

 "Queen of the Show" and other top awards at local Rose shows 

 all across the country, winning for both beginners and experts. 

 An especially interesting "Best of Show" bloom is pictured 

 just below. This one Peace Rose was twice a winner, and there 

 were a total of 999 judges! It was entered in a 

 show class in which all interested show visitors 

 were the voting judges. There were 52 Rose 

 entries and the votes for Peace topped the total 

 for all the others combined in two days of voting! 

 Professor MacAndrews wrote, "The second day 

 we had the privilege of entering a new Rose but 

 I decided to enter the same Rose again, as it 

 still looked mighty good to me in spite of its age 

 and exposure to the heat of a show room in June. 

 It was again selected as the best Rose." 



Of the Durham show winners pictured at the 

 bottom of the page, where Peace took all the top 

 awards, a show chairman wrote somewhat plain- 

 tively that it was because of the ease with which 

 Peace is grown to great size etc., as compared 

 with other beautiful 

 Roses. 



Peace is extra large 

 and long lasting, while 

 its fresh, da wn-hke color- 

 ing gives it an ajjpear- 

 ance of liglit, delicate 

 loveliness. Its tints of 

 yellow, pale gold, cream 

 and ivory show a vary- 

 ing blush of pink on the 

 lightly rullled" petal 

 iclges. The plant is as re- 

 markable as the bloom, 

 with great, tall, strong 

 stems and handsome 

 foliage. Peace is the 

 Rose of today. $2 ea.; 

 3 for $5. 



Above: Mrs. J. L. Briley of Thomasville, Ga., won a 

 vase, ribbons and "Best Rose of Show" with Peace 

 from one bush she had planted less than three months 

 before. She says she "entered a single and a vase of 

 three and won 1st prize on both."
