NEWEST 

 STAR ROSES 



^GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY. H.T. 



(Mordfgan.) _ Plant Pat. 806. A new 

 Rose named in celebration of our own 

 Golden Anniversary. It took an out- 

 standing Rose to carry that signif- 

 icant name, but this is an outstanding 

 Rose. It is a sport of Good News, 

 with flowers as handsomely formed 

 but a fine old-goId color, flushed 

 apricot at times. Best of all, it is a 

 golden Rose on a truly vigorous, well- 

 branched plant with dense fohage right 

 down to the ground! For the pknt re- 

 tains the sturdiness, shapeliness and 

 leaf mass of its parent, all the more re- 

 markable in a yeHow Rose. The plants 

 under test have bloomed heavily and 

 continuously; no other H.T. in the 

 entire test plot has been able to keep 

 up with them. $2 ea. ; 3 for $5. 



NOTE: Throughout this catalog, 

 please note that Rose prices are held at 

 the same low level that they were in the 

 fall of 1946. Certain varieties, newer then, 

 are even less than in 1946. What else can you 

 buy today of which that is true? We are doing 

 everything possible to hold our prices against 

 inflation, attempting to offset rising costs with 

 high-gear production and increased sales. 

 Right now, our Roses are the value of the day 

 for adding grace and beauty to your garden and 

 your home. Take advantage of it, and hold the 

 line against inflation at the same time.

•ANNA MARIE. H.T. (Ohihus.) Propagation 

 Rights Reserved. A new introduction of The 

 Conard-Pyle Company, originated by our own 

 hybridizer and named for his small daughter. It 

 is a dehghtful Rose, very large and double, of 

 clear, fight, silvery pink. The great, beautifully 

 furled buds open slowly, with the individual petals 

 large and of heavier texture than commonly found 

 in so double a Rose. This prevents "bafiing," and 

 it opens beautifully in afi kinds of weather. The 

 fuH blooms are unusuafiy fine. Each petal tip 

 curls back to form a perfect point, perfectly ar- 

 ranged around the high, furled center, to give a 

 classic Rose form. The great blooms are held 

 proudly erect on very firm, strong stems on tall, 

 vigorous, stately plants. Long lasting on the bush 

 or as cut-flowers; in fact, it is practicafly in the 

 class with Peace in that respect. Dark, leathery 

 fohage; new canes and foliage stained bronze-red. 

 $1.50 ea.; 3 for $4.
