THE 1962 ALL-AMERICA CHAMPION 



CHRISTIAN DIOR 



t\ H.T. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1943. In the short span of years since it won the 

 * All-America award, tliis splendid red rose has gained enormous stature among 

 roses of this color. The picture gives you a hint of the reasons why. Gorgeous 

 color — superb form! The brilliant crimson of Christian Dior is made richer by scarlet 

 overtones. When seen in the large 50 to 60-petaled blooms, this color is eye-filling. 

 As for form . . . the flowers are beautifully high-centered; the petals, gracefully 

 outcurling. Blooms come individually on long stems and are exceptionally fine for 

 cutting. They last a long, long time in the vase or on the bush, and unlike many 

 other reds, do not fade or lose their bright beauty. Actually, under electric light in 

 the house, they seem to be even brighter. Christian Dior blooms abundantly and 

 continuously; and the plant, which is vigorous, grows tall in upright style. Its good, 

 glossy foliage provides the right background for the magnificent red of the flowers. 

 Now add a nice touch of tea fragrance, and you have a red rose — the red rose — which 

 has been called "'the finest in the world today." $3 ea.; 3 or more, $2.65 ea.

The NEW Rose 

 on the cover 



This is the non-conformist among 

 our rose personalities . . . the rose 

 that dared to be different . . . the 

 rose that chose to make its own way 

 in the world instead of following in 

 the safe footsteps of its parent. 

 We've called it Candy Stripe and 

 in our own non-conformist way 

 have put its picture, big and bold, 

 smack on the front cover for all to 

 see. The fact is that we do not want 

 anyone to miss it who values and 

 appreciates the unusual. Candy 

 Stripe is identical in every way 

 except one to the magnificent Pink 

 Peace, of which it is a sport dis- 

 covered here at West Grove. The 

 deep, dusty pink of the huge flower 

 is striped and streaked at random 

 with off-white or very light pink 

 which gives a most happy expres- 

 sion to the flower itself, and causes 

 everyone who sees it to marvel at 

 the quirks of nature. In all other 

 respects, Candy Stripe is like Pink 

 Peace — enormous blooms coming 

 one to the strong stem, abundant 

 flowers, strong plant. Buds are fat 

 and open to 6-inch blooms with 60 

 to 65 petals. The plant is tall, up- 

 right in form, very vigorous. Foli- 

 age is large and leathery and richly 

 green. The flowers have a strong, 

 pleasant fragrance. I suggest that 

 you turn back to the cover and take 

 a good, objective look at Candy 

 Stripe. Ask yourself if you are the 

 kind of gardener who would ap- 

 preciate and enjoy the novelty of 

 owning an oul-of-the-ordinary rose 

 like this. 1 like it very much myself.
