Something Very Special in Flowering Shrubs 



OTTO LINNE 



(Full name, Gartentlirektor Otto Linne) After 29 years of almost total obscurity, 

 this rose-shrub is enjoying the spotlight, and with plenty of reason! We re-introduced 

 it last spring because we felt that it was exactly what many of our customers are look- 

 ing for ... a beautiful rose-shrub that is always loaded with flowers and needs little 

 care. We had only a few plants, and we priced it at $5 — but every plant was snapped 

 up early in the season. We have a new crop of Otto Linne now — and we've cut the 

 price 40%. Last spring, we limited sales to 3 to a customer: this time there's no limit. 

 This is your opportunity to enjoy a truly remarkable rose-shrub. It is literally a mass 

 of flowers! Each cane bears enormous trusses of deep rose-pink blooms — hundreds 

 and hundreds to the bush. The plant grows to 3 to 4 feet — grows upright — is very 

 vigorous — and as hardy and disease-free as any other flowering shrub. This is one of 

 those rare no-spray, no-dust roses that need 

 almost no attention at all — like The Fairy be- 

 low. It has light green, leathery foliage. When 

 you cut a single truss of Otto Linne, you have a 

 bouquet! In 1937 (26 years back), the American 

 Rose Annual said of Otto Linne, "The first stem 

 from a dormant bud carried 170 blooms!" Well, 

 I wasn't there to count them myself — but I was 

 there when the picture was taken, and you know — 

 they may be right! S3 ea.; 3 or more, S2.65 ea.

PILLAR OF FIRE 



NEW (Shamburger) Plant Pat. App. For. On every home property 

 there's a spot somewhere where a dominant accent or focal point is 

 needed. The eye needs to be drawn at once to that spot — whether at 

 the back of the garden or in the middle of a large, open expanse of lawn. 

 No plant that I know of is more suited to accomplish this than our new 

 introduction — Pillar of Fire. Like Otto Linne and The Fairy, it is never 

 without flowers; and these flowers are brilliant eye-catchers . . . bright 

 coral-red blooms that seem to scintillate in the sun. They grow in 

 clusters of color — a blazing bush standing 8 or more feet tall. Plant 

 Pillar of Fire using a sturdy pole or trellis for support, and you'll have 

 the color -spot you want to enliven the surroundings — something that 

 you, your friends and your neighbors will all admire and share. Why 

 not try Pillar of Fire? $3 ea.; 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



A Very Special Rose THE ?*£*W FAIRY 



Let me tell you why I call this shrub, or hedge-type, rose fabulous. 

 ALL IT ASKS OF YOU IS TO BE PLANTED! It does not 

 need prepared garden soil (will grow almost anywhere) — it does 

 not need full sunlight (will grow even in semi-shade) — it does not 

 need spraying or dusting (will withstand insects and disease) — 

 it does not need pruning (unless you wish to cut it). IT IS 

 FOOLPROOF! In return for the chance to live, The Fairy 

 gives you hundreds and hundreds of seashell-pink flowers from 

 spring to frost without let-up; and thousands of small, shiny 

 leaves which, in themselves, are mighty attractive; a husky 

 bush which grows vigorously and in spite of everything to a 

 height and breadth eventually of 4 feet. Cut all the flowers you 

 like and The Fairy still has plenty more. Plant this marvel in 

 a row for a really wonderful living fence of flowers — plant it 

 alone for its beauty as a flowering shrub. Above all — PLANT 

 IT AND ENJOY A NEW EXPERIENCE IN ROSE GAR- 

 DENING . . . YOU'LL BE GLAD I TOLD YOU ABOUT IT! 

 S1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.55 each; 25 or more, $1.40 each.
