• PEACE 



Winner of the National Gold Medal of the American 

 Rose Society. Leading winner at Rose Shows all 

 over America ever since its introduction. 



The American Rose Society has printed 

 pages and pages of comments on Peace, 

 sent to the Society by members from all 

 over America. We quote a few of these 

 comments (and since the national rating 

 of Peace, based on these reports, is 9.5 

 out of a possible 10, you can see that all 

 the pages of comments had to be almost 

 solidly of such high praise). 



"If I were limited to one Rose, I should 

 choose Peace." "Exquisite in every stage." 

 "No complaints. Wonder if we will ever 

 find anything wrong with it." "The blue 

 ribbons this Rose has won across the country 

 are comments enough." "Wonderful! Su- 

 perb! Colossal!" "Best Rose I have seen in 

 58 years of Rose growing!" "Most beautiful 

 flower that grows." "Too beautiful to be 

 true. It has no faults." "This Rose needs 

 no comments. There are none to compare." 



If you have never lived with this Rose, 

 the excitement over it must seem ex- 

 aggerated. It has to be seen, as the pic- 

 tures do not do it justice and there is no 

 other Rose like it. Only those who grow 

 it can fully enjoy its full enchantment, 

 for it changes from day to day in glorious 

 variety. $2 ea. ; 3 for $5.

THE QUEEN OF ROSES 



Blue Ribbon Winner 

 for Expert or Beginner 



Peace is a sunset caught in a Rose. Peace 

 is a joy to the eye and a lift to the heart. 

 Peace is the one Rose you should have, if 

 you can grow but one; and the one Rose 

 you should have a lot of, if your space per- 

 mits. It will reward you. 



Peace Roses vary in color from day to 

 day and from flower to flower but are al- 

 ways beautiful. The buds are golden with 

 a flash of pink along the petal edges. They 

 open very slowly, giving long-lasting blooms 

 that show delicate tints of yellow, pale gold, 

 cream and ivory with a varying flush of 

 pink on the edges of the lightly ruffled 

 petals. Though the very double bloom is 

 huge, it has delicacy and a fresh loveliness 

 even in the fully open flower, which is as 

 beautiful as the opening bud and even more 

 exciting. Its lasting qualities are a new 

 high in Roses. 



The final miracle of Peace is that the plant 

 is as remarkable as the blooms, with long, 

 straight, magnificently strong stems and 

 ■ handsome, shining, dark green foliage. We 



1 know of no other one Rose that has brought 

 (g) so much delight to so many different people. 



c.-p. Considering differences in taste, it is amaz- 



°°- ing that any one Rose should be so uni- 



versally admired. Yet if you grow it in 

 your garden, you can see the reason why. The gal- 

 lant way those mighty stems lift the proud blooms 

 endears it to the h 'art of any gardener. To see these 

 Roses in your own g irden on a quiet summer evening 

 is to know pure beauty and a sense of peace.
