THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWER THAT GROWS" 



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 

 permits. It will reward you. 



Peace Roses vary in color from day to day and 

 from flower to flower but are always 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 know of no other one Rose 

 that has brought so much delight to so many different 



• CHARLES MALLERIN. HT. (Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 933. A gorgeous Rose, with buds and blooms of 

 midnight crimson velvet, the "blackest" big red 

 Rose to date. It does not blue. Its form, as well as 

 its coloring, is exciting, with 30 or 40 petals, broad and 

 heavy, and a high, cone-shaped, handsome center. It 

 is richly, gloriously fragrant. The plant is vigorous 

 and tends to throw some extra-tall blooming canes 

 without much regard for symmetry, at times. Good, 

 disease-resistant foliage, unusually resistant to black- 

 spot and mildew. $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea. 



people. Considering differences in taste, it is amazing 

 that any one Rose should be so universally admired. 

 Yet if you grow it in your garden, you can see the 

 reason why. The gallant way those mighty stems lift 

 the proud blooms endears it to the heart of any gar- 

 dener. To see these Roses in your own garden on a 

 quiet summer evening is to know pure beauty and a 

 sense of peace. 



Both the American Rose Society and the Men's 

 Garden Clubs of America have given their gold medals 

 to Peace. (The former has been given only to Peace 

 and City of York; the other has been given to no 

 other Rose.) Ever since its introduction, Peace has 

 been the leading award winner at Rose shows. 



If you have never lived with this Rose, the excite- 

 ment over it must seem exaggerated. It has to be 

 seen, as the pictures 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. $2.50 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $2.20 ea.
