CREAM OF 



New Roses, gathered from all the 

 world, bring fresh interest to a quiet gar- 

 den. It is exciting to grow and get to 

 know these new beauties, some with 

 exotic new tints and colors, some with 

 great, sturdy plants that mark a new ad- 

 vance in Rose vigor. We consciously 

 limit our list of novelties to those we be- 

 lieve have real added merit. All have 

 been widely tested before being offered 

 here. Hence, we call them the "Cream 

 of the Newer Roses" and they are se- 

 lected with one thought in mind — to 

 bring you satisfaction in your garden.

Buttercup-yellow buds and blooms on fast-growing, up- 

 right, extra-tall plants. Here, they grow to 5 ft. in height, 

 wonderful as back-row and accent plants, and for cutting. 

 The buds are long, sleek and dapper, the blooms cupped, 

 with about 30 petals and light, very sweet fragrance.

 advantage the bright gold of the flowers, which come with 

 swaggering abundance. The 1952 Gold Medal winner at
