THE MOST POPULAR NEW ROSE OF OUR ERA 



Before Dr. Allen presented the American Rose So- 

 ciety Gold Medal for Peace, last Red Rose Rent Day, 

 he asked the audience of about 700 people how many 

 thought Peace was the finest Rose ever created. You 

 should have seen how the hands went up! Considering 

 all the great differences there are in taste, it is truly 

 amazing that any one Rose should be so universally 

 considered the best of all. 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 gardener. The sparkling freshness 

 and ever-changing beauty of the flowers bring a lift 

 to the spirit of almost everyone who sees it. And it is 

 practically always in bloom, so it is there to be seen. 



Peace flowers are the most long lasting of all Hy- 

 brid Tea Roses. The buds are golden, with a flash of 

 pink along the petal edges. They open very slowly 

 to excitingly handsome blooms of yellow, pale gold, 

 cream and ivory with a varying flush of pink on the 

 edges of the lightly ruffled petals. Peace Roses vary 

 in color from day to day and from flower to flower but 

 arc always beautiful, always with that other-world 

 look of delicacy and dewy freshness. 



The final miracle of Peace is that the plant is as 

 remarkable as the blooms, with long, straight, mag- 

 nificently strong stems and some of the most hand- 

 some, shining, dark green foliage known to Roses. We 

 have heard people say they would grow that Rose for 

 its foliage alone. We doubt that, but it will give you 

 an idea of how much of an added attraction its hand- 

 some foliage is, and how it does help dress up a Rose 

 planting. 



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 and see 

 its glory change and grow from day to day can fully 

 enjoy its full enchantment. It is a gardener's Rose, 

 above all. It is a Rose your garden should have, 

 wherever you live, for it does well everywhere. If you 

 have room for only one Rose, plant Peace. If you are 

 blessed with greater garden space, plant as many as 

 vou can. It will repay you. $2.50 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $2.20 ea.
