*M I RANDY. H.T. (Lammerts.) Plant Pat. 632. 

 &f!¥f%i The first-place winner in the two-year AII- 

 ^■V*T America Rose Competition for 1945. The il- 

 lustration shows the superb form and glamorous color- 

 ing of this great new Rose which does not have to 

 struggle for top place; it starts there and is destined 

 to be a most popular crimson Hybrid Tea Rose for 

 years to come. 



The huge, 50-petaIed, deep crimson flowers open 

 slowly from exquisitely modeled, ovoid buds, often 

 long-pointed, and filled with rich, penetrating Damask 

 fragrance. In hot, moist atmospheric conditions the 

 aging flowers turn to a pleasing, popular Dubonnet 

 wine color. 



In our Rose-fields this marvelous Rose 

 blooms continuously from early in June 

 throughout the hot summer months until 

 stopped by hard frosts. $1.50 ea.; 3 for $4. 



• MRS. PAUL R. BOSLEY. H.T. (Bosley.) 

 Plant Pat. 441. An unusually large number of fine 

 new yellow Roses have been introduced recently. 

 Among them, Mrs. Paul R. Bosley should not be 

 overlooked. An exhibition type, with high-centered 

 blooms held firm and erect above the dark, leathery 

 foliage. Fragrant. This is a clear yellow sport of the 

 magnificent and well-known Rose, Mme. Joseph 

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



• NARZISSE. H.T. 

 (Krause.) Fine light yel- 

 low. This is the most su- 

 perb maize-yellow variety 

 that has yet appeared. The 

 blooms are a marvel for 

 size; big, streamlined buds 

 of apricot-yellow open to 

 massive flowers of maize- 

 yellow. Sturdy, tall plants 

 with large, glossy foliage. 

 A prize-winning exhibition 

 Rose. $1.25 ea.; 3 for 

 $3.35. 



• PEACHBLOW. H.T. 



(Coddington.) Beautifully 

 modeled, fragrant, 20-pet- 

 aled blooms of peach-pink 

 with golden base, flushed 

 and veined rose-pink. An 

 exquisite cut-flower, per- 

 sistent in bloom, long last- 

 ing on the bush and when 

 cut. $1.50 ea.; 3 for $4. 



• RUBAIYAT. H.T. (McGredy.) Plant 

 Pat. pending. Brilliant cerise-red. 

 The new 1947 All-America award 



winner. It has a graceful, long, shapely 



bud and a wealth of old-Rose fragrance. 



The shining, very bright cerise-red color in 

 the heart of the half-open bloom is accented by the 

 reverse of the petals, which is several shades lighter. 

 The extra-large flowers are borne in profusion on 

 long, upright stems. The plant is tall and vigorous, 

 with luxuriant dark green foliage. A remarkable fea- 

 ture of Rubaiyat is that it actually deepens in color as 

 it opens, the bud being appreciably lighter in color. 

 Rubaiyat was so named because its profuse and re- 

 peated flowering suggested the line from the RUBAI- 

 YAT of Omar Khayyam: "Morning a thousand 

 Roses brings." $2 ea. ; 3 for $5.
