•LOVE SONG. H.T. (Fisher.) Plant Pat. 1360. 

 Please tarn back and lake another look al the glowing beauty 

 of this great Rose. Don't you agree that Rose lovers 

 everywhere will keep this Love Song on their Hit Parade 

 for years to come? Such superb color tones, such mag- 

 nificent size, unusual form and richness of foliage! A pity 

 it is that the best color camera fails to catch the luminous 

 fire and glow of Love Song's wonderful waterinelon-pink 

 petals with their vivid yellow reverse! No other Rose is 

 like it . . . uo other Rose has such smooth blendings of 

 soft yellows and shining pinks, such rare color contrast 

 and harmony at the same time. Now imagine large, 

 shapely, pointed buds opening to tremendous, perfectly 

 formed blooms so large that you cannot believe your e>cs! 

 We have counted as many as 100 petals on a single Love 

 Song bloom. The long-stemmed plant is big and handsome, 

 too, growing upright and strong, with large, deep green, 

 waxy leaves. Free-blooming and fragrant. Don't miss this 

 grand new hit of '56! $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, S2.20 ea. 



• PRESIDENT EISENHOWER 



AMERICA'S CHOICE 



• • • A great red Rose of 



outstanding personality 



• PRESIDENT EISENHOWER 



H.T. (Hill.) Plant Pat. 1217. This Rose 

 seems to have the ability to" win friends and 

 influence people." Perhaps it's the bright, 

 clear, true red color which appeals so much 

 — or the exciting big blooms — or the sturdy 

 character of the plant — or all three in com- 

 bination. Rut whatever it is, this much is 

 certain . . . President Eisenhower is fast 

 assuming the title of The New American 

 Reauty. This new charmer blooms con- 

 tinuously. Notice the beauty of the bud 

 and the wonderful form of the bloom. 

 Imagine the fragrance of the great blossom 

 on a summer morning. The 35 to 10-petaled 

 blooms come on a heavy-caned plant with 

 bushy foliage that stands from 2J^ to 3 feet 

 tall. There is even more to make this an 

 outstanding Rose: the happy fact that this 

 vigorous grower is also disease-resistant. 

 The dark green, leathery leaves add their 

 rich touch of color, too, so that the over-all 

 effect of President Eisenhower in any gar- 

 den setting is wonderful, indeed. Re glad 

 next June . . . order this fine Star Rose 

 now! $2.25 ea.; 3 or more, 82 ea.
