18-225 R. M. S. Queen Mary 



(H. A. Verschuren, 1937). Plant Patent No. 249. The 

 tremendous enthusiasm expressed by thousands of Rose 

 enthusiasts when this magnificent Rose was first introduced 

 is now shared by practically all gardeners. R. M. S. Queen 

 Mary certainly is beautiful beyond description — distinct 

 from anything yet seen in Roses. Its color is a glorious 

 combination of vivid shades blending rich glowing salmon 

 with an exquisite pure pink and orange base. The buds are 

 long and pointed, and the gracefully formed flowers have an 

 intriguing fragrance. Awarded 4 Gold Medals and 3 First- 

 Class Certificates in Europe and U. S. A. Si. 00 each; 

 SIO.OO per doz. 



18-028 Crimson Glory 



(Kordes, 1934) Plant Patent No. 105. The most famous of 

 all red Roses. Makes a vigorous plant with abundant disease- 

 resistant deep green foliage. Of compact growth, well-branched 

 and symmetrical. Bears a profusion of large urn-shaped buds 

 which open to shapely flowers of an intense, deep, vivid, non- 

 fading crimson shaded with deep red and mellowed by a 

 velvety nap. Awarded 2 Gold Medals; 1 Silver Medal; and a 

 Certificate of Merit. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



18-168 Mrs. Oliver Ames 



(H. A. Verschuren, 1941) Patent Pending. This takes its 

 place among the most fragrant of all modern Roses. Of upright 

 growth bearing an abundance of well-formed mellow chrome 

 yellow blooms with a silvery sheen at the petal tips. Si. 00 each; 

 SIO.OO per doz. 



18-204 Orange Nassau 



(H. A. Verschuren, 1941) Plant Patent No. 350. Certainly 

 one of the most attractive Roses ever introduced as the

 early. $1.00 each; SIO.OO per doz.
