Two New Sports of the Hoover Rose 
Beauty and utility reach new heights with the introduction of these two fine new 
Roses . Most Roses of easy growth have lack-luster blooms. The delicate color-blends 
of these free-growing plants are truly wonderful.

Texas Centennial Rose 
Forever in the gardens of the world 
A rose will hold the sceptre and the 
throne, 
Unharmed by some pretender of a day — 
Sure sovereign of a kingdom all her 
own. 
In Texas for a glorious hundred years 
The rose’s fragrance has bewitched the 
air, 
And, listening to a mockingbird’s sweet 
song, 
Young girls have fastened roses in 
their hair. 
In nineteen thirty-six a new queen 
reigns — 
One in whose youthful, regal body flows 
A pure rich stream of noble, royal blood — 
A lovely, radiant queen—Centennial 
rose. 
Her arms are graceful as green wood¬ 
land ferns; 
Her body a slim pedestal of jade — 
A red rose burnished with the setting 
sun — 
A queen whose matchless beauty will 
not fade. 
—Ella V. Freeman
