"Skyrocket" (Kordes 1935) 
Sheathed in copper-green foliage numerous rocket-like canes shoot from the ground in 
surprising rapidity. Reaching their zenith they quickly divide into long, airy sprays. These 
sprays again divide into many stemmed bracts, the whole forming giant cones of beautiful 
buds. The calyxes roll back. The long canes arch slightly. There is a momentary pause. Boom! 
The rocket-like Roses burst forth in a flare of glorious crimson, reflecting a rose-colored glow 
on the white at the base of the petals. Exquisitely clustered in the flower formed sconce of 
crimson, sulphury yellow stamens, like long, waxen tapers, throw out pin-wheels of sparks. 
These sparks are the gold-burnished anthers. For days the heads of bloom fill the garden with 
glorious color. Then, as dying flares from a rocket, the Roses fade out and the spent petals 
float slowly back to the ground. 
Again and again is this spectacular performance repeated, substantiating our statement 
that this new semi-double Climber “Skyrocket” is a wonderful Rose. Price Each $1.00.

A glorious new yellow Rose ... a Howard & 
Smith production . . . which we are presenting 
for your consideration for the first time. It is a 
Rose which we feel certain is going to stand the 
test of time wherever Roses are grown. In color 
it is a pure, exquisite shade of lemon-yellow. 
The buds are of superb form, long and pointed, 
expanding into a flower of enormous size, well 
petaled and extremely fragrant. The fragrance 
is a most luscious tea odor, a qualification lack¬ 
ing in too many yellow Roses, and to our mind 
one of the most important factors to be con¬ 
sidered in the qualities of a Rose. 
There is not a Rose we know of, and our col¬ 
lection is a large one, that has foliage any way 
approaching this glorious variety. The latter is 
a rich, glossy green and is as near mildew-proof 
as any Rose grown. The ensemble of the plant 
as a whole, taken from the various points of 
growth, productivity, fragrance, form or, in 
fact, any of the points which speak for a high- 
class type, leaves little or nothing to be desired. 
We are of the opinion that when it becomes 
better known it will take its place as one of the 
outstanding modern yellow Roses. The plate 
which we reproduce in this bulletin will convey 
an idea of its elegant bud form . . . buds which 
presage a beautiful open flower. 
Stock for distribution this year exceedingly 
limited. Price, each, $1.50. 
Mrs. Paul Goudie 
A novelty Rose of exceeding beauty ... on a golden- 
yellow ground is superimposed carmine-crimson stain- 
ings with a distinct heavily margined picotee effect at 
the outer edges of the petals. This Rose was greatly 
admired in our Rose trials of the previous season. 
Price, each, $1.50. 
Malar Ros (Kordes, 1932) 
A new German Rose with large, pointed, oval-shaped 
buds carried on rigid stems. The large, rich crimson 
flowers are fully double. They are remarkably sweet- 
scented . . . the intense old Rose perfume. It is a first 
class new variety equally fine for cutting as for bed¬ 
ding. Price, each, $1.50.

The Perfumed Rose 
Howard <£ Smith 1934—U. S. Patent No. 67 
Winner of three Gold Medals. A rose of outstanding 
merit with buds and flowers that are perfect in every 
stage of development. The vigorous bushes are of up¬ 
right, branching habit. Of perfect form from the 
expanding buds until fully developed. Out of the long 
pointed buds unfurl the graceful petals one after an¬ 
other with the margins elegantly reflexed, but always 
in harmonious symmetry. The brilliance of their lus¬ 
cious cherry rose color enhanced by a glow of scarlet is 
even more intense under artificial light. 
Price, each, $1.50. 
Pink Dawn (1935) 
Another Howard & Smith origination, and one which 
we predict will climb rapidly in popular favor. Buds of 
ideal form, long and pointed; color an entrancing 
shade of salmon-rose; base of petals deep orange. 
Price, each, $1.50.
