Golden Glow 
The Brownell Roses 
HAVE gathered together on this page the introductions of the 
Brownells of Little Compton, R. I., who have gained prominence 
in recent years in the breeding of Roses, and who are now among 
America’s foremost breeders. 
The Brownell Roses are noted for their yellow shades and extreme 
hardiness. Last year we offered one of their Sub-zero Hybrid Teas; this 
year we have two. And we want especially to call attention to their new 
strain of creeping or trailing Roses for bank- and ground-covers. 
HYBRID TEAS 
BREAK O’DAY. HT. (The Brownells, 1937.) Plant Patent applied for. A robust 
plant with large, double flowers of orange-apricot, shaded with lighter flesh tints; 
fragrant. Good foliage. 50 petals. With us it is remarkable for its strong growth, 
its fragrance, and for its huge clusters of flowers. A bedding Rose of exceptional 
merit. $1.50 each. 
LILY PONS. HT. (The Brownells, 1938.) Plant Patent applied for. Long-pointed 
buds open to large, very double flowers; the center is deep yellow shading out to 
palest yellow and white. This Rose is remarkable for its vigor, its handsome foli¬ 
age, and its profusion of flowers which at times reach exhibition size and shape. 
This is a bedding Rose well worth acquiring and, like others of the Brownell 
strain, it will improve with age. $1.50 each. 
CLIMBING 
APRICOT GLOW. LC. (The Brownells, 1936.) Plant 
Patent No. 200. A truly magnificent Climber with 
medium-sized flowers of a light apricot color, shading 
yellow at the base, and produced in large clusters.

ing fruity fragrance. $1 each. 
ELEGANCE. LC. (The Brownells, 1937.) Plant 
Patent applied for. The flowers are spectrum-yellow 
in center, shading to very pale yellow on the outer 
petals, deepening in color as they open. Carried on 
stiff stems 1 to 3 feet long, the huge exhibition flowers 
of Hybrid Tea form open slowly, making this one of 
the longest flowering Climbers of which we know. 
The plant is very vigorous and hardy, with excellent 
foliage. Supreme in yellow Climbing Roses, having 
the unbelievable combination of an abundance of 
long-stemmed flowers that are perfect Hybrid Teas.

to keep it under reasonable control. $1 each.

MAKING A ROSE-GARDEN 
The cost of making a new Rose-garden is considerably less than many people believe. A 
Rose-garden usually has some design and a few beds of various shapes where Roses are planted 
in mass, and for this purpose there are many varieties very well adapted. 
A Rose-garden may be large or small, formal or informal. In either case, suitable evergreen 
backgrounds should be used. A few municipalities have planted and maintained good Rose- 
gardens, but many more cities and towns could do the same. 
Roses may also be used in a Rose border, which usually is 5 to 6 feet wide and may be any¬ 
thing up to 40 to 50 feet long. Here again special types of Roses are advisable. 
Roses very often lose their value through being planted in the wrong place. With our 
specialized knowledge of Roses and their uses, we are in a position to give advice not only 
regarding the lay-out of the garden, but also in the selection of the material which should be used. 
We maintain a first-class Planting Department which is at the service of our customers at 
all times, to advise regarding plans and plantings for either large or small gardens. Make use 
of the facilities available.
