GRAFTED ROSE PLANTS FOR 1939 
LUCILE HILL 
Joseph H. Hill Company 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 305, Nov. 29, 1938 
Lucile Hill is a pink seedling of 1934, originating with the Joseph H. Hill Company. 
We are disseminating it this year with full confidence that you will profit by growing it. 
We have tested it for four years and for over a year have sent its cut flowers into wait¬ 
ing markets. Lucile Hill is a cross of Sweet Adeline and one of our seedlings. The color 
is a vivid pink without that objectionable blueing which comes to so many pink roses with 
age. The open flower is semi-double and measures in the fall and winter from 6 V 2 to 7 
inches in diameter. It is a most vigorous grower and a real producer, being one of the 
most prolific varieties we have ever grown. We will have a limited supply of plants so 
place your order with us early and insure having this splendid new variety the first year.

R. M. S. QUEEN MARY 
Henry A. Dreer, Inc. 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 249, June 8, 1937 
R. M. S. Queen Mary, introduced last year, paid dividends to its growers. Already 
known for its good winter qualities, it surprised even its most enthusiastic supporters with 
its summer production. Even during the hottest months its size, color, and length of stem 
was of such quality that the flowers brought a premium in times of market gluts. The 
color of R. M. S. Queen Mary is a glorious combination of pure pink and rich glowing 
salmon, warmed by an amber glow arising from the orange base of the petals. See color 
plate facing this page.
