This magnificent Howard & Smith rose is internationally recognized as one of the outstanding new roses. 
First Class Certificate (the highest Award) in 1937 in the elimination trials of the British National Rose Society, 
Hayward’s Heath, England. On Sept. 9, 1938, it received the Gold Medal, at the National Rose Society show in London. 
We regard this rose as one of our greatest achievements in rose breeding, and feel we have given rose lovers 
throughout the world, a variety which will be greatly sought after when better known. The buds are long and pointed, 
expand to a simply enormous bloom in their fully developed state. The color is an exquisite silvery pink, uniform in 
color both in bud and open flower with a fragrance so intense that it can be detected many yards away. 
Our stock of this year is very limited and orders will be filled in rotation as received. Price $1.00 each

The highest award given by the National Rose Society of Great Britain in the Trial Grounds is a First Class Cer¬ 
tificate, an honor which this variety received together with “The Doctor'’ in 1937. The entries were numerous; the 
coveted awards, very few. This speaks volumes for the opinion of others as to the merits of these two introductions. 
Particularly so when we were requested to name this rose in honor of the Past President of the National Rose Society. 
Th is rose was color plated and described in the 1937 British Rose Annual, as follows: 
“A very fine variety. Color, deep scarlet. The blooms are well formed, with a high pointed centre, and very freely 
produced on long stems. The habit of growth is vigorous and upright, the foliage light green, wood green. Delight¬ 
fully fragrant, and very floriferous. The plants in the Trial Ground have been quite free of disease, and made remark¬ 
able growth. Does not mind rain. Awarded a First Class Trial Ground Certificate.” Price $1.50 each

Although there is legion of red roses in commerce ranging from lightest red to blackish crimson with innumer¬ 
able intervening shades, there is none to our knowledge quite the same shade of red as this splendid new sort. 
As nearly as we can describe the color,—lustrous burgundy-wine red fits closely. The bud is of medium length, 
the flower fully double with broad evenly arranged petals, displaying to great advantage its lovely color. In our field 
trials, it w r as outstanding in vigor of growth, freedom of bloom and remarkable in its color effect. Densely foliaged. 
This rose improves with age. In the second year after planting, the stock will double in size and vigor, with con¬ 
sequent added production of blooms. It is free to a degree. Price $1.00 each

We have no hesitancy in stating that this rose is the most brilliant red rose ever produced. “Crimson Glory” is 
admittedly a magnificent piece of color, but the color is dull by comparison. The name of this rose is a descriptive one, 
and was suggested by Dr. J. Horace McFarland of the American Rose Society. It is close to a Poinsettia scarlet. 
The buds are ideal in form, long and pointed; fairly full petalage, a good grower, and fine as a cut flower. This 
rose was awarded a Certificate of Merit by American Rose Society, 1938. Letter from the Secretary: 
‘‘The Trustees of the American Rose Society at their rcent meeting awarded a Certificate of Merit to your rose 
"Poinsettia.” This appears to me to be a real rose which, because of its good growth and brilliant color, is going to go 
places.” Price $1.00 each
