BRING YOUR GARDEN UP-TO-DATE WITH THESE NOVELTIES 
E ^CH brings many new Roses—the creations of great Rose-growers throughout the 
world. Most of these newcomers are rigidly tested in our trial-gardens under the watchful 
observation ot trained Rose-men. We then select and submit those we consider best suited 
for your garden. 
Please remember that some Roses do not attain full perfection the first year after planting. 
In many instances it takes two years for the plant to acclimate itself and to react to your entire 
satisfaction. 
N.B. The descriptions of Patented Roses, other than Bobbink& Atkins introductions, are those furnished 
by the introducer, although we are growing them for ourselves on a royalty basis.

CHARLOTTE ARMSTRONG. HT. (Armstrong Nurseries, 
1941.) Red. To describe this Rose fully would seem an ex¬ 
aggeration. The color is most unusual—warm red in the bud 
opening to cerise in hot weather and spectrum-red in cooler 
weather. Its extremely long and pointed bud opens into a 
long-lasting, moderately fragrant flower 3 or 4 inches in diame¬ 
ter. The plant itself is extremely vigorous, its foliage deep 
green and highly resistant to mildew. A very free and prolific 
bloomer. Pat. pending. $1.50 each.

Rose for mass planting in beds or borders. The flower petals 
are clear mallow-pink shading to Tyrian-rose at the base with 
the reverse or outside a luminous rose-madder that creates an 
effective color balance. 26 petals. $1 each.

petals. $1 each.

each. 
DAYLIGHT. HT. (Dr. W. Cross, 1939.) Peach. Very large,

lovely buds. Center petals are soft satiny pink, the outer ones 
creamy white. They reflex lightly, making a perfect exhibition 
flower—produced on a long stem. Propagation rights reserved. 
60 petals. Awarded Cert, of Merit, A.R.S. 
Plants are strong, healthy, with attractive bronzy foliage, 
and have produced more flowers than we usually expect from

pointed buds opening to large, cupped, rich golden yellow
