ITH rugged, sturdy, finest quality plants ready 
for your garden early this spring, here is the Red 
Rose you will enjoy most of all this summer and 
fall, and for years to come. If you compete in the Rose

a Rose for so charming a personality. 
In Gardens on Parade at the 
World's Fair of 1940, this ex- 
quisite new Rose was named in 
honor of the lovely Metropolitan 
Opera and Radio star—and 
Miss Bampton graced the Jack- 
son (7 Perkins Gardens with 
her presence to accept her Roses 
from Charles H. Perkins. 










Floribunda Roses at the Fair—led by such winners as 
Betty Prior, Donald Prior, World’s Fair, Joyous, 
Carillon, A. Grille, and the others on pages 24 to 27. 
ROSE BAMPTON 
Hybrid Tea 
(Plant Patent No. 425) 
Rose Bampton brings to Rosedom a new shade of 
red, outstanding in its distinctiveness. The scintil- 
lating hue retains its depth throughout the long 
life of the blooms, approaching the spectrum red 
on color charts. In early spring occasionally there 
are two-tone variations between the outer and 
inner petals; during the summer the entire flowers 
are intense red and remain so till frost. The charm- 
ing petals reflex slightly as they open and the full 
flower resembles a camellia.
