You Can Plant This Fall 
HOUSANDS of our friends make this page a hobby as they plan their fall 
planting activities, and plant next year’s Roses a year ahead. They take 
pride in being first to have the 1943 introductions in their own gardens early 
next June—well-grown, established, already in full bloom. 
Here are the leaders in the Parade of Modern Roses for 1943—highly praised 
by the thousands who saw their preview in the 1942 Festival of Roses, favorably 

reported by our 120 testing stations throughout the nation. 
Two have been 
selected by the All-America Judges as best of the Hybrid Tea introductions. Have 
them to enjoy from early June on through summer and fall, by ordering now. 
Selected plants, full-bodied, 2-year-old, field-grown, to plant this fall. 
MARY MARGARET McBRIDE (2 2: 
Named for the gracious Mary Margaret McBride, noted author 
and radio personality, beloved in millions of homes from coast 
to coast. This new Rose is admired particularly for its perfect 
form . . . a new triumph in floral grace. The double blooms 
are large and high-centered. The pointed buds open gradually, 
always keeping their beautiful high center. The color, bor- 
rowed from the radiant glow of a summer sunset, is a clear, 
deep coral-pink suffused with shimmering gold at base of petals. 
As the flowers age, the pink gradually lightens to that of 
Eternal Youth. Blooming in queenly dignity, Mary Margaret 
McBride will remain in never-fading glory throughout the 
hottest summer weather. Very generous in heavy spring bloom 
and continuing all summer and fall. Luxuriant, smooth, 
leathery, deep green foliage. In color at left.

Molten gold forged into appealing, artistic 
grace. Sunshine compressed into floral elegance. 
This is the new J. & P. Rose achievement from 
Mallerin that has received the colorful, ro- 
mantic name of Mandalay. The long, pointed 
bud unfolds into a very large, high-centered 
bloom of clear, pure gold which remains 
gallantly Melamed throughout the life of the 
flowers. The 40 petals are long and firm and 
of a very smooth texture. The ample foliage 
is heavy and very dark green. Here's a flower 
with unmistakable exhibition traits and ideal 
in the garden. A hardy, prolific grower that 
will reign in eye-filling splendor all summer 
long. Always in bloom, always outstanding.

Sonata—beautiful as a symphonic melody. A 
flamboyant red in spring and fall; in summer 
lightening to unusual tones of deep pink. In 
lovely contrast, the outside of the petals is 
several shades darker than inside. The large 
flowers are petfectly shaped, opening gradually 
and artistically from long, pointed buds of 
intense cochineal-red. The foliage is abundant 
and of a very dark green contrasting beautifully 
with the flowers. Growing proudly erect on 
long, strong stems, Sonata blooms fragrantly 
from spring to fall. In color at left.

open to firm-petaled blooms which gradually 
change to a lovely begonia-rose. When unfold- 
ing, the 25 or more petals recurve and make 
artistically informal blooms with a hint of 
carnation fragrance. In color at left.
