Famous, like the distinguished author and Pulitzer Prize Winner, Pearl S. Buck, 
PEARL S. BUCK - 
OF MODERN 
Air the Modern Roses really better than the older 
/ kinds? Emphatically yes! Every one has bred into 
it every possible improvement in color, fragrance, size, 
shape, hardiness, resistance to disease, habit, foliage, etc. 
They are patented for your protection; you always 
receive genuine, true-to-name plants of first quality. 
There are thrills in growing Modern Roses no com- 
moner varieties can give. They will keep your garden 
a place of beauty and fragrance long after the older 
kinds have lost favor. All are rugged, hardy stock re- 
quiring a minimum of care and cultivation. Of all 
Roses, they are most admired. All are Everblooming. 

(Plant Patent No. 423) 

for whom it was named at the never-to-be-forgotten World’s Fair. Gardeners 
everywhere give it a choice spot in their gardens—it occupied a favored plot 
in the 1940 ‘‘Parade of Modern Roses’’ at the World’s Fair, too, because of 
its exceptional exhibition traits. Exquisitely beautiful—very similar to Sun- 
burst, except the petals are stiffer and of better, more lasting color. Surpassing 
fragrance, hardiness, and firmness of color are the outstanding features dis- 
tinguishing this much-acclaimed Rose with its interesting gradations of tone 
as the flowers open. From the time the pink-edged, deep yellow buds appear 
until the fall when the blossoms deepen to purest gold, the Pearl S. Buck is 
most picturesque—the upright close growth and clean, deep green foliage 
alone is a delight to the eye. No wonder this unusual Rose, developed by the 
eminent Kordes, is universally favored.
