VERYONE will want this outstanding new ever- 
blooming All-America Hybrid Tea Rose for its own 
loveliness and because it bears the name of the gra- 
cious ‘Mary Margaret.’’ Named for the 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, borrowed 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 mature 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. 
The distinguishing features that made Mary Margaret 
McBride so worthy a 1943 All-America winner will endear it 
to all gardeners, and fulfill their every expectation of inspir- 
ing color, superb form, alluring aroma, stout hardiness and 
ease of cultivation, whether their plantings be large or small.

DEBUTANTES OF ROSEDOM ON PARADE 
ORE exquisite, more glorious than ever—in the spirit of free America! Here in these 
debutantes of Rosedom for 1943 you will find realization of your fondest dreams for 
your Rose garden. Tested in our own gardens and growing fields in this rigorous 
climate, further proved in more than 100 stations from coast to coast, all of these Roses have 
been bred to be superior—in hardiness, resistance to disease, form, fragrance, habit, and 
abundance of bloom. 
The emotions of nations are spurred to bitterness and war, but between Rose hybridizers 
there is a bond of fellowship nothing can shake. And so—personally selected by Eugene S. 
Boerner, rosarian and head of the J. & P. Dept. of Plant Research—we also present the highest 
achievements of leading hybridizers of other lands, each of which has passed every exacting 
test to merit the J. & P. tag—here continuing their expressions of good will, not in the 
language of nations but in the language of Roses.
