MARY MARGARET McBRIDE Ze “QS Vesper 
Everyone will want this outstanding new everblooming All- McBride 
America Rose for its own loveliness and because it bears the 
name of the gracious ‘‘Mary Margaret.’’ Named for the noted 
author and radio personality, beloved in millions of homes, 
this Rose is admired particularly for its perfect form. The 
double blooms are large and high-centered. The color is 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 through- 
out the hottest summer weather. Very generous in heavy 
spring bloom and continuing all summer and fall. Luxuriant, 
smooth, leathery, deep green foliage. Exceptionally easy to
