HORACE McFARLAND 
(Plant Patent pending) 
It is fitting that this new Rose bearing the name of the 
venetable Dr. J. Horace McFarland, dean of Rosedom, 
should contribute to a color field not at present suitably 
filled, supplying the long pointed buds and rich coloring 
that mean so much to the modern garden. The flowers 
are produced very freely throughout the entire season, on 
sturdy, healthy, well-balanced plants with large, leath- 
ery, rich dark green foliage. The sentimental associations 
of the name itself will make thousands of his admirers 
want to grow this Rose; the rich orange-pink buds will 
amply reward your efforts. The large flowers have 45 Greer 
petals and age from deep apricot-pink through salmon- Garson 
buff to coral-pink when full open. From Mallerin, the 
famous French hybridizer.

GREER GARSON (55° 
Utterly charming, distinctive in style and form, sweetly fragrant—as 
lovely and unforgettable as its namesake, winner of the Motion Pic- 
ture Academy award for best performance of the year in her portrayal 
of Mrs. Miniver. Just as the charm and talent of Greer Garson carry 
her to higher pinnacles of stardom in the motion picture world, so the 
charm and worth of her Rose are winning higher praise in the world 
of Rosedom. The large pointed buds open slowly with the outer petals 
spreading gracefully and the inner ones unfolding even more slowly. 
Continuous bloomer, profuse in spring and particularly heavy in fall. 
Also unusually fine as a hot-weather Rose. A few plants were released
