RECENT INTRODUCTIONS 
The following are a selection from the finest Rose introductions of the past five years from different sections of the 
country. All of them are recommended to be outstanding in their individual colors. 
Apricot Queen (Patent No. 464)—A combination of orange-apricot 
merging to Salmon-Rose and Phlox-Pink, making this one of the 
most beautiful colored varieties we have ever had the pleasure of 
introducing. Long pointed buds with excellently placed petal ar- 
rangement. An intensified “Mrs. Sam McGredy” in color. Price: 
$1.50 each; $15.00 per dozen. : 
California (Patented)—A gorgeous shade of ruddy orange toned 
saffron yellow, with the exterior of the broad petals overlaid Saturn 
Rose, producing dual tone effect of indescribable richness and 
beauty. Long pointed buds producing flowers reaching a diameter 
of five to six inches. Vigorous growth and healthy, glossy foliage 
add to its attractiveness. Price: $1.50 each; $15.00 per dozen. 
Charlotte Armstrong (Patented)—The originator describes this 
Rose as “a rosarian’s dream of surpassing beauty and boundless 
vigor come true in this leader of the world’s finest Roses.” Blood 
red in bud opening to cerise in hot weather and deepening to spec- 
trum red later in the season. Long-shaped buds, free flowering and 
vigorous in growth. Disease resistant and very free flowering. 
Price: $1.50 each; $15.00 per dozen. 
Countess Vandal (Patent No. 38)—Its long pointed bud, its dis- 
tinctive shadings of coppery-bronze suffused with soft gold and its 
form are a continuous “movie” developing new beauty at all times 
during its long life. Price: $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 
Heart’s Desire (Patented) —This delightful red Rose was given the 
highest award in the “All American Rose Selections” trial for the 
years 1940-41, after two years’ trial. It combines vigorous growth, 
prolific blooming habit and magnificent foliage. The superb red 
bud is delightful when it opens up and until the last petals drop. 
“Heart’s Desire’ has been found remarkably free from disease and 
entirely hardy with average protection, even in the most northern 
latitudes. Fragrance is not the least of its qualities, and the pure 
even shade of luminous red without any trace of maroon is sun- 
proof even in the very hottest weather. Price: $1.50 each; $15.00 
per dozen. 
Madame Henri Gullot (Patent No. 337) (Mallerin) —Unanimously 
acclaimed by Rose growers as “the top Rose in the garden.” Vis- 
itors usually go into ecstasies over the beauty of this Rose whose 
large, firm petals unfold to urn shape then to the form of an 
immense Camelia of shining raspberry, shading to watermelon pink. 
A richly fragrant variety that is delightful for cutting. Price: 
$1.25 each; $12.50 per dozen. 
Mary Margaret McBride (Patent No. 537)—Named in honor of 
the charming and grtcious Mary Margaret McBride, noted author 
and radio personality. In bud it is a lovely deep pink that opens 
gradually to a clear coral pink with sihmmering gold at base of 
petals. Beautiful in all stages of growth. The stems are long, 
strong and vigorous. The flower has a most alluring fragrance and 
was selected as one of the “All America Awards for 1943.” 
Price: $1.50 per plant; $15.00 per dozen. 
McGredy’s Sunset (Patent Rights Reserved)—Very aptly named 
variety as outer petals are clear buttercup yellow tipped orange.

resistant variety. Price: $1.25 each; $12.50 per dozen. 
McGredy’s Triumph (Plant Patent No. 190)—Geranium-red flushed 
orange, gradually deepening to rich orange at base. Reminds one

full and of perfect shape. In addition to the unusual, coloring of 
flowers, the extraordinary freedom and habit of growth is some- 
thing far from the every day Rose. Stems dark mahogany red, 
foliage extra large, dark, reddish bronze in color. Price: $1.25 
each; $12.50 per dozen. 
Orange Nassau (Patented)—Very unusual shade of color, and while 
it does not grow into a large bush, still it blooms profusely and its 
very pronounced Rose fragrance is not the least of its many quali- 
ties. Inner petals coral-red with bright orange-buff reverse, and as

dozen.

yellow flush toward the base; the reverse, the rich pink of the 
buds. The blooms are fragrant and flower all season. Price: $1.50 
each; $15.00 per dozen.
