Nome. Chiang Kat-Shek 
“Destiny’s Rose” 
The 1943 All-America competitive Rose Trials have drawn to a close. Competent judges awarded the highest 
number of merits to our new yellow Rose. This Rose we have named ‘“‘Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek’’, in honor of 
the First Lady of China, whose outstanding achievements and lovely character embody humanity’s highest ideals. 
Perfectly chiseled petals clasped in long, spiral buds unfurl slowly, culminating in limpid, light clear canary- 
yellow flowers of perfect proportions, 
The rich rose perfume of this premier yellow Rose is a fragrance retrieved from the past. A haunting scent, 
recalling the fragrance that hung over China Tea Roses in old and forgotten gardens of long, long ago. 
The perfect form, delightful perfume, sheer elegance and vigorous growth, combined with those imdefinable 
qualities that breeding alone can convey, truly depict the patrician in ““Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek’’, the loveliest 
of all light yellow Roses. 
We offer fine 2-year-old plants at $2.00 each, Doz. $20.00
