Ony Thi; lovely flower is the most alluring, 
shining, rose-pink variety of recent years. 
The long firm buds have a yellow base and 
open slowly to large 45-petaled blooms with 
a luscious, glowing rose-pink color. The petals stay 
upright and hide the center of the flower but the 
edges recurve gracefully to add to the charm of this 
Rose. Plants are notably vigorous in growth and have 
large, leathery foliage. $1.50 ea.; 3 for $3.75.

cured all our Roses from you, as well as our directions for grow- 
ing.” —Miss J. J. C., Kingston, Mass.

%MIRANDY. H.T. (3) (Armstrong, 1945.) Plant 
og Pat. 632. The first-place winner in the 2-year 
CUS, All-America Rose Competition for 1945. The 
illustration shows the superb form and glamorous 
coloring of this great new Rose which does not have to 
struggle for top place; it starts there and is destined 
to be a most popular crimson Hybrid Tea Rose for 
years to come. 
Mirandy has a splendid plant habit, the bush grow- 
ing erect and symmetrical. It is clothed to the base 
with broad, olive-green, heavy-textured foliage. 
The huge, 50-petaled, deep crimson flowers open 
slowly from exquisitely modeled, ovoid buds, often 
long-pointed, and filled with rich, penetrating Dam- 
ask fragrance. In hot, moist atmospheric conditions 
the aging flowers turn to a pleasing, popular Dubonnet 
wine color. 
In our Rose-fields this marvelous Rose blooms con- 
tinuously from early in June throughout the hot sum- 
mer months and was blooming last year when stopped 
by hard frost. $2.50 ea.; 3 for $6.25.

*NARZISSE. H.T. (Krause.) Plant Pat. pending. 
This is the most superb maize-yellow variety that has 
appeared in many years. It is a marvel for size—the 
buds and blooms are immense. They are borne erect 
on extra-stout stems on plants of exceptional vigor, 
with very large, glossy foliage. The buds are apricot- 
yellow and open to splendid blooms of maize-yellow. 
$1.50 ea. 
*PEACHBLOW. H.T. (Coddington.) The beau- 
tifully modeled, sweetly fragrant, 20-petaled blooms 
of peach-pink have a golden base and the petals 
are flushed and veined with rose-pmk. Flowers 
\ come freely on erect, wiry stems on plants that 
are furnished with glossy, leathery foliage. This 
exquisite cut-flower variety is persistent in 
bloom. It has the beautiful Mme. Butterfly as 
one of its parents and comes from the originator 
of the top-ranking President Herbert Hoover 
Rose. It 1s long-lasting on the bush and when 
cut. $1.25 ea.

“T kept records for all Roses planted Jast spring. AII of the 
plants from your firm have good performances, especially 
Good News; four of them averaged 35 blooms per plant for the 
season. Two of those Good News plants actually produced flowers 
15 out of the 18 weeks of blooming season here in Palmerton. 
This must be about ‘tops’ for continuity in Hybrid Teas!” 
—M. F. M., Palmerton, Pa.
