NEWER VARIETIES OF GARDEN ROSES (Con'’t) 
HORACE McFARLAND 
*AARS (Mallerin) 
(Patent Pending) 
This buff-salmon beauty won the distinction of being selected from thousands of Roses being tested to be named in honor of 
Dr. J. Horace McFarland, known to hundreds of thousands of Rose loving folks throughout U. S. A. who for years have been 
reading his keenly written instructive articles in National Garden Magazines. 
From early June until hard frost the sturdy, upright growing, healthy plants, with large, leathery foliage, keep up an almost 
continuous supply of large, deep apricot ovoid buds which open to beautifully formed, buff-salmon blooms, held erect on firm 
stems until they age to a pleasing coral-pink before the petals drop. 
The immense 45-petaled flowers keep coming during July and August after a full pay-load in June; then bloom freely again in 
September and until hard frost. Price: $2.00 per plant, $20.00 per dozen.
