Mme. Chiang Kai-shek 
We offer fine 2-year-old plants at, Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
(Awarded All-America Rose Selection, 1943) (Patented) 
Competent judges awarded, in the 1943 trials, the highest number 
of merits to this superb 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, re- 
calling 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 
indefinable qualities that breeding alone can convey, truly depict the 
patrician in ‘“Mme. Chiang Kai-shek,’’ the loveliest of all light yellow 
Roses. 

Mme. Cochet-Cochet Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Long-pointed buds of coppery pink, flushed orange, open to 414-inch 
flowers of splendid form of the same color as the bud, except that the 
orange softens to gold. When open they disclose a mass of golden 
stamens. As the flower ages the color changes to a soft satiny pink, 
with an attractive tinge, but does not lose any of its loveliness and is 
usually clear and fresh at all times. 
Mme. Henri Guillot (Patent No. 337) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
This Rose is lovely in both form and color; the large, artistic, urn-shaped 
buds open to Camellia-like, 20-petaled blooms about 5 inches across, 
watermelon to raspberry-pink in color. Its popularity is growing from 
year to year, and justly so, because it is an outstanding variety of great 
beauty as well as vigor. A gold medal was awarded this variety at 
Bagatelle, France. 
Mme. Joseph Perraud Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Winner of the Bagatelle Gold Medal, 1934, and awarded the honor at 
Lyons, France, of being ‘‘the most beautiful Rose in France for the year 
1934.” The long, slender and pointed Nasturtium-orange buds open to 
sweetly fragrant flowers of a charming Nasturtium-buff straying to a 
lovely shade of shell-pink at the petal edges—the nearest approach to 
a pure buff, lightened with pink at the petal margins. 
Mme. Jules Bouche Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
While not a pure white, it is to all intents white and+without question 
the best white everblooming bedding Rose yet introduced. The flowers 
are large, quite double and of splendid form. It is fragrant, a vigorous 
grower and very free flowering. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Slender yellow buds and large, well shaped blooms of bright canary- 
yellow, deepest in center. Blooms very freely. 
Mrs. M. H. Horvath Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Habit of growth and color of flower is very much the same as that of 
Joanna Hill. The flowers are somewhat fuller but better lasting. Clear 
yellow with orange-yellow heart. Very profuse bloomer. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Medium sized long, pointed bud of a reddish gold opening to a semi- 
double, cupped, very lasting fragrant flower of a deep golden yellow. 
The plant is of strong, vigorous, compact growth. A profuse and con- 
tinuous bloomer. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Scarlet coppery orange heavily flushed with Lincoln-red on the outside 
of the petals, and these colors together give a rich and almost dazzling 
effect. The tlowers are of large size and beautiful form. They are very 
freely produced and delicately perfumed. The plant has a vigorous and 
exceptionally free habit.

Pearl Harbor (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
The flowers are borne on vigorous canes without thorns, they are 
long, pointed buds, the kind you have to hunt for in other varieties. 
The upper surface of the petals is a delicate shade of shell-pink with 
golden bronze shading at base. The outer or reverse side of the 
petals is vivid Tyrian-rose. The plant is vigorous and healthy, and 
an excellent grower asking no favors. 

Pink Dawn Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A beautiful new Hybrid Tea Rose with glorious deep rose buds opening 
to lovely pink blooms tinted with orange at the base of the petals. 
Sweetly fragrant, fully double, and of vigorous, upright habit.

Poinsettia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
We have no hesitancy in stating that this Rose is the most brilliant red 
Rose ever produced. ‘’Crimson Glory” is admittedly a magnificent piece 
of color, but the color is dull by comparison. The name of this Rose 
is @ descriptive one, and was suggested by Dr. J. Horace McFarland 
of the American Rose Society. It is close to a Poinsettia-scarlet. The 
buds are ideal in form, long and pointed; fairly full petalage, a good 
grower, and fine as a cut flower. This Rose was awarded a Certificate 
of Merit by American Rose Society, 1938. (Color illustration, page 32.) 
President Herbert Hoover Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Large flowers of a very charming combination of cerise-pink, flame, 
scarlet, and yellow, with broad, thick petals; very fragrant. The clean, 
handsome foliage is an added attraction. The brilliancy of the color is 
somewhat dimmed by hot weather, but the cool autumn nights develop 
tones and tints of almost unbelievable richness. 
President Macia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Very long bud, longer than any other Rose. Clear pink with slightly 
darker veining. When open, the face of the petals is pale flesh-pink 
warmed with a yellow flush toward the base. The reverse is the rich 
pine of the buds. Deliciously fragrant and extra fine long stems for 
cutting. 
Radiance Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
An ideal bedding Rose that continues to produce its large flowers 
throughout the most unfavorable hot weather when frequently many 
other varieties fail. A brilliant carmine-pink, with salmon-pink and yel- 
low shadings at base of the petals. 
Red Radiance Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A counterpart of Radiance from which it is a “‘sport,’’ possessing all 
the good traits of that valuable variety but differing in color, which is 
a bright cerise-red.
