Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek 

Done. Chiang Kai-Shek 
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 limpd, light clear canary-yellow flowers 
of perfect proportions. 
The rich Rose perfume of this premier yellow Rose is a fragrance 
retrieved fom 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 indefinable 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
