Dedicated to World Amity 
In this first year of peace when weighty 
problems of international adjustment are 
taxing the capacity of world statesmen to 
exhibit foresight, vision and good will, some 
of the homely lessons we average citizens 
learned during the heat of conflict should 
not be forgotten 
For one thing, neighborliness and friendly 
cooperation have been the order of the day. 
Americans discovered that by pulling to- 
gether the people of this nation generate 
an irresistible force for good against which 
no combination of evil power can long 
stand. When we became better acquainted 
with our neighbors we really found our- 
selves. 
In this period, significantly, home gar- 
dening reached new heights of popularity. 
Over the back fence, talking about the 
ways to make flowers and vegetables grow 
better, we made firm friends with people 
we had "lived near’ but not really known. 
We tasted the satisfaction that is peculiar 
only to the grower who sees his work come 
to successful fruition at harvest time, and 
we found needed relaxation from arduous 
war duties, outdoors in our gardens. 


Of such stuff is good will, trust and peace 
of mind fashioned. Without these no peace 
can long endure. Although as individuals 
we can do little to shape the peace and 
maintain it, as a great body of friends and 
neighbors now aware of the great power 
we possess for united action, we can guide 
and influence the form of things to come. 
Let us hold firmly to each other, and to all 
the constructive habits that united us. 
Out of war-torn France has come a beau- 
tiful new rose, perhaps the f'nest introduc- 
tion of the past decade. It has been named 
"PEACE in the’ sober hope that it shall 
symbolize through the years all the objec- 
tives we must realize now that the guns 
are stilled. Few will care to give up the 
wholesome enjoyment they found in their 
gardens. There, in an honored place, the 
beautiful “PEACE” rose will stand as an 
ever-present living reminder of the high 
purposes for which we fought.

PEACE. R52. (Mme. A. Meilland.) Plant Patent No. 
591. Offered this fall for the first time, this is the 
only rose to win the 1946 All-America Rose Selec- 
tions Award. One marvel of this rose is the range 
of colors through which it passes, from opening _ 
yellow buds, with edges picoted cerise, to glorious 
five-inch blooms of alabaster-white. Each petal 
is edged with pink that seems to deepen as the 
flowers slowly open. Though the bloom is un 
usually large, its effect is that of a delicate and 
almost ethereal loveliness. The large individual 
petals gradually open, a few at a time, around 
a high-pointed center heart of tawny yellow. 
The vigorous plant is as superior as the bloom, 
with clean, holly-like glossy foliage. Flowers 
borne singly on strong straight stems, are un- 
usually long lasting. For best results, the partially- 
opened buds should be cut when pink begins to 
show in the margin of the petals. Blooms are pro- 
duced in succession throughout the season. A 
single plant shows, at one time, blooms in various 
stages of opening and changing colors—canary 
yellow, pale gold, cream, ivory and alabaster- 
white; cerise, soft rose, apple-blossom pink and 
finally, a soft pink-lavender. 
The pink suffusion in ‘Peace’ is accentuated in 
warm weather and in warm climates, but not so 
pronounced in cooler areas. The rose is beautiful 
everywhere. We can recommend “Peace” for all 
rose-growing sections without reservation. $2.50. 
each, 3 for $6.25 (maximum order).
