“The remcricau Hlagehif~ ROSE 
ILLUSTRATED ON BACK COVER 
Pat. No. 676 $1.50 each 3 for $3.75 
Attractive urn-shaped buds open to high-centered, well-formed, double flowers of 
velvet-textured crimson-red, deeply shaded with rich oxblood tones. Holds color in sun; 
does not blue. Vigorous grower and free bloomer, with black-spot-resistant foliage. 
This is a cross of Crimson Glory and has inherited many of its parent’s fine char- 
acteristics. It was runner-up to Rubaiyat in the AARS. trials for this year. 
It is proposed to reproduce a picture of this new Rose on the fuselage of each ship 
of the American Air Lines and to christen it properly in many of the large city airports. 
All down through the ages, the Rose has carried the spirit of romance and adventure. 
It permeates the pages of history and fiction and has inspired the world of poetry and 
music. The Rose is truly the Queen of Flowers and the symbol of the good things of life. 
It is eminently fitting in this modern age, so well foreshadowed and typified by the air- 
plane, that the picture of the Rose should be carried into the skies, and up there as on 
earth, carry the spirit of greater and finer things to come. 
The American Flagship Rose is well worth the honor bestowed upon it and wil! be 
remembered for many a day.
