Apricot Queen (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Awarded All-America Rose Selection, 1940.) A lovely combination of 
colors is to be noted in this glorious new Rose. Orange and apricot 
at the base of the petals, merging to salmony rose and Phlox-pink 
in the fully developed bloom is descriptive. The bud is long-pointed. 
The fully developed flower shows a regular, well placed petal orrange- 
ment. A good strong grower, with handsome, leathery foliage which 
serves as a splendid foil to the perfectly formed buds and open bloom. 


Anzac (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Has all the qualifications of a winner: vigor, ruggedness and de- 
pendability. When the season for action arrives, Anzac will go over 
the top, and wherever established, will hold its ground with the best 
of Roses in your gorden. Anzac, like the Douglas MacArthur, needs 
no coddling. Give Anzac the ordinary requisites that Roses require: 
water, nourishing food and a clean soil—and you will be more than 
gratified with the successful results. Anzac, ‘The Soldier’s Rose,’’ 
will always do its duty in your garden. The vigorous growth of Anzac 
foretells the advent of many shapely buds and beautiful flowers. Buds 
of fifty waxen petals steeped in coral and washed with gold unfold 
into perfectly formed Camellia-like flowers. As these flowers expand, 
the original colors lighten, the golden flush at the base of the petals 
Passes to yellow and the coral changes to rosy lake. The merging of 
these colors might well be compared with the “‘rose’’ in the sky at 
dawn, just before the sun climbs over the eastern horizon. 

Better Times (Plant Patent No. 23.) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Beautiful long crimson buds open into large, double, brilliant cerise-red

Betty Uprichard Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
One of those delightfully contrastive types; the outside a blend of deep 
toned carmine with coppery orange, the interior being mostly a delicate 
salmon-pink. 
Caledonia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
The most desirable white; exceptionally long, pointed bud opening to a 
very double, high-centered, long-lasting, very large, moderately fragrant 
flower. Continuous free bloomer.

tional novelty as outstanding among the numerous varieties we have

(Awarded All-America Rose Selection, 1940.) A Rose of a most unusual 
color, blood-red in the bud, opening to cerise in hot weather and to spec- 
trum-red in cool weather, while the beautiful shape and extreme length 
of the buds, with its long, clasping sepals and the extreme floriferousness 
and vigor of growth and large, luxuricus foliage, make it a most satis- 
’ factory Rose in all respects. The bud is long and pointed; the flower is 
3 or 4 inches in diameter, high-centered, never showing the center. The 
fo lioge is leathery, semi-glossy, deep green and highly resistant to 
mildew.

formed flowers of an intense deep vivid crimson shaded oxblood-red 
and mellowed by a soft velvety nap.
