DREAM GIRL Pat. 643 
The new everblooming Hardy Climber and Pillar 
Rose. Introduced by Bobbink & Atkins in 1944; 
Martin R. Jacobus, Hybridizer. This variety 
fills a long-felt need for a real coral-pink, full- 
petaled hardy climbing Rose. Another most 
appealing quality is its pleasant spicy and 
penetrating fragrance. When it is used as a cut 
flower in the house, the perfume is even more 
noticeable and lasting than outdoors, and the 

ee: 
ROSA HELENAE PATRICIA 
It has often been stated by Mr. Bobbink that 
here we have a Rose species of rare beauty that 
some day may rival in popularity many of the 
better-known flowering shrubs. The pure white 
blooms are about 2 inches across and open grace- 
fully to show the golden yellow stamens which 
illuminate the clusters of as many as thirty buds. 
It grows to about 6 feet and while not exactly 
self-supporting as, for mstance, Deutzia_ or 
Philadelphus, is easily trained as a pillar or against 
a light trellis. Here in northern New Jersey it is 
very hardy and robust and even in cold parts ot 
Canada it never freezes back hard enough to 
prevent its ability to produce a 6-foot shrub 
clothed in its chaste white and gold every May 
and early June. The glossy foliage gives the final 
finesse and refinement to this gem of the Species 
Roses. The present supply is good but limited; 
in years to come we shall grow many, many more. 
$3.00 each.

true coral-pink and salmon colors become more 
beautiful and intense until the last petal unfurls. 
The blooms last for days after cutting. Beginning 
in June when older climbers like Mary Wallace, 
Dr. W. Van Fleet, and others in this class finish 
blooming, Dream Girl produces successive crops 
of flowers throughout the summer, ending with a 
gorgeous display in late fall. 
Dream Girl is not a rampant-growing climber 
but assumes a neat, compact habit which allows 
for easy training on a 6 to 8-foot trellis or arbor; 
also does well when trained as a “pillar” Rose. 
Without any support and because of its pliable 
and easy-to-train branches, it may be used as a 
trailing Rose. It is ideal to cover fences, stone 
walls, and tree stumps. It may take a year or 
two to get fully established and produce the full- 
size blooms of typical color as illustrated, but 
practically everybody agrees that it is worth- 
while being patient with this grand new Rose. 
$2.00 net; no discount or quantity rate. 
PINK SATIN (Flo ribunda) 
Introduced by Bobbink & Atkins, 1945; ori- 
ginated by Dr. Whitman Cross. Has the color 
and texture of a lovely pink satin dress. Plants 
are strong and easy-growing. The perfect buds 
and blooms are produced in abundance through- 
out the season. Has proved extremely hardy in 
its testing grounds at the New York Botanical 
Gardens. It is considered an excellent bedding 
Rose, always in bloom and therefore classified as 
a large-flowered Floribunda. $1.50 each.

INSPIRATION 
Climber and Pillar Rose 
All propagation rights reserved. Rose-pink. New; 
everblooming and very hardy. Introduced this year 
for the first time by Bobbink & Atkins for Martin 
R. Jacobus, Rose Hybridizer. Many rosarians who 
have seen or tested it refer to the variety as an 
“Everblooming Mary Wallace” because successive 
crops follow each other from June through October 
and show the same sparkling pink tones gleaming 
with silvery pink. Inspiration is an appropriate 
companion Rose for our new Dream Girl, with simi- 
lar growth habit. Itis not too rampant or tall grow- 
ing and so has many uses on trellises, arbors, and 
pillars of medium size and height. $2.00 each 

NEW WORLD (Fi loribunda) 
Dark red. Introduced by Bobbink & Atkins, 
1945. Hybridized by Martin R. Jacobus, using 
the fme old Chateausde Clos Vougeot and the 
newer Crimson Glory as parents; the deep velvety 
red and maroon colorings in both combined to 
give us this valuable new variety. Of equal im- 
portance is the strong pleasing fragrance hitherto 
lacking in most red Floribunda Roses. Everyone 
who saw it in our nurseries the past summer ac- 
claimed it the finest dark velvety maroon Flori- 
bunda in our great collection; especially good in 
midsummer. $1.50 each.
