| my / WE HAVE GOOD ROSES 
y CS; but not enough of certain varieties for 
e Spring 1947 
| While Bobbink & Atkins have always been one of America’s 
3 foremost Rose-growers, the fact is that for Spring 1947, 
shortages have developed. During late November 1946 we 
harvested a very good crop so far as quality is concerned, but 
there is no way of telling in advance just how long the supply 
of certain varieties will last. We therefore request your per- 
mission to substitute intelligently with varieties of the same 
class, similar color, labeled true to name, and of equal or 
greater value where certain kinds become sold out as the 
season advances. We believe this same situation exists with 
all nurseries specializing in Roses and is due to the fact that 
enough experienced labor, such as Rose production requires, 
has not been available during the war period.

DAINTY BESS. (Archer, 1925.) Pink. This 
already old favorite owes its popularity to its

maroon-colored center, are notched and fluted. 
This variety has an individuality all its own 
that makes it outstanding wherever planted.

Similar in growth and habit to the Hybrid Teas, the Singles contribute a light and airy grace to the 
Rose-bed, while their elegant buds are ideal for boutonnieres. As subjects for cut-flower arrangements, 
they are unbeatable when cut in the bud and allowed to open mndoors.
