velvety red, which do not fade. True, rich old-time rose fragrance. 
Very tall, vigorous grower. Highest winner “All America Rose 
Selections” 1942. Pat. No. 501. $1.50 each. 
HORACE McFARLAND 
One of the three 1945 “All America Rose” winners, and a splendid rose 
in every respect. The long pointed orange pink buds are extraordin- 
ary for their length and beauty of form. As the big, full, double 
flower opens it becomes a deep apricot-pink with lighter shades of 
salmon and coral-pink. The heavy textured flowers keep a long time 
after cutting. The plant is tall, upright and vigorous, with long 
straight stems and broad leathery foliage. Pat. Pending. $2.00 each. 
MIRANDY 
The first place award winner of “All America Rose Selections” for 
1945. We have had this new introduction in our test gardens for 
several years and can recommend it without reservation. The large, 
long-pointed, ovid buds are a deep rich dark red with black shadings, 
opening to a huge 50 petaled flower. The gorgeous blooms are long 
lasting, have a wonderful fragrance, and are produced continuously 
all season. The plant of Mirandy is a big, husky upright grower. 
Pat. No. 632. $2.00 each. 
MME. CHIANG KAI-SHEK 
This new lovely rose has been named in honor of the First Lady of 
China. Its long-pointed buds of light, canary-yellow open full to 
creamy-yellow, long stemmed flowers over dark green, large and 
leatherly, disease resistant foliage. In our trials, the plant has been 
most vigorous in growth, with a strong upright habit, and a heavy 
producer. Highest award winner in “All America Rose Selections,” 
for 1944. Pat. No. 664. $2.00 each. 
MME. HENRI GUILLOT 
Color is watermelon to raspberry-pink, heavily veined with reddish 
orange, which produces a flame-like glow. Long artistic buds open 
to very large camellia-shaped blooms that are 5 inches across. One 
of the largest and most vigorous growing plants, disease free, and 
always in bloom. Truly a marvelous rose. Pat. No. 337. $1.50 each. 
PEACE 
The “All America” award winner for 1946, and the outstanding new 
rose of the year. The immense flowers are lemon-yellow and edged 
with rose-pink. The plant grows tall and vigorous and the lovely 
buds are borne on strong, erect stems. A “must” for every garden. 
Pat. No. 591. $2.50 each. 
REX ANDERSON 
The creamy white buds are long and pointed, high centered, and are 
freely produced on a large, strong vigorous bush. We admire this 
Mc Gredy rose more each year, and consider it the best of all white 
roses. Pat. No. 335. $1.50 each. 
RUBAIYAT 
This new rose grows large, is luxuriant in growth and foliage, and 
produces an abundance of long pointed buds which slowly open into 
very large blooms of a glorious cerise-red turning to crimson. Deli- 
cious old rose fragrance. Only winner in the All-America Rose Se- 
lections for 1947, this sensational new rose was originated by the 
famous McGredy rose hybridists of Ireland. Pat. Pending. $2.00 each.
