Here is the gleaming gold of pirate’s treasure . . . portrayed in

fragrant. Leathery, dark green foliage, a perfect foil for the warm

warm colors. The growth is comparatively tall, providing many 
long-stemmed blooms for cutting. In addition to its golden charm 
in the garden, Pearl S. Buck is a remarkably fine exhibition Rose be- 
cause of its fine qualities of form, color, fragrance and luxuriant 
growth.

Easy to Grow Successfully 
The Rose is definitely the most popular flower in America. 
Survey after survey has shown this to be true in every instance. 
The reason for such widespread popularity is simply that Roses 
require no more care than any other worthwhile plant . . . yet 
they produce infinitely more beauty and satisfaction. Given a 
favorable location where they enjoy sunlight at least four hours 
a day, rich, well-drained soil and simple care during the summer, 
your own Roses can be every bit as beautiful as those illustrated 
in this catalog. We know this to be true because we have seen 
the splendid results other gardeners like you have enjoyed with 
our plants. Order now, plant them this spring, and see these plant- 
world aristocrats in your 1947 garden. 
ROME GLORY (Plant Patent No. 304) (Below) 
Distinctly one of the “‘notables’’ of rosedom, Rome Glory deserves a 
place of honor in any garden. Particularly generous in many ways, 
it is one of the largest red Roses, and has a strong stem and neck to 
support the stately flowers in regal style. So profuse are the flowers 
and so erect the stems that a bed of Rome Glory here at Newark wag 
described as looking like a “‘military honor guard’’ passing in reviews 
The very deep red bud gradually opens to a velvety scarlet-crimson, 
with the outer petals lazily curving back to make the mature flower 
even larger. The center holds well, and when finally wide open te 
veals warm golden stamens in contrast to the rich red petals. Superb 
fragrance, long stems and extraordinary keeping qualities have made 
this one of the most popular of florists’ Roses . . . one commanding 
fabulous prices because of its grand qualities. 
Flowers. .more glorious, more perfect than any American Beauty. 
Lasting. .long, strong stems. Keeps well. 
Color. ... warm, velvety scarlet-red. Very popular. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75; 12 for $15.00
