HARDY GARDEN ROSES 
Newer Varieties 
Price: $1.50 per plant. $15.00 per dozen, except where noted 
Anzae (Patented)—Coral and gold waxen petals unfold into 
perfectly formed camellia-like flowers. As these flowers expand, 
the original colors lighten, the golden flush at the base of the 
petal passes to yellow and the coral-pink changes to a rose 
shade. A very large flower on a particularly rugged bush. 
Apricot Queen (Patent No. 464)—A combination of orange- 
apricot merging to Salmon-Rose and Phlox-Pink, making this 
one of the most beautiful colored varieties we have ever had 
the pleasure of introducing. Long pointed buds with excellently 
placed petal arrangement. An intensified “Mrs. Sam Mc- 
Gredy” in color. 
California (Patented)—A gorgeous shade of ruddy orange 
toned saffron yellow, with the exterior of the broad petals 
overlaid Saturn Rose, producing dual tone effect of indescrib- 
able richness and beauty. Long pointed buds producing flowers 
reaching a diameter of five to six inches. Vigorous growth and 
healthy, glossy foliage add to its attractiveness. 
Commando—A Howard & Smith introduction of 1942. The buds 
are large, long pointed with very large, double flowers with 
from 30 to 35 petals. Extremely long lasting. The color is 
orange-buff suffused pink on long, straight stems. The dark 
green, leathery foliage is always in very healthy condition. It 
is a nice vigorous variety, growth is very profuse, in bloom all 
season. 
Countess Vandal (Patent No. 38)—Its long pointed bud, its 
distinctive shadings of coppery-bronze suffused with soft gold 
and its form are a continuous “movie” developing new beauty 
at all times during its long life. 
Crimson Glory (Patented)—A deep vivid crimson shaded ox- 
blood red and finished with a soft velvety nap. Its habit of 
growth is very vigorous, producing at all times quantities of 
superb urn-shaped blooms. 
Douglas MaeArthur—A beautifully proportioned Rose of 
rose gold and salmon blended together on strong bushes which 
send forth many shoots of shiny dark green foliage. Like the 
great leader for whom it is named it commands the admiration 
of all who see and grow it. 
Eelipse (Patented)—The long streamlined bud is of rich gold 
without shading. Petals are long and tough, but not numerous, 
averaging 20 to 25, with more in the Autumn. Healthy, attrac- 
tive foliage. 
Heart’s Desire (Patented)—This delightful red Rose com- 
bines vigorous growth, prolific blooming habit and magnificent 
foliage. The superb red bud is delightful when it opens up 
and until the last petals drop. “Heart’s Desire” has been found 
remarkably free from disease and entirely hardy with average 
protection, even in the most northern latitudes. Fragrance is 
not the least of its qualities, and the pure even shade of lumi- 
nous red without any trace of maroon is sunproof even in the 
very hottest weather. 
Katherine T. Marshall (*AARS) (Patent 607)—The 
winner of the All America pink Rose for 1944, named in honor 
of the wife of America’s great General Marshall. The originator 
of this variety describes it as a Rose of great beauty and deli- 
cacy of form—growing vigorously with large, open upright 
blooms of friendly warm glowing pink. Highly praised in all 
sections of the country. Very hardy. The growth and foliage is 

Douglas MacArthur 
equal to the Radiance family and outstrips the old favorite 
President Hooyer. Fruity fragrance and long stems. Long 
pointed, firm slow opening buds of coral-pink with suffusion 
of yellow which retains its fine color at all seasons of the 
year. Price: $2.00 per plant, $20.00 per dozen. 
Lowell Thomas (* AARS) (Mallerin Plant Pat. 595)—The 
vibrant lemon-chrome color, vigorous growth and general air 
of optimism about this glorious Rose make it suitable to bear 
the name “Lowell Thomas.” The large blooms open from 
beautiful buds and have a high cupped center, with the petals 
rolling outward, making magnificent, glowing flowers, over 4 
inches across when fully open. They have a slight tea fragrance. 
The plants are sturdily upright in growth and the rich yellow 
blooms, on strong, erect stems, have a perfect foil in the large, 
lustrous green foliage. Price: $2.00 per plant, $20.00 
per dozen. 
MeGredy’s Sunset (Patent Rights Reserved )—Very aptly 
named variety as outer petals are clear buttercup yellow tipped 
orange. Inside is chrome yellow flushed scarlet when it opens. 
Medium size flowers with a very pleasing fragrance. Long stiff 
stems and a sun resistant variety.

tic grace. Long pointed buds unfold to large, high centered 
blooms of pure gold and the flowers retain this lovely color at 
all stages. Very free flowering and a delicate fragrance. Heavy, 
deep green foliage. Entirely disease resistant. Awarded Gold 
Medal of Horticultural Society on the Rhone, 1941. Priee:
