Here we list only the very choicest and most popular varieties of Tea 
Roses, with the majority of which every lover of the Rose is familiar. 
Duplicates as well as inferior varieties have been discontinued. All are 
good growers and free flowering and will provide you with an ample supply 
Anzac (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Has all the qualitications of a winner: vigor, ruggedness 
and dependability. Anzac, like the Douglas MacArthur, 
needs no coddling. Give Anzac the ordinary requisites that 
Roses require and you will be more than gratified with 
the successful results. The vigorous growth of Anzac 
foretells the advent of many shapely buds and beautiful 
flowers. Buds of coral washed with gold unfold into 
perfectly formed Camellia-like flowers. As these flowers 
expand, the original colors lighten, the golden flush at 
the base of the petals passes to yellow and the coral 
changes to rosy lake.

(Awarded All-America Rose Selection, 1940.) A lovely com- 
bination of colors is to be noted in this glorious new Rose. Orange

and. Phlox-pink in the fully developed bloom is descriptive. The

well-placed petal arrangement. A good strong grower, with hand- 
some, leathery foliage which serves as a splendid foil to the per- 
fectly formed buds and open bloom.
