Mary Margaret McBride (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 ~ 
(Award All-America Rose Selection, 1942.) A tall, healthy growing 
plant which blooms quite freely and has all the qualifications of a fine 
Rose. The attractive, shapely salmon-pink buds open to 5-inch, loose 
flowers of a delightful shade of salmon-pink. They have about 35 
petals. The blooms are mildly fragrant. 
McGredy’s Ivory Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Lovely large flowers of beautiful double form and moderately fragrant. 
The color is soft delicate creamy white merging into yellow at the base. 
Vigorous, disease resistant, and a prolific bloomer. 


Mirandy Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
(Award All-America Selections, 1945.) The first place win- 
ner of the All-America Rose Competition for 1945. A gor- 
geous fragrant red Rose that takes its place with the finest 
red Roses of the world. The big, ovoid buds, often long- 
pointed, are deep, rich, dark red with black shadings, open- 
ing to a gorgeous Chrysanthemum-red. The flower dis- 
plays new beauties of form as the petals unfold and even- 
tually becomes a large full bloom (50 petals), with excel- 
lent lasting qualities. Mirandy has a wonderful, penetrat- 
ing, damask fragrance which many will say is the finest 
Rose fragarnce they have ever inhaled. The plant is strong, 
free branching, with heavy stout stems, and keeps produc- 
ing its glorious flowers freely all season against a back- 
greund of dark green, heavy-textured foliage. 









Mme. Chiang Kai-shek (Patented) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
(Awarded All-America Rose Selection, 1943.) This Rose we have 
named “Mme. Chiana Kai-shek,’’ in honor of the First Lady of China. 
Perfectly chiseled petals clasped in long, spiral buds unfurl slowly, 
culminating in limpid, light clear canary-yellow flowers of perfect 
proportions. The rich Rose perfume of this premier yellow Rose is a 
fragronce retrieved from the past, recalling the fragrance that hung 
over China Tea Roses in old and forgotten gardens of long, long ago. 
The perfect form, delightful perfume, sheer elegance and vigorous 
growth, combined with those indefinable qualities that breeding alone 
can convey, truly depict the patrician in ‘““Mme. Chiang Kai-shek,’ 
the loveliest of all light yellow Roses. We offer fine 2-year-old plants. 


Mme. Cochet-Cochet Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Long, pointed buds of coppery pink, flushed orange, open to 414-inch 
flowers of splendid form of the same color as the bud, except that the 
orange softens to gold. When open they disclose a mass of golden 
stamens. As the flower ages the color changes to a soft satiny pink, 
with an attractive tinge, but does not lose any of its loveliness and is 
usually clear and fresh at all times. 
Mme. Joseph Perraud Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Winner of the Bagatelle Gold Medal, 1934, and awarded the honor at 
Lyons, France, of being ‘‘the most beautiful Rose in France for the year 
1934.” The long, slender and pointed Nasturtium-orange buds open to 
sweetly fragrant flowers of a charming Nasturtium-buff straying to a 
lovely shade of shell-pink at the petal edges—the nearest approach to 
a pure buff, lightened with pink at the petal margins. 
Mme. Jules Bouche Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
While not a pure white, it is to all intents white and without question 
the best white everblooming bedding Rose yet introduced. The flowers 
are large, quite double and of splendid from. It is fragrant, a vigorous 
grower and very free flowering. 
! Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Slender yellow buds and large, well-shaped blooms of bright canary- 
yellow, deepest in center. Blooms very freely. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Medium sized long, pointed bud of a reddish gold opening to a semi- 
double, cupped, very lasting fragrant flower of a deep golden yellow. 
The plant is of strong, vigorous, compact growth. A profuse and con- 
tinuous bloomer. 
Pearl Harbor (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
“The Memory: Rose.’’ Some of the remarkable features of this 
Rose are embodied in a plant of tremendous vigor, possibly 
unequaled by any other Rose in commerce today. It will grow 
and bloom freely under most adverse conditions and there is 
scarcely a period during the season when magnificent buds 
and flowers are not available for garden ornamentation or for 
cutting purposes. The flowers are borne on vigorous canes and 
the bud is exceptionally long and pointed. The upper surface 
of the petals is a delicate shade of shell-pink, with golden 
bronze shadings at the base. The outer, or reverse side of the 
petals, is vivid Tyrian rose. Last, but not least, Pearl Harbor 
is distinct from most other Hybrid Tea Roses in the fact that 
he picnt is practically thornless. Extra fine plants, No. 1 XX 
quality.
