HARDY BUSH ROSES 
OUR NORTHWEST GROWN ROSES are the best you can buy because they 
are grown on multiflora understoek for strength, hardiness and satisfaction. 
FRED EDMUNDS—All-America regional award, 1944. An 
outstanding rose in its color class. The beautifully shaped orange 
colored buds open to a beautiful bloom of apricot-orange shade. 
The plant is exceedingly strong growing, with good, clean foli- 
age. You'll appreciate this unusual color in your rose garden, and 
thoroughly enjoy this very fragrant rose. Each, $1.50. 
RUBATIYAT (Pat. applied for). All-America Selection 1947. Early 
next June this magnificent hybrid tea rose will burst into exotic 
beauty with a profusion of long graceful buds. As these open, the 
delicate crimson-pink on the outside of the sculptured petals 
shades into a deep, rich crimson in the very heart of the blooms. 
RUBAIYAT’S elusive, old-rose fragrance is deliciously heady. 
Plants are vigorous; grow tall. In the opinion of the 16 Official 
Judges at the All-America Rose Selections trials from coast to 
coast, the unchallenged winner for 1947 was RUBAIYAT. Its 
outstanding color, perfect form and profusion of bloom brought 
RUBAIYAT top honors. Each $2.00. (See picture on front cover.) 
HEART?’S DESIRE (Pat. 501)—A.A.R.S. Luminous long-pointed 
buds of bright red open to large fiowers of deep velvety red with 
broad heavy petals. When fully out the exquisite double flowers 
retain their rich color until the petals fall. Rich, truly old-time 
rose fragrance. Long stems. Bushes are vigorous with hand- 
some dark green leathery foliage. Very disease resistant. Keeps 
well when cut. Each, $1.50.

one of the All-America roses for 1944. The large perfectly formed
