Supreme HYBRID TEA ROSES > 
We constantly shuffle and re-shuffle our Rose list in an 
effort to give you the most satisfactory kinds. Each one 
is thoroughly tested in our nurseries before being offered. 
If you miss an old favorite in the list, you may be sure 
that the one replacing it is a definite improvement. As 
we cannot offer all of the hundreds of varieties, we try 
to have the best. 
NEW PATENTED KINDS 
Apricot Queen. (Plant Patent No. 464.) Another new All-America variety 
and a real winner. A profusion of medium sized, dainty, clear apricot 
color buds is borne on slender, sturdy stems. Open flowers show a 
lighter shade of their pure apricot color. Beautiful from the time the 
buds start until the petals drop. A bushy grower, always in blossom, 
even in the hottest weather. Fine for cutting. $1.50 each; $3.75 for 3. 
Crimson Glory. (Plant Patent No. 150.) Considered by most people the 
outstanding red Rose. Large, double, deep red flowers borne in huge 
quantities on this free-branching bush. The fragrance is delicious. 
$1.50 each; $3.75 for 3. 
Good News. (Plant Patent No. 426.) One of the finest of the latest de- 
velopments. Deep coppery buds open fully to great, large-petaled 
blossoms with a glowing coppery center, running to shell-pink at the 
outer edge. Rich fragrance. Vigorous healthy plants, always in bloom. 
Attractive deep green, healthy foliage. One of the really better Roses. 
$1.50 each; $3.75 for 3. 
Katherine T. Marshall. (Plant Patent No. 607.) All-America pink Rose for 
1944. Clean, sparkling, warm pink flowers borne on long sturdy fine 
stems. Slow opening coral-pink buds, with a suffusion of yellow, de- 
veloping into generously cupped blooms about 5 inches across. The 
fragrance is marked and fruity, and the plants are hardy and vigorous. 
$1.50 each; $3.75 for 3. 
McGredy’s Sunset. (Plant Patent No. 317.) Just to see the clear golden 
yellow, with scarlet suffusicn, of this beautiful Rose in hot summer 
weather when most yellow Roses are changing to a rather faded white, 
is the highest recommendation. The color combination grows on you 
as the bloom expands. Highly fragrant flowers in clusters of dark 
green foliage. $1.50 each; $3.75 for 3.

CULTURAL HINTS 
Always dig the hole too large. Be sure of good drainage. Plant so! 
that the graft joint is just below the ground. Spread the roots well and 
tamp soil firmly around them. Cut back tops to 4 to 6 inches and cover 
entire plant with moist soil. Remove this covering when plants start to 
show growth (about 10 days). Repeat covering process in late fall for 
winter protection and best results. Prune more than you want to or 
think necessary. 
Mirandy. (Plant Patent No. 632.) All-America Selection. Deep red flowers, 
having the texture and pile of good velvet and a delicious spicy fra- 
grance, borne on long, sturdy stems. The large ovoid buds open to 
fully double, many-petalled flowers that are fine for cutting, lasting 
much longer than average, indoors. The foliage is heavy, leathery, 
durable, and of a lustrous dark green which does not fade. The plant ; 
is upright, vigorous, and free blooming. Altogether, this is the finest 
Rose we have seen. We highly recommend it. $1.50 each; $3.75 for:3. 
Peace. (Plant Patent No. 591.) All-America Selection. As outstanding in 
its color class and Mirandy’s equal in every way, having the same 
lustrous heavy foliage, strong, sturdy, long stems and gorgeous blooms 
that hold their freshness right up to the time the petals drop. The bud 
is a rich, golden yellow with pink-edged petals. As the flowers open, 
the pink seems to deepen, then as they come to their full high-crowned 
glory, the golden color fades first to an attractive ivory, then to an 
alabaster-white and the pink blush spreads and deepens along the 
edge of the individual petals. The plants produce many flowers at 
once and they can be seen 
in all stages. The whole 
effect is of several gorge- 
ously different Roses on one 
plant. $2.00 each; $5.00 
for 3.
