1947: Queen of the Rose Shows! 
Peace won 30 highest honors in 
various Rose shows in this country last year that we have 
heard of. In England, it recetved the Royal Horticultural 
Society award. 
The chief importance of this impressive list, to flower 
lovers, is that Peace consistently gives blooms of prize-

your own delight and to show your visitors, as well as for 
exhibition.

The Duke of Windsor expressed 
it when he said of Peace, “Really, 
I have never seen such a marvelous 
Rose in my life.”” There has never 
been another Rose anything like it. 
Peace can best be appreciated and 
enjoyed where you can watch its 
buds unfold—see with your own 
eyes how its color changes as it 
slowly, slowly unfolds. Its tints of 
yellow, pale gold, cream and ivory 
show a varying blush of pink on the 
petal edges, the clear colors blended 
to rare beauty. Peace plants are as 
outstanding as the blooms; long, 
straight, magnificently strong stems 
with handsome, rich green foliage. 
Peace is a Rose to plant in quantity. 
A bed of them ts a sight never to be 
forgotten. (See front cover.) $2 ea.; 
3 for $5.
