Paul J. Howard’s 
BUSH ROSES for 1949 
Paul J. Howard's Roses are noted for their extreme vigor and robust growth. 
Carefully selected budwood is grown on special root stocks, which impart extra 
strength to the tops. We select two-year-old bushes which have made greatest 
development, so they will readily become established in the rose garden, and bloom 
a few weeks after planting. 

MAIL ORDERS 
DORMANT or BARE-ROOT ROSES are available from January until March 15. They 
are shipped by express up to March 15 only. If wanted by mail, please add 10% for 
mailing. (Minimum postage 25c.) Orders for mail or delivery will be reserved and filled 
in rotation, beginning January 1. Please send in orders as early as possible, and indicate 
second choice, so that we may substitute if necessary, if any varieties should be sold out. 
ESTABLISHED ROSES for planting throughout the year, and when dormant Roses 
are not available (April to December) these superior large bushes are planted in espe- 
cially prepared soil, in 5-gallon tins. They may be selected and planted out, in full bloom.

SLEIGH BELLS 
A Paul J. Howard Introduction for 1949 
OLIVE PERCIVAL 
A Gay New Rose 
(Patent Applied For) 
See Back Cover 
Ring out the old. Ring in the new. Sleigh 
Bells is as refreshing as a crisp spring morn- 
ing. It really makes you think of Sleigh 
Bells, because it sets the joy in your heart 
atingle when you see it. It is as white as 
snow, with a cool enlivening trace of prim- 
rose at the base of petals when fully 
opened. At certain seasons the petals are 
flushed with pink, like dawn on the snow. 
It has a subtle impelling fragrance, excel- 
lent keeping qualities, long straight stems, 
healthy glossy, emerald green foliage. It 
produces an abundance of exquisitely chisled 
long buds, followed by large perfect blooms. 
The tall, rugged bushes, in bloom almost 
continuously, make a grand garden display, 
and provide a wealth of buds for cutting. 
Sleigh Bells outranked all other roses in 
growth and bloom, in a field of over a mil- 
lion roses. Sleigh Bells is the new wide 
awake white rose. .

Rose lovers will delight in the exquisite 
long slender buds of our new Olive Percival 
Rose, somewhat reminiscent of the lovely 
old variety, Lulu. They are intense cherry 
red, of luminous quality, flushed gold on 
outer petals and at the base of inner petals. 
They open slowly, retaining their color as 
they develop. Lovely in all stages, the half- 
open flowers have broad, thick petals and 
gradually open to semi-double blooms of 
great charm and grace. 
The bushes are strong, upright growers, 
with leathery deep green foliage. They 
flower so freely, each bloom borne singly on 
long stems, that you can keep your bud 
vases almost continuously filled with these 
gay, fragrant roses.
