HIS IS OUR 25th YEAR in the rose industry 
and to celebrate our silver anniversary, we 
would like to offer the finest selection of roses 
being grown by us for the Fall 1948-Spring 1949 sea- 
son. All of these roses are grown in the Scappoose 
diking district where the fertile soil is especially 
adapted for nursery stock. This fact, together with 
Oregon’s ideal rose growing weather, has long earned 
for us the reputation of Oregon’s best source of good 
roses. 
Some varieties which we would like to feature in this 
catalog, such as Fred Edmunds, Crimson Glory, Peace 
and Pinocchio, are omitted because of our underpro- 
duction of them. These plants will be available in 
future catalogs. 
WHAT THE Wi;i9 MEANS TO YOU 
The symbol of the A.A.R.S. signifies that the rose 
in question has been chosen by a group of men inter- 
ested in the rose industry as an outstanding rose the 
year of its introduction. When you buy a rose bearing 
this insignia, you are assured that that rose will meet 
all specifications for one worthy of merit in your rose 
garden. 

1949 &¥ AWARD WINNERS 
Illustrated on Front and Back Covers 
Rose Forty-Niner 
(Plant Pat. No. 792) 
apge Award Winner for 1949. The most brilliant bi-color 
INN ever introduced. Outside of the petals is a rich 
chrome yellow, sometimes overlaid with pink, 
changing to straw yellow in the open flower. The inside of 
the petals is a vivid Orient red, changing to cherry red with 
age. The color of the Forty-niner lasts until the last petal 
drops. Buds are long-pointed and well formed, opening 
into well-shaped flowers. The blooms have a mild pleasant 
scent. The plant is very vigorous, tall and upright with flat, 
dark green foliage. 
Price $2.50 each; 3 for $6.30 
Rose Tallyho 
(Plant Pat. Applied for) 
Award Winner for 1949. The color of Tallyho, 
which is entirely new in roses, is quite unusual, 
varying somewhat with the weather and planting 
location. The inside of the petals is a delightful shade of 
Phlox pink and the outside of the petals varies from crimson 
to cardinal red. Although it is a bi-color, the contrast is not 
great. Ovoid buds open to flowers of a spicy fragrance. 
The cut flowers last well. The plant is of robust growth. 
Price $2.50 each; 3 for $6.30
