Contrast—An unusually healthy grower producing growth three 
feet tall and has most attractive two tone blooms comparing 
favorably with Condesa de Sastago. Had very fine reviews in 
the American Rose Annual recently. 
Copper Lustre (Patent 641)—Our exclusive introduction. Its 
blooming habit is free and perpetual and the large dark green 
leaves are most distinctive with their veins and edging of deep 
red. The stem is strong and upright, oil green in color with 
large red thorns. This is an extremely disease resistant variety. 
Flowers in bud form are long and pointed, and about 2 inches 
in length. The color is a coppery pink between geranium pink 
and peach red with a large aigret of apricot yellow. The blooms 
are large, measuring about 5 inches in diameter. When first 
opening the outer surface of the petals vary between peach red 
and jasper red, blending into a yellow hase. When the flower is 
fully opened and for a day or two after, is much more delicate. 
The entire flower appearing to be jasper pink, blending into 
apricot yellow. (Fall 1948 delivery only.) Price: 
2 year old dormant plants, $2.50 per plant: 
825.00 per dozen. 
Debonair (Patent 677)—Perfect yellow buds against one of the 
most handsomely foliaged of Roses in the hardy garden type. 
The high centered opening flowers of substantial primrose yel- 
low are very graceful and has a delightful old-fashioned 
fragrance. Illustrated on page 23. 
Diamond Jubilee (A.A.R.S8.)—Color-glowing buff orange 
and when fully opened the flowers are easily 6 inches across. 
A variety that lasts very well either on a bush or as a cut 
flower. A nice old Rose fragrance is not the least of its many 
charming qualities. Foliage is a dark green and the constant 
succession of flowers are produced on long heavy stems. 
Mirandy (Patent 632)—One of the All America Rose selec- 
tions for 1945 and one that has earned all the praise that has 
been given it throughout the country. Deep rich red buds of un- 
usually brilliant color, the plant is: very vigorous growing and 
free flowering with very lasting fragrance.
