Joanna Hill Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Invaluable for the garden. The buds are large, long, pointed and open 
to large, full semi-double, attractive, long-lasting, moderately fragrant 
flowers of a clear yellow with orange-yellow heart. They are borne singly 
on long, strong stems; growth vigorous, upright, a profuse bloomer. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Soft pearly white, tinted with just enough lemon in the center to relieve 
the white; remarkably fragrant, beautifully formed flowers on long, 
graceful stems; a strong, free, healthy grower. 
Lowell Thomas (Patent No. 595) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
(Award All-America Rose Selection, 1944.) The vibrant chrome-yellow 
blooms open from beautifully shaped buds. They have high-cupped 
centers with outward rolling petals, making magnificent glowing flowers 
over 4 inches across when fully open. The color is penetrating, clear 
and deep, having a vibrant quality not seen in other Roses of this color. 
It is a strong grower with good foliage and stiff stems. The finest to 
date of the deep yellow Roses. 
Major Shelly (Plant Patent No. 447) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Vivid, vibrant, glowing scarlet. Petals glisten inside with a velvety sheen. 
Appealing, wavy petal formation. Excellent for cutting. Hardy. Vig- 
orous and sturdy bushes. 
McGredy’s Ivory Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Lovely large flowers of beautiful double form and moderately fragrant. 
The color is soft delicate creamy white merging into yellow at the base. 
Vigorous, disease resistant, and a prolific bloomer. 
Mirandy (Plant Patent No. 632) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
(Award All-America Selections, 1945.) The first place winner of the 
All-America Rose Competition for 1945. A gorgeous, fragrant, red Rose 
that takes its place with the finest red Roses of the world. The big, 
oveid buds, often long-pointed, are deep, rich dark red with black shad- 
ings, opening to a gorgeous Chrysanthemum-red. The flower displays 
new beauties of form as the petals unfold and eventually becomes a 
large full bloom (50 petals), with excellent lasting qualities. Mirandy 
has a wonderful, penetrating, domask fragrance which many will say 
is the finest Rose fragrance they have ever inhaled. The plant is strong, 
free branching, with heavy stout stems, and keeps producing its glorious 
flowers freely all season against a background of dark green, heavy- 
textured foliage. 
Mme. Chiang Kai-shek (Plant Pat. No. 664) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
Award All-America Rose Selection, 1943.) This Rose we have named 
“Mme. Chiang Kai-shek,’ in honor of the First Lady of China. Perfectly 
chiseled petals clasped in long, spiral buds unfurl slowly, culminating in 
limpid, light clear canary-yellow flowers of perfect proportions. The rich 
Rose perfume of this premier yellow Rose is a fragrance retrieved from 
the past, recalling the fragrance that hung over China Tea Roses in old 
and forgotten gardens of long, long ago. The perfect form, delightful 
perfume, sheer elegance and vigorous growth, combined with those 
indefinable qualities that breeding alone can convey, truly depict the 
patrician in “Mme. Chiang Kai-shek,” the loveliest of all light yellow 
Roses. We offer fine 2-year-old plants. 
Mme. Cochet-Cochet Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Long, pointed buds of coppery pink, flushed orange, open to 4145-inch 
flowers of splendid form of the same color as the bud, except that the 
orange softens to gold. When open they disclose a mass of golden 
stamens. As the flower ages the color changes to a soft satiny pink, 
with an attractive tinge, but does not lose any of its loveliness and is 
usually clear and fresh at all times. 
Mme. Jules Bouche Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
While not a pure white, it is to all intents white and without question 
the best white everblooming bedding Rose yet introduced. The flowers 
are large, quite double and of splendid form. It is fragrant, a vigorous 
grower and very free flowering. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Slender yellow buds and large, well shaped blooms of bright canary- 
yellow, deepest in center. Blooms very freely. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Medium sized long, pointed bud of a reddish gold opening to a semi- 
double, cupped, very lasting fragrant flower of a deep golden yellow. 
The plant is of strong, vigorous, compact growth. A profuse and con- 
tinuous bloomer.

Peace (U.S. Plant Patent No. 591) Each $2.50 
This Rose is almost unbelievable. One marvel of it is the dawnlike 
range of colors through which it passes, from opening yellow buds, 
with edges picoteed cerise, to the glorious 5-inch, alabaster blooms, 
each petal edged with pink that seems to deepen as the flower slowly 
opens. The shades of color vary, too, from flower to flower and 
through the changing seasons. Though the bloom is unusually large, 
long lasting and constantly fresh looking, its effect is always delicate 
and lovely. The individual petals are large and of great substance, 
gradually opening, a few at a time, around a high-pointed center, to 
a great, golden hearted, very double, fully open flower. The plant .is 
as superior as the bloom, and in the same large-scale way. The 
flowers are borne singly on heavy stems so strong and straight. It 
needs no disbudding to produce exhibition blooms which hold their 
form and freshness longer than other Hybrid Teas. The flowers last 
a long time and they are produced all season in endless succession, 
through various stages of opening and changing colors: canary-yellow, 
pale gold, cream, ivory and alabaster; edged cerise, rose or apple- 
blossom-pink. M. Meilland, the hybridizer, has given the world many 
beautiful Roses, yet of this he says: “This is a rare discovery and 
only takes place once in the career of an originator.”’
