Coles Supreme Rade 
Not too much change in our Rose list for 1949. We have dropped a couple and added a few, but are inclined to ‘stand pat” on the tried and 
proven varieties. 
Cultural Hints. Always dig the hole too large. Be sure of good drainage. Plant so that the graft joint is just below the ground. Spread the roots 
well and tamp soil firmly around them. Cut back tops to 4 to 6 inches and cover entire plant with moist soil. Remove this covering when plants 
start to show growth (about 10 days). Repeat covering process in late fall for winter protection and best results. Prune more than you want to or 
think necessary. Best fertilizers are rotted cow manure and bone meal. Semi-weekly feedings of cow manure water from May 15th to August 15th 
add vigor to flower and foliage. All of the nationally advertised disease and pest remedies seem good. Don't forget to use one for best results. 
Supreme Patented Everblooming Hybrid Tea Roses 
Crimson Glory. (Plant Patent No. 150.) Considered by most people the 
outstanding red Rose. Large, double, deep red flowers borne in huge 
quantities on this free-branching bush. The fragrance is delicious. 
$1.50 each; $3.75 for 3. 
' Geod News. (Plant Patent No. 426.) One of the finest of all Roses. Deep 
coppery buds open fully to great, large-petaled blossoms with a glow- 
ing coppery center, running to shell-pink at the petal margins. Many 
petals; rich fragrance. Vigorous, healthy plants. Always in bloom. 
Attractive deep green, healthy foliage. $1.50 each;. $3.75 for 3. 
Katherine T. Marshall. (Plant Patent No. 607.) All-America pink Rose for 
1944. Slow opening coral-pink buds, with a suffusion of yellow, de- 
veloping into clean, sparkling, warm pink flowers, about 5 inches 
across, borne on long, sturdy stems. The fragrance is marked and 
fruity, and the plants are hardy and vigorous. $1.50 each; $3.75 for 3. 
McGredy’s Sunset. (Plant Patent No. 317.) Just to see the clear golden 
yellow, with scarlet suffusion, of this beautiful Rose in hot summer 
weather when most yellow Roses are changing to a rather faded white, 
is the highest recommendotion. The color combination grows on you 
as the bloom expands. Highly fragrant flowers in clusters of dark 
green foliage. $1.50 each; $3.75 for 3. 
CHOICEST HARDY 
CLIMBING ROSES 
Selected for Their Hardiness and Abundance of Bloom 
Blaze. (Plant Patent No. 10.) The most popular of the red everblooming 
climbers. If you want a profusion of well formed, blazing scarlet flow- 
ers, buy Blaze. You will love the June display and the constant re- 
currence of bloom on the older, sturdier canes throughout the rest of 
the summer and fall. Everblooming qualities increase each year. 
THIS YEAR IT’S BUY BLAZE FOR THE GREATEST SHOW IN ROSE- 
DOM. $1.50 each; $3.75 for 3. 
Climbing American Beauty. One of the old-time favorites and always 
faithful. Large buds and flowers of deep rose-pink. Sweet scented. 
Stems are long and flowers cover the plant from base to top. Excellent 
for cutting. $1.00 each; $2.55 for 3. 
Dr. J. H. Nicolas. (Plant Patent No. 457.) Always in bloom. Huge, very 
double rose-pink flowers on sturdy stems. This unusual new climber 
may, with judicious pruning, be used as large bush or pillar Rose. It 
will take several years to reach its full height, but in the meantime, it 
blooms and blooms. Two-year plants in our nursery have produced 
85 to 40 exhibition flowers per plant. $1.50 each; $3.75 for 3.

Mirandy. (Plant Patent No. 632.) All-America Selection. Large, ovoid 
buds open to fully double, many-petaled, deep red flowers, having the 
texture and pile of good velvet and a delicious spicy fragrance. Long, 
sturdy stems. Fine for cutting, lasting much longer than average 
indoors. Foliage heavy, leathery, durable, and of a lustrous dark 
green which does not fade. Plant is upright, vigorous, and free bloom- 
ing. Altogether, this is the finest red Rose we have seen. We highly 
recommend it. $1.50 each; $3.75 for 3. 
Peace. (Plant Patent No. 591.) All-America Selection. The bud is a rich 
golden yellow with pink markings. As the flowers open, the pink seems 
to deepen, until, as they come to their full high-crowned glory, the 
golden color fades first to an attractive ivory, then to an alabaster-white 
and the pink blush spreads and deepens along the edge of the 
individual petals. The plants produce many flowers at once and they 
can be seen in all stages. The whole effect is of several gorgeously 
different Roses on one plant. $2.00 each; $5.00 for 3.
