ability. Anzac, like the Douglas MacArthur, needs no coddling. Give 
Anzac the ordinary requisites that Roses require and you will be more 
than gratified with the successful results. The vigorous growth of Anzac 
foretells the advent of many shapely buds and beautiful flowers. Buds 
of coral washed with gold unfold into perfectly formed Camellia-like 
flowers. As these flowers expand, the original colors lighten, the golden 
flush at the base of the petals passes to yellow and the coral changes 
to rosy lake.

colors is to be noted in this glorious new Rose. Orange and apricot at

grace of the flower petals of this new variety are outstanding. The out- 
side of the handsome petals is a soft, pale orange-yellow; the inside 
lemon-chrome at the base, changing to pale yellow-orange, penciled very 
lightly with orange-buff. The general color effect is a soft pastel 
capucine-buff. Visitors last year picked Butterscotch as one of the finest 
and most outstanding Roses in our fields. This variety is an origination 
of the Hill Greenhouses of Richmond, Indiana. We are sure you will find 
Butterscotch one of the choicest Roses you ever grew. Please order
