1947 Festival Queen 
reigned over the first 
Postwar Texas Rose Show, 
which was decorated with 
200,000 cut flowers. 
NEW YORKER. (Pat. 823) 
Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00, doz. $20.00 
A truly red rose that stays red until the petals wither and fall. 
Has a delightful almost raspberry fragrance. The dark color 
is clear and sparkling. The bud is slow opening and of perfect 
form and texture. As the bloom develops the color is scarlet 
with rose-red undertones and a rich velvety sheen. The blooms 
last long even in hottest weather and never take on the bluish 
cast characteristic of most red roses. The young shoots are 
bright red, adding to the beauty and interest of New Yorker in 
your garden. The plant is hardy and disease resistant. 
NOCTURNE. (Pat. 713) 
EACH D150, 3e10Ts 3:15, dOzeot 5.00 
(All-America Rose Selections Award, 1948.) 
The color is dark red with maroon shadings. 
The buds are long and gracefully shaped, 
with a form similar to that of Charlotte Arm- 
strong. This dark red variety is very strong 
growing, bushy, upright and produces many 
flowers. The stems are long, the foliage large 
and luxuriant. The large, richly textured petals have good sub- 
stance, and there are plenty of them. The flowers are pleasantly 
fragrant. This rose has one of the longest, most perfect, stream- 
lined buds of any red rose.
