Forty-NINER—LATEsST ALL-AMERICA WINNER 
Forty-Niner. Patent 792. A Herb Swim creation, and All-America 
winner for 1948. Already rated 91% by the ARS. “An eye-catching combination 
of deep velvety red shading to yellow at center with yellow reverse.” Rated by this 
writer in the summer of 1948, the handsomest rose among Iva Newman’s bevy of 
beauties in San Mateo, California, with a plant habit worthy of the bloom. 2.50 
Fred Edmunds. Patent 731. The French hybridist, Meilland is responsi- 
ble for this striking hybrid tea, a non-fading nasturtium orange, with intense fruit 
fragrance, unexcelled in its color class. At its best in cool, moist climates but well 
worth a place in part shade if yours is a “hot” garden; we have watched it under 
many conditions and our admiration increases each season. Open grower to three 
feet. 1.50 
Golden Harvest. Patent 729. A 35 petalled rose in clear sulphur-yellow, 
noted especially for its profuse and almost constant bloom. George McDonough, 
San Francisco, is its ““god-father” and defender against that “weak neck” slander. 
Says he in the American Rose Annual, 1948—‘One of the greatest of yellows; 
plenty of pep, fragrance and bloom; no signs of disease; weak neck is out.” A 
grand performer in our garden, say we. 1.50
