Sierra Glow. Patent 521. The public, of course, will make the final and all- 
important decision, but every hybridizer is entitled to his favorites, and this one 
rates high with its originator, W. E. Lammerts. Growth is low to two feet, spread- 
ing. Bud is urn-shaped, light pink, opening to a large, double flower, described, 
“salmon-orange heart, with silver-pink on outer half of petals, reverse deep rose.” 
Rich fragrance. 
Here’s some real 1948 enthusiasm from Jacob H. Lowrey, former President 
Georgia Rose Society, Augusta—"Within the limits of my rose experience, I 
regard Sierra Glow as not only finest of its color but the most beautiful modern 
hybrid tea produced by an American hybridizer. And it blooms on a healthy, 
spreading, five-foot plant.” 1.50 
Snowbird. When the ‘Proof of the Pudding” of the A.R.S. rates a rose 86%, 
this writer is willing to throw up his hat and join in the shouting, even though he 
likes his white roses “big and handsome.” Handsome enough it is; and a rather 
belligerent Snowbird admirer once thrust some pretty big blooms under my dodging 
nose, forcing a hasty admission that Snowbird is not “puny.” Big or not so big, 
Snowbird is a splendid, bushy plant, uncomplaining in any weather or location, and 
gives bountifully, well formed, double white blooms—mighty good smelling, too. 
We hesitate to mention again, the old feud in the Pacific Rose Society between 
Pedralbes and Snowbird, as to which is the better white rose, fearing to offend the 
“girl with the Pedralbes complex,” but much as we respect this lady’s judgment, we 
cannot seem to find Pedralbes listed in this catalogue. But Snowbird is! 1.25
