Feu Joseph Looymans. Considering 
the size of the plant, it does not attain 
the size of other varieties, one cannot 
help but marvel at the astonishing quan- 
tities of slender, perfect yellow and apri- 
cot buds each bush produces through 
the season. And they are excellent for 
cutting, too. Glistening mildew resistant 
foliage, dense growth. Each, $1.25. 
Fiesta. This rose presents a dazzling 
display of holiday colors, brilliant yel- 
low in flecks and stripes against a back- 
ground of rich vermilion. Commands 
attention in any garden. Modest growth 
but plenty of bloom. Pat. 389. Each, 
$1.50. 
ARS Forty-niner. All American Rose 
Selection for 1949. To quote the 
originator: “Its contrasting colors are 
Startling in their brilliance, and yet they 
blend together beautifully. The inside of 
the petals is a vivid oriental red, while 
the outside is chrome yellow changing 
to straw yellow. It makes a beautiful 
plant in the garden, tall and vigorous. 
The colors are lasting and bright until 
the last petal drops. The long buds open 
to well-shaped blooms of 25 to 40 petals. 
Mildly inaerantaamboate/ O2nsbachy 2.50: 
Frau Karl Druschki. Although this 
rose came out over 30 years ago no finer 
white rose has been produced since. Big 
plump buds and full shapely frosty 
white bloom are borne in abundance 
through spring and fall. Strong stems, 
no fragrance. As this plant is a prodi- 
gious grower it should, if grown with 
other roses, be planted in the back- 
ground. An excellent rose, too, for train- 
ing on fences. Each, $1.00. 

PEACE. One of the most desired of roses. (Pat. 591.) See page 31. 
Fred Edmunds. Seeing this rose in bloom in our nurs- 
ery more people, we believe, have exclaimed over its 
rare beauty than they have over the flowers of any other 
variety. And little wonder! The startling orange buds, per- 
fect in form, open to vivid shades of apricot and orange, 
changing in quite warm weather to softer shades. Though 
the rose is of moderate growth the highly polished leaves 
and red tinted stems are bright, clean and highly disease 
resistant. The fragrance is delightful. Pat. 731. Each, $1.50. 

Girona. If you appreciate full exquisitely formed buds and 
flowers—and plenty of them—long, sturdy stems, delightful 
fragrance, vigorous erect disease resistant plants, you will 
surely want this superb rose. The bold yellow petals are 
streaked with pink and red which vary greatly with the 
season. You'll be surprised at their keeping qualities when 
Cut. Hache plezo: 

We especially wish to call your attention to the two new 
All American Rose Selections for 1949, Forty-niner and 
Tallyho. We think you will find them to be all the originators 
MIDGET. The name just suits it. (Pat. 466.) See page 34. claim for them.
