ROSE ELFE 
HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
BLAZE (Pat. 10). Plant is covered with large clusters of 
many two- to three-inch cup-shaped flowers. The scarlet- 
crimson color holds well, even in full sun, and makes a gor- 
geous show for weeks in June. Under favorable conditions it 
often repeats in the fall. Quite hardy. A vigorous climber 
which will grow to considerable height. Each $1.50. 
DOUBLOONS (Pat. 152). Early. A glorious climbing yellow 
rose, noted for hardiness and vigorous healthy growth. Is a 
splendid all-purpose golden yellow variety. The shapely oval 
buds open to large, firm-textured double blooms of saffron- 
yellow with clean, spicy fragrance. Handsome, glossy foliage. 
Vigorous growth. Extremely long, heavy canes. Hach $1.50. 
CITY OF YORK (Pat. Pending). A most attractive climber. 
Sturdy and strong growing with lovely creamy-white buds 
opening to semi-double flowers of pure white set off advanta- 
geously by the golden stamens. Each $1.50. 
CLIMBING MRS. SAM McGREDY. The glorious copper 
orange-red blooms of this popular climber are produced 
throughout the season. A strong grower. Foliage and blooms 
are even better than the bush variety. Long, strong canes. 
Each $1.50. 
RUTH ALEXANDER (Pat. 178). Blooms are orange-copper 
color, topped peach red, semi-double, with perfectly shaped, 
long slender buds. Strong and hardy with glossy foliage. 
Each $1.50. 
CLIMBING HEART’S DESIRE (Patented). Large, fra- 
grant, deep velvety red rose of fine form and texture as is the 
bush type. A robust climber. Exceedingly fragrant. Very free- 
flowering. Each $1.50. 
CL. CECILE BRUNNER. Climbing variety of the ever 
popular Cecile Brunner. For description of blooms see Sweet- 
heart Roses, above. Each $1.10. 
SWEETHEART ROSES 
CECILE BRUNNER (Known also as Mignon and the Sweet- 
heart Rose). If rose gardeners everywhere were asked to name 
their 10 favorite roses, Cecile Brunner would be included—it is 
so universally loved. Its small, exquisite pink buds are perfectly 
formed. We have admired it in low growing borders, in groups 
among the other roses, and in the great masses of pink bloom 
given so bountifully and repeatedly by the climbing form. We 
consider Cecile Brunner among the six best roses. Each $1.25. 
PINKIE (Pat. 712). A new Polyanthus rose entirely different 
from any other. A perfection of form not heretofore known in 
baby roses. Long, slender, dainty little buds open to full pink 
flowers, 2 inches across, on individual stems, long enough for 
cutting, their large, round clusters in cheerful contrast to the 
bright glossy foliage. Blooms nearly continuously from spring to 
fall. Spicy fragrance. Each $2.00. 
ROSE ELFE. The miniature blooms of this strong, hardy 
Floribunda appear as the Hybrid Tea, PICTURE, reduced to less 
than half size. Rose pink pointed buds open to tiny 2-inch, high- 
centered, gardenia-like flowers, extremely double, which offer a 
most attractive garden display all season long. Superbly suitable 
for cutting and table decorations. Vigorous, healthy plants; dark 
green, glossy foliage, disease resistant. A popular boutonniere. 
Each $1.25. 
HARDY FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
BETTY PRIOR (Pat. No. 340). Large branching clusters of 
single blooms resembling red dogwood in shape, size and color. 
Lively red buds open to shell pink. Healthy, vigorous plants 
thrive in all positions in beds, borders, hedges, groups and large 
plantings. Rich amd spicy perfume. Each $1.25. 
MING TOY (PAF). 1947 introduction. The dainty rose-colored 
petals are so precisely placed in Ming Toy that the high centered 
blooms may very easily be compared with those of a miniature 
Camellia in form. The rugged plants abound with health, which 
accounts for the tremendous energy displayed in the constant 
production of flowers. Hach $1.50. 
PINOCCHIO (Pat. 484). Free branching, continuous blooming 
plants with ample dark green foliage grow 20 to 24 inches in 
height and provide clusters of exquisitely lovely, full-petaled fra- 
grant blooms of salmon pink flushed with gold, changing to soft 
pink and acquiring deeper pink edges as the bloom ages. Long 
lasting. Extremely hardy. SOLD OUT. 
RED RIPPLES. Upright, healthy grower to four feet. We 
rate it the best of all the newcomers in the red or crimson color 
range, both as to plant and blooming habit, and the rich, glowing 
beauty of its clear red flowers. Can stand up in hot sun, and 
sheds its finished flowers quickly. Hach $1.10. 
NOCTURNE. Long, pointed buds of bright crimson open to 
large-petaled flowers of deep blood-red. Long stems on vigorous 
bushes. Disease-resistant foliage. Old world fragrance! Each $2.00 
NOCTURNE 
(Pat. No. 713)
