Nocturne (U.S. Plant Patent No. 713) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
All-America Selection for 1946. This new red Rose has one of 
the longest, most perfect, streamlined. buds displayed by any 
Rose in its color. The color is bright cardinal-red with dark, 
deep intriguing shadings of Chrysanthemum-crimson. The large 
petals have good substance, are richly textured, and there are 
plenty of them so that the fower lasts a long time. In hot 
weather the color becomes somewhat lighter. The blooms of 
NOCTURNE are pleasantly fragrant, although not approach- 
ing Mirandy in this respect. The stems are long, the foliage 
large, abundant, and semi-glossy. The plant displays plenty of 
vigor and quickly grows into a big sturdy bush in the garden. 
Reports from the official All-America test gardens throughout 
the country were uniformly good, and other test plantings have 
aroused much enthusiasm. 
Pearl Harbor (Plant Patent No. 637) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
“The Memory Rose.’ Some of the remarkable features of this 
Rose are embecdied in a plant of tremendous vigor, possibly 
unequaled by any other Rose in commerce today It will grow 
and bloom freely under most adverse conditions and there is 
scarcely a period during the season when magnificent buds and 
tlowers cre not avaiable for garden ornamentation or for cutting pur- 
poses. The flowers are borne on vigorous canes and the bud is excep- 
tionally long and pointed. The upper surface of the petals is a delicate 
shade of shell-pink, with golden bronze shadings at the base. The 
outer, or reverse side of the petals, is vivid Tyrian rose. Last, but not 
least, Pear! Harbor is distinct from most other Hybrid Tea Roses in the 
fact that the plant is practically thornless. 
Pink Dawn Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A beautiful new Hybrid Tea Rose with glorious deep rose buds opening 
to lovely pink blooms tinted with orange at the base of the petals. 
Sweetly fragrant, truly double, and of vigorous, upright habit. 
Poinsettia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
We have no hesitancy in stating that this Rose is the most brilliant red 
Rose ever produced. ‘’Crimson Glory’’ is admittedly a magnificent piece 
of color, but the color is dull by comparison. The name of this Rose is a 
descriptive one, and was suggested by Dr. J. Horace McFarland of the 
American Rose Society. It is close to a Poinsettia-scarlet. The buds are 
ideal in form, long and pointed; fairly full petalage, a good grower, and 
fine as a cut flower. This Rose was awarded a Certificate of Merit by 
American Rose Society, 1938.

San Fernando (U.S. Plant Patent No. 785) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
The introduction of this grand Rose is an important milestone in the production 
of better rec “oses. Competent judges who have seen the elegant red Rose in 
bloom, rank 1. high among the best of its color. The bright vermilion buds are 
long and pointed, opening into fully double flowers of vermilion-scarlet. In addi- 
tion to the elegant form and brilliant color, SAN FERNANDO has another out- 
standing quality—intense and lasting fragrance. The vigorous growth, fine foli- 
age, brilliant color and pointed form are sufficient qualities to recommend any 
Rose, but when you add the spicy o!d rose fragrance to these qualities, it can be 
} truthfully said that San Fernando, the new red Rose, will be among the leading 
varieties for a long time to come. 
Santa Anita (Plant Patent No. 539) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50

unfold into beautifully shaped flowers of pure peach-blossom-pink. No matter

“sunfast.’’ Santa Anita is the first Rose to bloom and it flowers bountifully from 
beginning to the end of the season. The plants are rugged and not too tall. A 
lovely pink variety which, because of its merits, belongs among the best of the 
pink Roses. 
Shangri-la (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
The long, pointed buds of Shangri-la are perfect, and upon opening show a rare 
combination of tints and shades; blush, salmon and rose delicately blended yet 
clear and srarkling like dawn itself. The bushes are vigorous with ample dark 
rich green foliage as well as fine stems for cutting. It is our firm belief that the 
color and freshness of Shangri-la will brighten your Rose horizon for many a year.
