AASRS merits this honor. Its pointed well-shaped buds are a deep, 
XY glowing salmon-pink, opening to full high-centered flowers in 
a clear shrimp- pink color. Richly fragrant, the flowers are medium to 
large in size. Io get top honors in the rose world today, vigor is essen- 
tial, and Mission Bells certainly qualifies in this respect, with a big, 
strong, heavily-branched plant, attractively foliaged, nearly always in 
bloom. Another California rose from the San Fernando Valley. Orig-

Capistrano 
Capistrano is a magnificent pink rose, and when you bring it 
(Go into bloom in your garde ‘n you will soon see why it won an All- 
AAIRS America Award for 1950. The big, long, beautifully formed 
S buds have a rich shade of clear rose-pink without any other 
shadings, and the extremely large, full, open blooms retain the same 
delightful shade throughout the life of the flower. Actually, the color 
is quite different from. Mission Bells above, since this is a clear rose- 
pink and Mission Bells has a much deeper salmon shade. The differ- 
ence in color is not fully shown in the color illustrations. In our test 
plantings, we have found that Capistrano bas one of the most vigorous 
and sturdy rose plants ever produced, with long, extra-heavy, straight 
stems and large, leathery, attractive foliage. Grows more upright than 
Mission Bells, and the flowers are larger. On the other hand, its fra- 
grance, while mild and pleasant, is not as rich as that of Mission Bells. 
Because of its vigor, clear color, and immense size, you will like this 
beautiful, new pink rose. Originated by Theodore Morris. Plant Pat. 
App. for. $2.50 each; 3 or more, $2.10 each.

P A New Color in Floribundas 
Fas ion 
You will get a decided thrill when you first see the buds and flowers of this 
extraordinary new Floribunda, winner of an All-America Award for 1950. 
The color is a remarkable Dutch Vermilion, or in more familiar terms 
intense salmon-orange, quite different from any other color in roses 
and one that everybody likes at first glimpse. The little buds of Fashion are perfect 
in themselves, just right for buttonhole, and they open out into semi-double blooms 
which retain their delightful color. Even though it fades a bit as the flower gets 
older, it’s always a lovely shade. Its clusters of bright colored blooms cover the 
plant in early spring and keep on coming throughout the growing season. We could 
wish for the foliage to be larger and more abundant, but you will forget that in 
your enjoyment of the blooms. Plant medium in height. Originated by Eugene 
soerner. Plant Pat. App. for. 
$2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.70 each; 25 or more, $1.50 each.
