Grow These Better Roses 
Girona 
You will derive a lot of pleasure from growing this multicolored Spanish 
beauty because of its great vigor, the extremely handsome buds and flowers, 
and the fine fragrance. The large yet graceful buds open to magnificent, full, 
double flowers in beautifully varying tones of pink, yellow, and carmine. They 
have a lot of substance and keep exceptionally well when cut. 
$1.00 each; 3 or more, 85c each. 
Golden Rapture 
The sheer perfection of form and the brillancy of color make this rose one 
of the very best in its color class. Morning after morning you can cut some 
of the most lovely long-pointed buds of bright yellow that you have ever seen 
before—rich shining yellow. ‘The shiny-foliaged plant grows to medium height 
and produces quantities of perfectly formed buds and flowers with a mild 
old-rose fragrance. $1.00 each; 3 or more, 85c each.

Grande Duchesse Charlotte 
The interesting buds are a rich claret color (you may call it brick-red) 
which changes as the flower ages to a lovely Begonia Rose. The flow- 
ers are not always perfect in form, but they are always beautiful be- 
cause of that rich color, never before seen in a rose. This rose will 
completely win you when you see the big, strong, free-branching plant, the 
unusual color of its flowers, and sniff that rich fruity fragrance. Plant Pat. 
No. 774. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each.

Heart’s Desire 
This 1942 All-America Winner has long-pointed buds of bright lum- 
inous red without other shadings. The flowers are always borne on 
long stems, and keep longer than most other kinds after they are cut. 
But the most outstanding feature of the rose is its superb fra- 
grance. A few blooms will perfume an entire room. Occasionally there is a 
weak neck or a globular flower, but few can resist the clarity of color and 
the wealth of fragrance. Plant Pat. No. 501. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 

Horace McFarland 
One of the three 1945 All-America Rose Winners, and a good “solid” 
rose in every respect. The long-pointed, orange-pink buds are extra- 
ordinary for their length and beauty of form. In the bud the color is 
more orange than pink, and as the big fully double flower opens 
it becomes a deep apricot-pink with lighter shadings of salmon and coral-pink, 
The plant is tall, upright, and vigorous, with long straight stems and broad 
leathery foliage. Moderately fragrant. Plant Pat. No. 730. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each.

$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each.
