Tallyho 
Tallyho is a Hybrid Tea Rose combining many of the finest character- 
(G> istics found in the best of the older roses, with a color which is en- 
AASRS tirely new. We have to call it a pink, but you will find it unlike any 
other pink shade you have ever seen in a rose. Although Tallyho is a 
bicolor, the contrast is not great. The inside of the petals is always a delightful 
shade of pink, technically Tyrian Rose, China Rose, Phlox Pink, or Neyron 
Rose, while the outside or reverse varies from Crimson to Cardinal Red. The 
color scheme is difficult to describe, but there is no difficulty in telling you 
about the delightful spicy fragrance which this rose has in abundance. 
The robust growth of the plant is one of its finest characteristics. Continually 
branching, it throws out long straight flower stems each crowned with a beau- 
tiful ovoid bud which opens to a magnificent large high-centered fully double 
flower of exquisite shape. Originated in the Armstrong Research Dept. by 
H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. No. 828. $1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.50 each. 
Forty-niner 
Forty-niner is undoubtedly the most brilliant of all bicolors. This 
All-America Award Winner for 1949 is so startling in its contrasting 
AA\RS colors, and these colors so bright, that it is hard to believe that they 
could both be present in the same rose. The inside face of the petals 
is a vivid Orient Red, changing to Cherry Red with age. Outside, the petals 
are Chrome to Straw Yellow. These glowing colors contrast in a startling man- 
ner yet they blend together beautifully. The buds of Forty-niner are delightfully 
formed, opening out into well shaped flowers of large size (25 to 40 petals). 
They are mildly and pleasantly fragrant. The vigorous plant is tall and upright, 
branching moderately. The stems are long, straight, and sturdy, with few 
thorns. The vivid colors are lasting and brilliant until the last petal drops. Orig- 
inated in the Research Dept. of Armstrong Nurseries by H. C. Swim. Plant 
Pat. No. 792. $1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.50 each. 
Nocturne 

Fandango 
The outstanding feature of this new rose is its brilliant color. 
Rich deep scarlet in the bud, the flower changes as it opens to a 
bright Chinese Red. In all of our experience, we have never 
seen a more brilliant shade and it remains attractive until the 
last petal falls. Perfectly formed buds open rather quickly to 
a gorgeous flower with large petals (16 to 25 of them) having 
a crisp ruffled appearance. The big, vigorous plant of Fandango 
with its glossy foliage does not stop blooming at any time dur- 
ing the season. It no sooner finishes one burst of bloom than 
it is off on another. Of all the roses that we grow, this one 
comes into bloom earliest in the spring. True, Fandango loses 
petalage and size during very hot weather, but there will be 
flowers when other kinds are out of bloom. Originated in the 
Armstrong Research Dept. by H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. No. 894. 
$1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.50 each.
