many-petaled flowers of clear Primrose Yellow—brim full of old-fashioned rose

found in roses. Debonair keeps on producing dozens of its perfect tight-rolled 
buds throughout the season. Its stems are not long, but they are plenty long 
enough to cut, for each one is sturdy and straight. Plants medium height.

Mirandy 
The first place All-America Winner for 1945. This Armstrong rose 
(@r creation produces big, ovoid, long-pointed buds of deep rich red with 
AAXRS black shadings, which open to Chrysanthemum Red flowers. Along 
with its deep rich color, Mirandy possesses the most delicious, full- 
bodied fragrance you have ever inhaled. The flower displays new beauties of 
form as the petals unfold, and eventually becomes a huge full bloom (50 petals) 
which lasts a long time. Mirandy is best in sunshine and warm weather. In cool 
foggy areas near the coast, the flowers do not always open perfectly, but when 
they are right, they are unbeatable. Plants medium in height, vigorous, and 
free-branching. Originated in the Armstrong Research Dept. by W. E. Lam- 
merts. Plant Pat. No. 632. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each.

If you want to enjoy the most beautiful, the most perfect, and the longest deep 
pink rose buds you can imagine, be sure to plant this Armstrong Rose. We think 
it is one of the finest pink roses of all for cutting because of the magnificence 
of the buds and the lasting quality of the flower, with its big heavy-textured 
petals. No matter where you grow roses, Show Girl will flourish—coast or in- 
land, cool or warm, foggy or sunny. Tall, rather slender, with big heavy canes 
and plenty of lovely flowers borne on long sturdy stems. Just enough fragrance 
to give it character. Plant Pat. No. 646. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
Taffeta 
Taffeta is outstanding for its ability to produce many long-stemmed, 
perfectly formed, fragrant buds in rich pink and salmon shades. They 
AA\RS are presented in a different color combination with each change in 
the weather. The color generally is a rich Carmine Rose in the bud, 
changing to Begonia Rose in the open flower. Frilled and delicately veined 
petals make up a perfect slender bud, which opens to a semi-double flower with 
about 21 crisp petals and a very pronounced fragrance. The plant is larger than 
average, vigorous and upright, with the new growth mahogany red changing to 
dark glossy green. Taffeta has done wonderfully well in all sections of the 
country. Originated in the Armstrong Research Dept. by W. E. Lammerts.
