Armstrong 
Bush Roses 
For Gardening Pleasure 
Grow These Better Roses 
Sweet Sixteen 
Dainty pink, with tints of rose and a dash of gold—a soft rose complexion in the 
delicate colors of youth and beauty. The Jong, tight buds, half-open blooms and large- 
petaled flowers of this Armstrong Rose are magnificent in their perfection. From 
spring until fall you will enjoy a long succession of sweetly fragrant buds and flowers 
borne on long straight stems. The plants are tall, rather slender and do especially well 
in coastal or cool weather regions, where Sweet Sixteen is exceedingly lovely in form

Picture 
There are no adequate adjectives nor color 
plates good enough to do justice to the perfect 
pink buds and flowers of Picture. Even if they 
could give you some idea of the color, they 
would still fail to suggést the warmth of the 
rich salmon undertones. Each flower is heavily 
petaled, substantial and long-lasting, and the 
strong vigorous plants produce continuously 
from the spring to fall.

This familiar multicolor combines shades of 
cerise, pink, flame, scarlet, and yellow. The 
long buds are beautifully formed, and open 
slowly into a gigantic bloom possessing a most 
delicious fragrance. It is a magnificent grower, 
four feet in one season being quite ordinary, 
and it is not a question of how long you want 
the stems to be, it is only how long you wish 
to cut them. Give it plenty of room, it will 
use it.

bud of scintillating rose-red or crimson, usually becoming paler in the open 
RS _ bloom. Both buds and flowers are extra large and carry a delightful fragrance. 
This variety displays its best color and most perfect form in cool climates, 
but everywhere the tall vigorous plant keeps up a never-ending succession of blooms.

The extremely long buds are gigantic 
in size, yet they are saved from awk- 
AA\RS wardness by their graceful perfection 
of form and rich color. With changes 
in the weather the color of the bud varies 
from deep rose to flame. The open flowers, 
with a rich fruity fragrance, are fully double 
and strikingly colored in tones of flame, coral, 
and copper. All-America Winner for 1940.

Talisman 
This vividly colored rose is probably better 
known as a florist’s cut flower than any other. 
The buds are exquisitely formed, orange-scarlet 
and golden-yellow in color, and are borne on 
long stiff stems. The open flowers are richly 
fragrant. Talisman was one of the very best 
roses of its day and it has great sentimental 
value for many planters. However, we think 
that Taffeta, Signora, and other newer roses in 
this color range are superior.
