sport has the same fine foliage and strong stems and will give you the same huge 
perfectly formed flowers. The full ovoid bud is deep yellow with the edges of

Where you get dozens of blooms on the bush form of this popular pink variety, 
you will get hundreds of beautiful, long-stemmed, perfectly formed buds on this 
climber. Each flower is a “perfect picture’ in clear rose-pink with warm salmon 
undertones, every bloom enchantingly fragrant. An Armstrong introduction. Plant 
Pat. No. 524. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
Climbing President Hoover 
The famous President Hoover, with its pink, red, yellow, and buff flowers, is 
vigorous enough as a bush, but as a climber it grows by leaps and bounds. 
Beautiful flowers are produced in great profusion, each one on a long stem 
perfect in color and symmetry. Popular with rose growers everywhere. 
$1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each. 



Paul’s Scarlet 
Mermaid 
Grow it as a climber, as a pillar rose, or as 
a big rambling bush. It makes a great mass 
of glossy foliage the year around. Through- 
out the season it produces big, 5 to 6-inch, 
single flowers, pale sulphury-yellow with a gold 
center. $2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.70 each. 
Paul’s Scarlet 
The flowers are of an intense vivid scarlet, 
semi-double, very freely produced in great 
clusters of from 3 to 20 blooms. The brilliant 
flowers do not fade, but maintain their flaming 
color until the last petal has dropped. This 
variety is hardy, even in sub-zero climates. 
The mantle of flaming color created by this 
variety on a fence, trellis or arbor is one of 
the most spectacular of spring sights. 
$1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each. 
Climbing Show Girl 
Show Girl is one of the many fine roses 
originated in the Research Department of 
the Armstrong Nurseries. We are glad that 
we are able to offer a climbing sport of 
this splendid deep pink variety which will 
furnish amazing quantities of the longest, 
most perfectly formed, deep-pink rose buds 
that you’ve ever seen. The plant is a vigor- 
ous grower and will produce enough long- 
stemmed flowers so that you can literally 
cut a bouquet nearly every day in the 
spring. Plant Pat. No. 892. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
Climbing Talisman 
It is difhcult to imagine anything more 
striking than a fence or trellis blanketed 
with the marvelous urn-shaped buds and 
lovely red and gold flowers of Talisman. 
On a four-year-old plant we counted 311 
perfect, long-stemmed buds and flowers at 
one time. How is that for a marvelous 
garden show? 
$1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each. 
Climbing Texas Centennial 
The long, brick-red buds and the huge, 
rosy, open flowers are even larger, more 
lovely, and borne on longer stems than on 
the bush form of this rose which is so 
popular everywhere. It is a great big vigor- 
ous plant, blooming profusely every spring, 
and it will give you all kinds of big, long- 
stemmed, brilliantly colored buds for cut- 
ting. Plant Pat. No. 565. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
The Banksias 
A rampant old California climber, spreading 
everywhere, festooned in the springtime with 
a profusion of little button-like flowers. Ab- 
solutely thornless. We have Banksia White and 
Banksia Yellow. 
$2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.70 each. 
The Cherokees 
We like to recommend the old-fashioned single 
flowered Cherokee Roses because they fit into 
informal landscapes so well. The foliage is 
a bright shining green, and the delicately col- 
ored single flowers are produced in great 
masses in the spring. They do best when 
allowed to ramble over fence or wall with- 
out pruning. We have Pink Cherokee, Red 
Cherokee, and White Cherokee. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
23 
High Noon 
The intense shade of clear shining 
yellow displayed in the medium- 
AA\RS sized well-shaped buds cannot be 
found in any other rose today. 
High Noon is the winner of the 1948 
Regional All-America Award for the Pacific 
Coast and Southern States. 
It is not a rampant climber, but a bushy 
8-foot pillar rose, best displaying its beauty 
when grown against post, wall, or arbor. 
High Noon grows quickly, producing buds 
on long, almost thornless stems. Best of all, 
it does not stop with a brilliant display of 
spring color, but continues: to bloom 
throughout the entire growing season. 
Originated in the Armstrong Research 
Dept. by W. E. Lammerts. Plant Pat. No. 
704. $1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.50 each. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin 
For sheer exquisite beauty of color and 
form, this pink rose from Spain is unex- 
celled. The vigorous plant produces great 
quantities of bloom which keep opening 
for several months in the spring. The long 
buds open to semi-double flowers of deli- 
cate pink with a delightful fragrance. 
$1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each.
