(Editor’s Note: After careful trial in our own grounds, we consider the Selec- 
tions on these two pages by far the finest of the New Roses.) 
R58—RUBAIYAT. (Patent No. 758). This brilliant new rose was the 
only All-American Award Winner for 1947. The very strong, tall 
growing bush produces quantities of long, graceful crimson buds 
all season. Slowly these open to very large full blooms of richest 
cerise, with intense rose fragrance; luxuriant foliage. In the gar- 
den or in bouquets, you will find Rubaiyat is a sensation. Select, 
No. 1 plants, $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75. postpaid. 
RS593—CALIFORNIA. (Patent No. 449). It is impossible to picture ade- 
quately the striking, two-tone beauty, the warm glow of California 
—a great favorite with us. Giant buds, beautifully formed, open 
into very large flowers of orange toned with saffron-yellow in a 
rich sunburst effect. Strong grower; healthy, handsome foliage; 
lavish bloomer. An All-American Rose Winner. No rose garden 
is complete without it. Select, No. 1 plants, $1.25 each; 3 for $3.15, 
postpaid. 
R60—HEART'S DESIRE. (Patent No. 501). All-American Winner, and. 
one of the grandest roses ever grown. Long stemmed buds of per- 
fect form open into large, graceful, full flowers of bright, unfading 
crimson-scarlet, and are so fragrant they perfume the whole room. 
Strong, rugged plant. Select, No. 1 plants, $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75. 
postpaid. 
R61—PEARL HARBOR. (Patent No. 637). The exquisite “Memory 
Rose”. Large, pointed buds unfold into very full, glowing pink flow- 
ers of fine fragrance. Color somewhat two-toned—outside rose- 
pink, inside delicate shell-pink. Plant is extra strong, ALMOST 
THORNLESS, and bears many wonderful blooms throughout the 
season. Select, No. 1 plants, $1.25 each; 3 for $3.15, postpaid. 
R62—NEW YORKER. (Patent No. 823). The red, red rose that keeps 
its brilliant, thrilling color until the last petals fall. Superb buds of 
perfect form and texture open slowly into immense, full flowers 
of scarlet with rose-red overtones, and have a rich, velvety finish. 
A delightful, almost raspberry fragrance. June finds the strong, 
3-ft. plant covered with the magnificent blooms, and from then on 
until frost a@ continuous succession of the “best red roses of all 
times”. Select, No. 1 plants, $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00, postpaid. 
R63—TALLYHO. (Patent No. 828). This 1949 All-America Winner is 
one of the most robust and vigorous of all roses, producing a con- 
tinuous display of wonderful, two-toned, rich pink blooms. The 
outside of the petals deepens to cardinal, the heart of the flower 
rose-pink with salmon tint. We predict that Tallyho is going to be 
in great favor for many years to come because of its beautiful color, 
rich spicy fragrance. Splendid for cutting. Select, No. 1 plants, $2.00 
each; 3 for $5.00, postpaid. 
R64—FORTY-NINER. (Patent No. 792). This new, brilliant, bi-colored 
rose, a 1949 All-America Winner, is really outstanding. It attracts 
your attention immediately, once it comes into vision. The inside 
petals are a vivid oriental red, while on the outside the color is 
chrome yellow, sometimes flushed pink, the contrast especially 
marked in the bud. The flowers are large and shapely, have pleas- 
ing fragrance, and are fine for cutting. Very few thorns. Select No. 
1 plants, $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00, postpaid. 
R65—ECLIPSE. (Patent No. 172). The Stream-Lined Bud of Pure Gold!

graceful, tapering, 2-inch buds of brilliant yellow, unfolding to 
shapely blooms of unfading richness. Beautiful and popular for 
bouquets, for the boutonniere and corsage. All over the country it 
is a great performer. Select. No. 1 plants, $1.35 each; 3 for $3.40,
