V for Victory. Patent 543. Brownell sub-zero hybrid tea, this time in 
sulphur-yellow with a touch of red in the centers. Fully double, very fragrant, 
long cutting stems; plant is vigorous to 5-6 feet, good disease-resistant foliage. 
Our test plants, this summer, have made an excellent showing. 
Summer, 1949. “This is the prize yellow rose of my garden,’ says old friend, 
Colonel Claude Feagin, of Soquel, California, who grows some mighty fine roses 
“back in them thar hills.” 1.50 
Will Rogers. Patent 256. This is a “‘controvercial” rose. Its critics say 
it burns badly in the hot sun. We agree. Its admirers call it the best of‘ the 
black-red roses and recommend light shade for best performance. Certainly 
one of the most distinctive of all moderns—fully double, with a beautifully 
ruffled petal arrangement; almost always in profuse bloom; heavy attar of rose 
perfume. We say Will Rogers is a great rose and so will you, if you give it a spot 
it likes, protected from a too brilliant sun. a5 
Yours Truly. Patent 697. Another Ted Morris creation, introduced in 
1945. Rated by many the best of the hot-weather pinks; blooms in high tempera- 
tures and holds its beautiful rose-pink tones to the end. Upright grower, with 
long, smooth stems; richly sweet-scented. 1.50 
And so, gentle reader, the catalogue writer once again wipes his fevered brow, 
asks your forgiveness for his enthusiasms, his mistakes and his repetitions, and signs 
off with “Yours Truly.”
