ENS = FORTY-NINER 
Plant Pat. No. 792—Probably the 
most brilliantly hued bi-color rose 
ever introduced, Forty-niner was by 
unanimous acclaim given an All- 
America award for 1949. Ever since 
we saw the first brilliantly colored 
bud of this remarkable rose, we have 
been looking forward to the time 
when rose planters all over the coun- 
try could enjoy it. 1950 is the time! 
Its contrasting colors are startling in 
their brilliance, and yet they blend 
together beautifully. The inside of 
the petals is a vivid Orient Red, 
while the outside is a Chrome Yel- 
low, changing to Straw Yellow. It 
makes a beautiful plant in the gar- 
den, tall and vigorous. The colors are 
lasting and bright until the last petal 
drops. The long bud opens to a well- 
shaped bloom of 25 to 40 petals, 
mildly fragrant. There is no doubt in 
our minds that Forty-niner will jump 
into immediate popularity. Origin- 
ated in the Armstrong Research Dept. 
by H. C. Swim. $2.00 ea.; 3 for $5.00.
