OLD GOLD 
Marie van Houtte. Canary-yellow, petals tipped 
pink. Large, fairly double flowers borne in pro- 
fusion over a long season. Foliage dark and 
abundant. 
Mme. Camille. Large, full, well formed; aurora- 
pink, veined with white reflections; fragrant. A 
lovely old Tea. 
Mme. Lombard. This Rose is one of the great 
favorites with those who love Tea Roses. Car- 
mine-pink, shaded salmon, deepening to almost 
red in the fall. Rank grower and profuse bloomer. 
A generation ago it was the unrivaled leader of 
Tea Roses in the Lower South, and today there 
are many who still think it the best. 
Mme. Melanie Soupert. Salmon-yellow, shaded 
pink. An old Rose but one of the best. Large, 
very double flowers on stiff stems. See color 
illustration. 
Monsieur Tillier. Sent to us as a red Tea with 
small blooms like Cecile Brunner. But in the 
Lower South it grows vigorously, like other Teas, 
and the flowers are larger. Just a good light red 
Tea. 
Mrs. Dudley Cross. Most vigorous of All Yellow 
Tea Roses. Light yellow, long, Cochet-like bud; 
immense flowers, opening light yellow and grad- 
ually developing tints of pink. Wood perfectly 
thornless. A rank grower, showy and completely 
satisfactory Tea Rose that should be in every 
collection. 
SEE THE THOMASVILLE 
ROSE SHOW, April 28, 1951 
Rose time in the Deep South is celebrated an- 
nually through the staging of the Thomasville 
Rose Show, the most spectacular flower show in the 
Southeast, by the Thomasville Garden Club, as- 
sisted by the Chamber of Commerce and other 
civic groups. There will be a gigantic parade of 
many floats, tours of famous Southern plantations, 
the Rose Show and special exhibits at the Veterans 
Domiciliary and the Rose Show dances. 
The 1951 show will be one of great beauty, size 
and merit. If you miss seeing the Thomasville 
Rose Show, you miss a delightful experience. All 
Thomasville welcomes you! 
THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA 
Being an “‘old’’ variety is nothing against a plant. 
Rather, the old varieties that remain in favor occupy a 
unique position, for they stay with us strictly on merit. 

Mrs. B. R. Cant. Deep rose to light red; large, 
double flowers. Vigorous and profuse. One of the 
best of all Tea varieties; many rank it right along 
with William R. Smith and Mrs. Dudley Cross. 
Old Gold. Something different nm color for Tea 
Roses. Orange, with yellow and pink shades, 
Vigorous and prolific. A rare and attractive Tea 
Rose that is well named. 
Papa Gontier. Rose-red; fine, long-pointed buds 
and large, semi-double flowers. 
Perle d’Or. The salmon Sweetheart Rose. 
Safrano. Saffron-yellow. Very vigorous bush and 
free bloomer. A very old, dependable Tea, ap- 
preciated where it is known.
