WHAT’S NEW FOR 1950! 
NEW ROSES 
Q FASHION. The floribunda rose family is sweeping the 
AAYRS country. We believe this new floribunda Fashion is 
the finest yet. Ask anybody who has seen it. Intense 
salmon-orange in color with perfect foliage. For a fuller 
description and colored picture, see page 16. 
QP CAPISTRANO. In every test garden, you will find Cap- 
AANRS istrano to be the most vigorous and sturdy pink rose 
ever produced. Plant it and you will see why it was one of 
the four AARS selections for 1950. For fuller description 
and colored picture, see page 4. 
& MISSION BELLS. Another AARS Winner for 1950. 
AARS Pointed well-shaped buds are deep, glowing salmon- 
pink, opening to full high centered flowers in a clear 
shrimp-pink color. See page 4 for color picture and de- 
seription. 
SUTTER’S GOLD. Highest scoring Hybrid Tea rose in 
AAIRS the All-American trials. Long pointed yellow buds, 
shaded with orange and red. The buds open to a yellow 
flower that has a fine tea fragrance that you will find in 
no other rose. The foliage is just like Peace foliage, 
glossy, leathery and perfect. See front cover and page 8 
for picture and description. 
JUNO. This rose was the hit at both of the flower shows in 
Spokane during 1949. In our opinion it possesses one of 
the nicest blooms of any rose. It has one fault. It has 
no fragrance. Good roses like this just can’t have every- 
thing. See page 5 for colored cut and description. 
FANDANGO. A most brilliant shade of scarlet. The most 
prolific bloomer of any of the newer roses. Also the first 
one to come into bloom in the spring. All during the sum- 
mer, you will find blooms on this rose. For colored cut 
and description, see page 5. 
BABE RUTH. We haven’t seen this rose as yet but perhaps 
you have been reading about it. They say “It’s a hit” and 
performs like the sports hero it was named for. Copper 
salmon buds that open to large ovoid flowers of rose pink. 
See description, page 8. 
TOM BRENEMAN. Another rose that we have not seen in 
bloom as yet. Coral-rose in color with a very intense 
fragrance. For a complete description, see page 9. 
CLIMBING PEACE. Here is the climbing rose everybody 
has been asking for. Everybody that grows roses, has 
the Peace bush rose. You all know the beauty of the 
flower and wonderful glossy, leathery foliage of the bush 
rose. Here is your chance to have it in a climber with all 
the characteristics of the bush rose, only you will have 
more blooms and a longer stem. Please order early as our 
supply is somewhat limited. See opposite page. 
MINIATURE DWARF ROSES 
RED ELF. New for 1949. A delightful addition to our list 
of miniature roses that you will find on page 14. 

FLOWERING SHRUBS 
NEW FORSYTHIA-SPRING GLORY. Pale pleasant yellow 
color with twice the number of blossoms of the common 
forsythia. Branches are a mass of flowers that literally 
bend with their weight. See page 30. 
NEW WEIGELA—BRISTOL RUBY. This variety will un- 
doubtedly replace the other weigelas. Color is a soft ruby- 
red shading to garnet-crimson. See page 31. 
NEW MOCKORANGE — MINNESOTA SNOWFLAKE. See 
page 31 for a complete description of this new shrub and 
why we believe it is far superior to the common virginalis. 
PERENNIALS 
DELPHINIUM—PINK SENSATION. The only true pink per- 
ennial Delphinium in existence. Repeat bloomer with as 
many as three crops of bloom in one season. See page 38. 
DIANTHUS—MRS. DINA WELLER. New, beautiful little 
globe-shaped Dianthus of delicate salmon color. In bloom 
from early spring till frost. See page 38. 
HELLEBORUS (CHRISTMAS ROSE). While not a new 
perennial, we have had so many calls for it, we are listing 
it for the first time. See page 39. 
SHADE TREES 
NORWAY MAPLE—CRIMSON KING. The finest shade tree 
to be introduced in recent years. Last summer the people 
went wild over the crimson foliage that remained that 
way for as long as the leaves lasted. We didn’t have 
enough last year, but we can take care of you this year 
with our fine stock of these trees. See page 33. 
FRUIT TREES 
HOWARD’S “MIRACLE PLUM”. “Miracle Plum’’ marks an 
epoch in the advance of fine fruits for the table. Large 
size, firm amber flesh combined with a delightful color. 
Plant it this spring. See back cover. 
NEW RED BARTLETT. Originated in the Yakima Valley. 
All the characteristics of the regular Bartlett with the 
exception of the skin, which is highly colored red. Be the 
first in your locality to have this pear. We will have this 
variety in both the standard and dwarf sizes. See back 
cover for description and color cut. 
SMALL FRUITS 
CANADA RED RHUBARB. The reddest of all red rhubarb. 
The large tender stalks are red all the way through. For 
a better description of this new rhubarb, see page 43.
