We are offering five of the latest and top All-America Rose Winners. 
Each a different color and in a class by itself. All hardy, two-year-old, 
field-grown bushes. Proved better in all climates, and are the better 
roses which have been in the spotlight by recent national advertising. 
“BABE RUTH” (Patent Applied For). A new 1950 introduction. This 
fine new rose performs like the American sports hero for which it was 
named. Through the entire rose season, this rose never lets you down 
—it can be depended upon for a top performance. The heavy petaled 
copper-salmon buds develop into large ovoid flowers, the color changing 
to rose pink as the petals fold back and the fiower reaches its zenith. 
The stems are long, unbending and support the flowers in perfect balance. 
The leathery foliage is green, clean and flawless. Price: $2.00 each; 
3 for $5.00, net and no further discount. 
BUTTERSCOTCH. Plant Patent No. 613. Nothing like the color of 
Butterscotch has so far been seen in roses, and very few roses have as 
beautifully shaped flowers. The length and grace of the flower petals 
of this new variety are outstanding. The outside of the handsome petals 
is a soft, pale orange-yellow; the inside lemon-chrome at the base, 
changing to pale yellow-orange, penciled very lightly with orange-buff. 
The general color effect is a soft pastel capucine-buff. Healthy, green foliage, 
with strong, upright flower stems. Delightful rose fragrance. Price: $1.50 
each; 3 for $3.75 net, no further discount. 
FORTY-NINER (Plant Patent No. 792). This is probably the most brilliant 
bi-colored Rose ever introduced. Selected as one of the 10 best all-America 
Winners for 1949, and for the past two years, this spectacular rose has proved 
it deserved the honor. Inside face of the petals is vivid Oriental red fading 
New to cherry-red with age. The outside of the petals is a rich chrome-yellow, 
Yorker sometimes overlaid with pink, changing to straw color as the bloom opens. 
The yellow color is quite evident in the bud, while the red predominates 
when the flower is fully open. Long pointed buds open to unusually well- 
shaped flowers with 25 to 40 petals. Their fragrance is mild and pleasing. 
Foliage is highly resistant to disease. Price: $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00 net, 
no further discount. 
NEW YORKER (Plant Patent No. 823). A truly red rose that stays red 
until the petals fall. Has a delightful almost raspberry fragrance. The dark 
red color is clear and sparkling. The bud is slow opening and of perfect 
form and texture. As the bloom develops the color is scarlet with rose-red 
undertones and a rich velvety sheen. The blooms last long even in hottest 
weather. The young shoots are bright red, adding to the beauty and interest 
of New Yorker in your garden. The plant is hardy and disease resistant. 
Price: $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00 net, no further discount. 
PEACE. (Plant Patent No. 591). Winner in All-American Rose 
Selection for 1946. Highest scoring Rose throughout the entire 
history of All-America Rose trials. The shades and color of 
Peace vary amazingly with climate, soil and season. The buds 
are golden yellow, each petal edged with pink; its an enchanting 
thing to watch the buds open and the gold change to ivory or 
alabaster white while the pink blush spreads 
and deepens along the edge of every petal. 
The blooms are unusually large, very 
double, long-lasting and constantly fresh 
looking, with a haunting fragrance. Sturdy 
bushes with excellent disease-resistant 
foliage; very vigorous grower, strong, stiff 
flower stems. Price: $2.00 each; 3 for 
$5.00 net, no further discount. 
Easy to Grow — Long to Live — Save 
Replacement Expense 

These are the famous Brownell Sub-Zero Roses—A New Race of 
hardiness previously unknown in Hybrid Tea Roses. They are more 
vigorous, can live many times longer, are easier to grow, bloom more 
abundantly and more consistently, and their size, form and color 
compare with the best of the common Hybrid Tea Roses. Why? 
Because they are bred back to hardy species. They are super-hardy 
hybrid teas that absolutely won’t kill out even in temperatures that 
dip 25 degrees below zero. The technical meaning of our ‘‘ Sub Zero’» 
is wood safe to about 15 degrees below zero unprotected; hilled up 
with a little clean dirt 25 degrees below and colder; well hilled up about 
95% safe at 50 degrees below. Because they are so hardy we guarantee 
them unconditionally to live through one year without winter killing- 
Best of all they are free blooming, have long stems with flowers that 
last a Yong time. We are offering 6 of the best and leading varieties 
in this wonderful New Race of Roses, as follows: 
2-188—Break O’Day. Orange to apricot, large, very double flowers, 
very vigorous, free bloomer. 
2-189—Curley Pink. Matchless in size and form of bloom, beauty of 
cluster, vigor. Many large, two-toned pink blossoms, of over 50 
gracefully recurled petals.

flowers of indescribable delicacy; vigorous free bloomer. 
2-191—Queen o’ The Lakes. The queen of all the double reds.
