Golden Dawn Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
The ideal yellow garden Rose. The ovoid, lemon-yellow bud, 
heavily splashed with crimson, develops into a well-formed, 
sweetly scented, large, double, sunflower-yellow flower that 
reminds of the old-fashioned Marechal Niel. Vigorous, free 
flowering. 
Grand Duchess Charlotte (Patented) 
Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Award All-America Rose Selections, 1942.) This Rose aristo- 
crat provides a color unknown in any other Rose. The beau- 
tiful, long, stream-lined buds are glowing morocco-red and 
open to 25 firm-petaled blooms of dusky coral-red which do 
not fade, and gradually merge to a soft coral-pink. When 
unfolding, the petals recurve and make a delightfully in- 
formal, artistic flower with a hint of Carnation fragrance.

Heart’s Desire Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Plant Patent No. 501.) First place winner of the All-America Rose 
Competition for 1941. A strong grower, owing to its parentage which 
is the well known never failing Radiance. Buds are ovoid, sometimes 
long and pointed, are deep red with dark crimson shading. Foliage is 
rich green and growing habit is luxuriant. Flowers freely produced 
throughout the entire season are delightfully fragrant. One of the best 
red Roses. 
Hill Top Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Plant Patent No. 525.) Hill Top is one of the latest introductions of 
Hill’s, one of their best. The handsomely moulded flowers have loosely 
outward rolled petals quite pointed, creating the effect so sought in 
Roses. The color at opening is a deep capucine-buff and remains that 
shade in the center of the flower while the outer edges of the flower 
petals turn a pale pinkish buff. Hill Top is a very free blooming variety 
and a clean, strong grower. As you know, it is one of the favorite cut 
flower Roses and soon will be a garden favorite because of its color as 
well as clean; strong habit. 
Joanna Hill Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Invaluable for the garden. The buds are large, long, pointed, and open 
to large, full, semi-double, attractive, long-lasting, moderately fragrant 
flowers of a clear yellow with orange-yellow heart. They are borne 
singly on long, strong stems; growth vigorous, upright; a profuse 
bloomer. : 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Soft pearly white, tinted with just enough lemon in the center to relieve 
the white; remarkably fragrant, beautifully formed flowers on long, 
graceful stems; a strong, free, healthy grower. 
Katherine T. Marshall Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Plant Patent No. 607.) This is a Rose of rare beauty and delicacy 
of form. It grows vgiorously with large, open, upright blooms of friendly 
warm glowing pink. Highly praised in all sections of the country. Bred 
to hardiness and perfect form. The growth and foliage are equal to the 
Radiance family and outstrip the old favorite President Hoover. Fruity 
fragrance. Long, fine stems, ideal for cutting. Buds are long-pointed, 
deep coral-pink with suffusion of yellow. Full, cupped, 5-inch blooms. 
Heavy petals resist summer sun. Hardy, very vigorous, tall, 2 to 4 feet.

Lowell Thomas Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Patent No. 595.) (Award All-America Rose Selections, 1944.) The 
vibrant chrome-yeilow blooms open from beautifully shaped buds. They 
have high-cupped centers with outward rolling petals, making mag- 
nificent glowing flowers over 4 inches across when fully open. The 
color is penetrating, clear and deep, having a vibrant quality not seen 
in other Roses of this color. It is a@ strong grower with good foliage 
and stiff stems. The finest to date of the deep yellow Roses. 
Major Shelly Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Plant Patent No. 447.) Vivid, vibrant, glowing scarlet. Petals glisten 
inside with a veivety sheen. Appealing, wavy petal formation. Excel- 
lent for cutting. Hardy. Vigorous and sturdy bushes.

Mirandy (Plant Patent No. 632Z) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Award All-America Selections, 1945.) The first place winner of the 
All-America Rose Competition for 1945. A gorgeous, fragrant, red Rose 
that takes its place with the finest red Roses of the world. The big, 
ovoid buds, often long-pointed, are deep, rich dark red with black shad- 
ings, opening to a gorgeous Chrysanthemum-red. The flower displays 
new beouties of form as the petals unfold and eventually becomes a 
large full bloom (50 petals), with excellent lasting qualities. Mirandy 
has a wonderful, penetrating, damask fragrance which many will say 
is the finest Rose fragrance they have ever inhaled. The plant is strong, 
free branching, with heavy stout stems, and keeps producing its glorious 
flowers freely all season against a background of dark green, heavy- 
textured foliage.
