BES TALK ROSES! 
Texas grown Roses have a bad name. Why? For several reasons. 
First, most of the plants have just been grown to SELL with no 
regard to proper culture, grading, or handling. Four years ago, 
we became so disgusted with the quality of Rose bushes that we 
were able to buy, that we decided to grow our own. We employed 
a Rose specialist—a man who had worked for the Texas Rose 
Experiment Station for 11 years and had been growing Roses for 
17 years. Our first crop of Western Grown Roses was harvested 
2 seasons ago and we were pleasantly surprised with the results. 
Since then, we have sold out on a few varieties and had to buy— 
with the same old results—complaints from customers and refund- 
ing their money. Now, for the first time, we can guarantee to 
supply Western Grown Jumbo Bushes in both Standard and Pat- 
ented varieties—direct and fresh from our nursery. 
Our bushes are grown on rich, sandy loam, with a tight, red clay 
sub-soil that holds plenty of moisture for steady growth through 
the hot, dry summer. The canes harden as they grow and our 
arid climate prevents leaf spot and die-back disease. Our only 
problem thus far has been keeping the bushes from getting too 
large. Our customers like big, healthy bushes, so that’s the way 
well grow ’°em. Compare our Roses with any in the Nation— 
if they are not far better than any you can get from another source, 
then you keep our bushes and we'll refund your money. Regard- 
less of where you buy Roses—don’t accept shriveled plants. Send 
them back and get your hard-earned money refunded. The same 
thing applies to Wolfe Nursery—if you ever get anything that is 
not entirely satisfactory, please let us know. When you buy from 
us, we want you to get more than your money’s worth.

Certainly this All-America Winner for 1946 is one of the most beautiful of all Roses. 
Perhaps its chief beauty is the great range of colors through which it passes. The 
full ovoid bud is deep yellow, with the edges of the petals picoteed cerise. It slowly opens 
to a glorious 5-inch bloom with shades of canary-yellow, pale gold, cream, pearly white, and 
apple blossom. Although the bloom is unusually Jarge, double and long-lasting, the dainty 
coloring gives it marvelous beauty. The plant is just as large and fine as the blooms, being 
above average in size, and the flowers are borne on long straight stems above the vigorous 
shining foliage. The fragrance is moderate. No such amazing combination of strong stems, 
fine lasting qualities, and huge, perfectly formed, delicately colored Roses, ever existed before.
