Che Finest of the CNew Roses 
“Babe Ruth” (Patent Applied For) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
It's a big hit. This fine new Rose performs like the American sports 
“Tom Breneman” (Patent Applied For) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
The glorious new Rose ‘’Tom Breneman’’ was originated by the late 
hero for whom it was named. Through the entire Rose season, this Rose 
never lets you down; it can be depended upon for a top perfcrmance. 
The plants are strong and vigorous. The leathery foliage is green, clean 
and flawless. The buds tell you beforehand that when the flowers open 
something is going to happen, and it does. The heavy petaled, copper- 
salmon buds develop into large, ovoid flowers, the color changing to 
rose-pink as the petals fold back and the flower reaches its zenith. The 
stems are long, unbending and support the flowers in perfect balance. 
Score your bushes for flowers. You will find at the end of the season 
that the new variety ‘‘Babe Ruth” is always well up among the top 
flight producers in the league of Roses. 
Capistrano (Patent Applied For) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
(Winner All-America Rose Selections, 1950.) Capistrano in bud as well 
as when fully open is noted for its beautiful translucent, glowing rose- 
pink color. It retains this sparkling brilliance throughout the entire 
life of the flower, never fading or changing. It is one of the most vig- 
orous Roses ever introduced. Large buds, large flowers and extra long 
stems; delightfully fragrant. Here is a Rose with a great future. 
Fashion (Plant Patent No. 789) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00, 
(Winner All-America Rose Selections, 1950). An exquisitely beautiful 
Floribunda. The color is luminous coral-pink overlaid with gold which 
softens to clear coral and then deepens into deeper tinted tones at the 
finishing stage. Pointed buds are Oriental red and slowly open into a 
lovely miniaturelike Hybrid Tea form. The open flowers are about 31/2 
inches across and have a delightful old rose fragrance. Grows about 21/2 
to 3 feet tall; good foliage and prolific blooming. At the National Rose 
Society’s Show in London it received the Gold Medal and was the sen- 
sation of the Show. No wonder it won the All-America Award for 1949.

“Rose Selections 
What Does A.A.R.S. Mean? 
First of all it means co-operation rather than competition 
among the leading Rose Growers of the country. 
You no longer have to take one man’s or one firm’s word 
about the good qualities of a new Rose. The Rose varieties 
recommended by A.A.R.S. before introduction were sent to 
official and authentic test gardens located in different sections 
of the United States where they underwent a two-year official 
test under the supervision of the best American Judges avail- 
able at each test garden (14 in all), located in different cli- 
matic sections. A.A.R.S. points out to you the varieties that 
the leading Rose men of the nation have agreed are the most 
meritorious introductions of the year. Runners-up which fail 
by a very small margin to win the award have great merit and 
deserve to be, and are, usually introduced by several firms. 
So in A.A.R.S. there is an emblem which takes much of the 
gamble and guesswork out of buying new Roses for you.

Mission Bells (Patent Applied For) 
Sutter’s Gold (Patent Applied For) 
Fred Howard, America’s leading rosarian. The happiness, laughter and 
gayety that Tom Breneman brought to the world over the radio could not 
be better exemplified than in the new Rose that bears his name. From 
the time the bud unfurls until the last petals fall, you will find nothing 
flat or dull in this variety. Every bud and flower is full of vigor, happi- 
ness and color. The rugged plants cive unstintingly throughout the en- 
tire season. Other fine Roses have qualities that delight the eye, in the 
sense of form and color, but in addition to these lovely attributes, the 
new Rose “‘Tom Breneman’’ has a quality of sweetness that surpasses 
all Roses in its field of color. The long coral-rose buds expand slowly 
into beautiful, long lasting flowers. During the height of the season, 
when the bushes ore covered with their coral-rose buds and flowers, 
that priceless ingredient, fragrance, is so intense that those standing 
close to the plant, inhaling the delicious fragrance, always remark— 
“Tom Breneman is the Rose we have been waiting for.’ 
( Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
(Winner All-America Rose Selections, 1950.) Mission Bells is a deep, 
glowing salmon opening to a brilliant clear shrimp-pink. The flowers are 
full centered and when fully open measure as much as 51/4 inches 
across. It is unusually vigorous and free branching, producing flowers 
in abundance. This variety will do well for all Rose growers and surely 
deserves the award it was given. 
1 Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
(Winner All-America Rose Selections, 1950.) The most outstanding 
feature of Sutter’s Gold is its beautiful, long, pointed, yellow bud, richly 
shaded with coppery red. When fully open it is a superb yellow Rose with 
coppery veins through its flower petals. It is an unusually strong grower, 
free branching and exceedingly free blooming for a yellow Rose. The 
fragrance is excellent, foliage very good; all in all a fine addition to the 
selection of yellow Roses. It also won the Foreign Gold Medal in Paris in 
June, 1948. An International Winner.
