Just last spring we introduced this beautifu)-~ew 
rose and named it after Henry Field as a memorial to 
Plant Patent 
No. 841 
The demand for it was so great that we sold 
cut very early and had to book late 1950 orders for 
delivery this spring. 
We have received thousands of letters from people 
who planted it last spring telling us how pleased they 
are with it. We expected that, because, béfore naming 
it, we had tested it for several years. It is a Brownell 
hybrid tea rose—extra hardy; stands heat and drouth 
and cold down to 20 below zero. The flowers are big 
and rich red and beautiful. The foliage is bright 
green, and the plants make a broad, vigorous growth 
and bear an abundance of large, 60-petal blossoms. 
We are propagating these roses as fast as possible 
because we want all Henry Field’s friends to have 
one. But we probably will run out again this spring, 
so please order early. No. A1008, 2.00 each, postpaid.
