FINEST PATENTED ROSES 
(Continued) 
(Editor's Note: After careful trial in our own grounds, we consider the 
Selections on these two pages and on the front cover by far the most 
beautiful of the Newer Everblooming Roses. Wayne Ferris.) 
R7O—PEACE. (Pat. 59). Said to be the most perfect rose in cultivation. 
Superb buds of golden yellow are edged deep pink. Slowly these un- 
fold into large, very double, fragrant flowers of ethereal beauty— 
blended tints of yellow, pale gold and ivory, deepening to light cerise 
at the edge. Each day it seems more beautiful. The plant is remarkably 
strong and healthy, with heavy, luxurious foliage; blooms heavily. 
Peace is the All-American Rose Winner of 1946, and a glorious rose 
in every detail. Select, No. 1 plants, $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
R71—SHOW GIRL. (Pat. 646). The most gorgeous, rich pink rose buds 
for cutting! These extra long, glowing buds of vivid phlox pink soften 
a little as they open to great full flowers, but are always deep pink. 
Fiant is exceptionally strong, bearing lots of perfect buds and flowers 
all season. Why not enjoy the long lasting beauty of Show Girl in your 
own garden? Select, No. 1 plants, $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75. 
R72—LOWELL THOMAS. (Pat. 595). Because of crop conditions beyond 
our control this yellow rose is not available this season. 
R73—CRIMSON GLORY. (Pat. 105). Still the most popular dark red rose, 
and easily one of the finest roses of all times. Great flaring buds open 
into magnificent flowers of deep crimson with velvety texture. A glory 
ef-color in the garden; wonderful in bouquets. The vigorous plant pro- 
duces -a continuous succession of the richly fragrant flowers from June 
until frost. Select. No. 1 plants, $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75. 
R74—TAFFETA. (Pat. 716). Because of crop conditions beyond our con- 
trol the Taffeta Rose is not available this season. 
R45—CHARLOTTE ARMSTRONG. (Pat. 455). Favorite rose of many of our 
customers. Long, stream-lined buds of rich carmine unfold slowly into 
large, full blooms of sparkling cerise. Long stems make it ideal for 
cutting; remarkably free blooming. Plant unusually hardy and vigorous 
for a Hybrid Tea. Winner of many awards and the All-American Rose 
of 1941. Select, No. 1 plants, $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75.
