Bush Roses 
Fred Howard 
The great beauty of this All-America Winner for 1952 is not in the bud 
(GD but in the great big half-open and fully blown flowers. They are buff and 
AAJRS pale yellow, with a light flush of pink at the edge of each petal. The 50 
or so petals unfold slowly, always perfectly, and the variety is outstanding 
for cutting. Fred Howard boasts an extremely fine plant. Very vigorous and will 
get up to 4 or 5 feet in Western gardens with no trouble at all. Although tall, 
it is still bushy and the stems are straight and stout. Plant Pat. No. 1006. 
$2.50 each; 3 or more, $2.20 each.

An All-America Winner for 1945 and a good solid rose in every respect. 
(GQ The long-pointed, orange-pink buds are extraordinary for their length and 
AA\RS beauty of form. In the bud the color is more orange than pink, and as 
the big fully double flower opens it becomes a deep apricot-pink with 
lighter shadings of salmon and coral-pink. The plant is tall, upright, and vigorous, 
with long straight stems and broad leathery foliage. Moderately fragrant. Plant ue 
Pat. No. 730. $1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.55 each. \ ale md “~ ;

quisite long-pointed buds of bright luminous red without other shadings Lowell Thomas 
A and a superb fragrance. A few blooms will perfume an entire room. The 
plant with its light green foliage is rather willowy in habit, so there is 
an occasional weak neck. But who can resist a shining red rose with a wealth of 
heavy perfume—especially one which lasts as well as this does when cut. Plant 
Pat. No. 501. $1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.55 each.

For depth and clarity of color and its ability to do well in all areas, hot 
(Br weather or cool, this All-America Winner for 1944 is considered to be 
AASRS one of the best yellow roses. The plant is robust and tall-growing and is 
continually bursting with long, tightly furled buds of clean canary-yellow 
which open slowly into large glowing flowers on long, leafy stems. Plant Pat. 
No. 595. $2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.75 each.

When this rose bedecks itself in all the splendor of its spring array, we know 
you will be rating it as we do, among your favorites. The tight bud becomes suc- 
ceedingly more graceful as it opens into a large flower. The 25 or so petals are 
brilliant flame to raspberry-pink, and the luxuriant glossy light green foliage 
clothes the big spreading plant right down to the ground. A delightful fragrance 
adds to its charm. Plant Pat. No. 337. $1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.55 each.
