SUB-ZERO HYBRID TEA ROSES 
A new, hardier race of Roses that blooms all summer. Produces the best of fragrant flowers more freely 
and constantly. Extra sturdy and vigorous, living much longer, even after sub-zero winters. 
2 years old, each $1.65; 2 for $3.00 
Anne Vanderbilt. Exquisite coppery orange, in- 
formal, semi-double, very brilliant, fragrant. 
Patent No. 504. 
Break o’Day. Orange to apricot, large flowers, 
very vigorous, free bloomer, delightfully inspiring. 
CEDRIC ADAMS. The eminent radio commenta- 
tor, lover of people and Roses, has placed his 
name on this most magnificent Rose. Out of 
thousands of candidates, Cedric Adams chose this 
sturdy, large and double scarlet to carmine 
Aristocrat of Rosedom to carry a beautiful Rose 
with his name to the rest of the Rose growers of 
the country. 
For spring shipment only. We accept fall orders for Roses, but hold them for spring shipment. 
CURLY PINK. Matchless in the combination of 
size and form of bloom, beauty of cluster, con- 
stancy, vigor and foliage, hardiness and perform- 
ance. When established, many large, two-toned 
pink blossoms, in several stages, form a gorgeous 
bouquet on a single stem. 
Lily Pons. White with pure yellow center; large 
flowers of indescribable delicacy; vigorous, free 
bloomer. Patent No. 420. 
Pink Princess. Bud red, flower deep pink, famous 
as the first Hybrid Tea free from premature 
defoliation. Patent No. 459. 
V FOR VICTORY. Most beautiful, large, very 
double, yellow, fragrant Roses; constantly bloom- 
ing. To numberless experts, there is no such long 
lasting loveliness in a Rosa. 
PATENTED ROSES 
Crimson Glory, Patent No. 105. Most popular of 
all the crimson Roses. Flowers very large deep 
crimson with perfect form and fine fragrance. 
Each $1.35; Doz. $13.59. 
Forty-Niner, Patent No. 792. Brilliantly hued 
bicolor that justly secured an A.A.R.S. AWARD 
for 1949. Its contrasting colors are startling in 
their brilliance, and yet they blend together 
beautifully. Inside of petals is a vivid Orient-Red 
while the outside is a chrome-yellow, changing to 
straw-yellow. Colors are lasting and bright. The 
long bud opens to a well shaped, bloom of 25 to 
40 petals, mildly fragrant. Each $1.75; Doz. 
$17.50. 
Mission Bells, Patent No. 928. Deep glowing 
salmon, which opens to a clear shrimp pink color. 
Vigorous, heavily branched plants are abundantly 
clothed with disease resistant coppery green 
foliage. The buds are pointed and open to high 
centered flowers which often measure 5'%4 inches 
across. A.A.R.S. award for 1950. Each $2.00; 
Doz. $20.00. 
New Yorker, Patent No. 823. Perfectly formed 
buds; brilliant unfading red blooms, often measur- 
ing 5% in. across. Delightful almost raspberry 
fragrance. Plants are very vigorous, hardy, and 
disease resistant. One of America’s very best red 
roses. Each $2.00; Doz. $20.00. 
Peace, Patent No. 591. This Rose is almost un- 
believable. One marvel of it is the dawn-like 
range of colors through which it passes, from 
opening yellow buds, with edges picoted cerise, 
to the glorious 5 in, alabaster blooms, each petal 
edged with pink that seems to deepen as the 
flower slowly opens. The shades of color vary, 
also from flower to flower and through the chang- 
ing seasons. We find this one of the largest of all 
Hybrid Tea Roses with fine rich green foliage and 
strong healthy canes. This Rose has everything 
a tea rose could possibly have. A.A.R.S. award 
for 1946. Each $2.00; Doz. $20.00. 
Sutter’s Gold, Patent No. 885. Beautiful, long- 
pointed, yellow bud, richly shaded with orange 
and red. Rich tea fragrance not found in any 
other yellow Rose. The 24-petaled flowers are 
high-centered and richly colored. A.A.R.S. 
award for 1950. Each $2.00; Doz. $20.00.
