Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont. This is, without question, 
the top yellow garden Rose in this country. The 
plants are about average in height but are bushy, 
clothed with attractive dark shiny foliage, and 
they bloom as continuously as a Hybrid Tea Rose 
ever does. They are fully double but not too full 
and carry a delightful spicy fragrance. Although 
the stems are not as long as some of the florists’ 
varieties, they are splendid cutting flowers. The 
golden color of Mrs. du Pont is the deepest and 
richest of any Rose having real form. 
New Yorker. Plant Pat. No. 823. A red, red Rose 
that stays red. Huge flowers often 6 inches in 
diameter, of beautiful form and texture. Up- 
right, 3-foot plants blooming continuously. $2.00.

red shaded with chrysanthemum-crimson. Long, 
perfect buds opening to large, double flowers 
with pleasing perfume. A vigorous, healthy plant 
blooming over a Jong season. See color illustration 
on page 3. $1.50 each. 
PEACE. Plant Pat. No. 591. This is one of the most 
appealing Roses ever introduced. The buds are 
coppery pink, but when the flower opens fully this 
pink is the edging of a beautiful, wide-petaled 
bloom of softest yellow. A warm pink light glows 
through the entire flower. The plant is very 
strong, with dark foliage. See color illustration 
on inside front cover. $2.00 each. 
Picture. This well-named Rose bears beautifully 
formed, medium-sized blooms of clear rose-pink. 
Vigorous, bushy plants produce an unusual quan- 
tity of bloom. A great Rose becoming pop- 
ular everywhere because of the quantity of its 
beautiful buds. See color illustration on page 6. 
President Herbert Hoover. There have been 
several tall bicolors since this Rose came out, but 
this 1s still the best of them. It is one of the 
tallest growing of all Hybrid Teas, carries healthy 
foliage, and produces its beautiful flowers on 
2-foot stems. Long-pointed buds open into large 
flowers that are a pleasant blend of soft yellow 
and rose-pink. There is a fragrance but it is 
quite mild. A good Rose to plant in the back of 
the bed, and where long-stemmed flowers are 
wanted for cutting it is unexcelled. 
Poinsettia. The clear poinsettia-scarlet color of 
this Rose prompted its name. It has very pretty, 
long buds and flowers of a rich color and large 
size. The tall, healthy plants are good producers. 
Radiance. The most popular of all garden Roses. 
Brilliant pink, shaded darker on the outer surface 
of the petals. Vigorous and always in flower. 
Red Radiance. Very stout, healthy plants, pro- 
ducing abundant crops of bright light rosy crim- 
son flowers shaped exactly like those of Radiance. 
Rubaiyat. Plant Pat. No. 758. Another beautiful 
red Rose, lighter on the reverse. Long, graceful 
buds and large, long-lasting flowers with old Rose 
fragrance. The tall, strong plant is hardy and 
healthy. Excellent for cutting. See color illustra- 
tion on page 2. $1.50 each. 
San Fernando. Plant Pat. No. 785. Glowing 
currant-red, lovely in both bud and bloom. Very 
heavily textured petals; especially fragrant. Com- 
pact and sturdy plant with dark, leathery foliage. 
See color illustration on page 2. $1.50 each. 
Senator Joe T. Robinson. This new Rose of ours 
has a plant of the type we have been breeding for 
—strong and bushy with healthy foliage. Our 
customers who have bought this Rose agree that 
this seedling, which we named for our late be- 
loved Senator, is all that we claim for it. The 
beautiful flowers are of good size, nice form, a 
pleasmng shade of dark red, and they are delight- 
fully fragrant. This is a Rose that we are proud 
of and believe that you will be pleased with it. 
See color illustration on page 6. $1.50 each. 
Seeur Therese. The plants are rather awkward, 
branching here and there in every direction, but 
they are healthy and strong, so that the flowers 
do not droop. The blooms grow in short-stemmed 
clusters; they begin as chrome-yellow buds marked 
with carmine, which open .to good-sized, loose, 
daffodil-yellow flowers. They are pleasingly fra- 
grant. This Rose does unusually well in the South 
and is becoming very popular there. See color 
illustration on page 7. 
Sutter’s Gold. Plant Pat. No. 885. <A very 
beautiful new Rose with long-pointed yellow buds 
richly shaded with orange and red, carried on 
long straight stems. The 25-petaled flowers vary 
from rich deep orange through various shades of 
yellow. Pronounced tea fragrance. Glossy, light 
green foliage, healthy and attractive. An AIl- 
America Selection for 1950, and also winner of 
the Bagatelle Gold Medal. See color illustration

Taffeta. Plant Pat. No. 716. Rich pink and salmon 
tones in changeable combinations. The reverse 
is yellow. Splendid cutting Rose; fragrant. Up- 
right, bushy plant. See color illustration on page 
3. $1.50 each. 
Talisman. This sensational Rose dominated the 
bicolor garden sorts for a Jong time, and it is 
still the most popular of the florists’ bicolor Roses. 
The plants’ are quite upright in growth, with 
pale green foliage and double, heavy-petaled 
flowers of scarlet and gold, changing with age to 
ivory-yellow and rose. They are fragrant and 
especially desirable for cutting.
