THESE are the TWO AARS AWARD WINNERS 
FOR 1953 
After two full years of testing by critical 
judges in all sections of the United States, 
these two Roses were awarded the most cov- 
eted prize a Rose can win in America, the 
AARS AWARD. They withstood the hot 
summer heat of Texas and the cold winter 
weather of Minnesota, as well as other test 
gardens from the west coast to the Atlantic. 
They are available for the first time this fall. 
They were judged to be the best two new 
Roses to be introduced this fall and next 
spring. 
FC 101 MA PERKINS. (P. A. F.) A Flori- 
bunda type Rose and a border, bed or even 
a small group, will be a joy and delight 
from late spring, right through summer 
and up to freezing weather in the fall. 
Makes a healthy, bushy plant around 214 
feet tall that blooms constantly. It is im- 
possible to describe or picture accurately 
the beauty of the flowers. You simply say 
they are a charming pink, lighted with a 
soft golden touch and_ brightened by a 
fairy’s brush with coral and rose. The buds 
are streamlined, perfect for corsages and 
arrangements. The fully opened flower is 
double and as attractive as the regular 
hybrid Tea Roses. Has a pleasing fra- 
grance. We are proud to help introduce 
this great Rose. Even if you do not want 
to plant this fall, the demand will be so 
great that we advise ordering this fall for 
spring’s shipment. 
Each $2.25 3 for $6.00 6 for $12.00

(P. A. F.) Right from the very 
first bloom, it was evident in the 
AARS trials that here was a win- 
ner. It may well prove to be the 
greatest red exhibition Rose of all 
time. In the first place the plant 
is so strong, sturdy and healthy, 
with an abundance of dark green, 
semi-glossy foliage. In color it is 
unmatched by any other red Rose, 
a vivid, rich crimson whose true 
beauty and texture cannot be re- 
produced on paper. The long 
tapering buds open to large, high- 
centered flowers 414 to 5 inches 
across with 40 to 50 velvety petals 
and very fragrant. If you do not 
want to plant this fall, you can 
reserve your order for next 
spring’s shipment.
