CHOICE ROSES 
The rose hybridizers are doing an outstanding job of producing new 
varieties of roses. Not only are they breeding for beauty in color and form 
of flowers, but for sturdiness in plants and resistance to disease. Quality of 
stock varies considerably. Since it has been our experience that Northern 
grown plants give the best results in the Northeastern states, we offer only 
2 year No. 1 grade Northern grown stock. 
The following list contains outstanding representatives of the hundreds 
of varieties available today. 
PEACE. (Patent No. 591)—One of the most sen- 
sational roses ever to have been developed. The 
large yellow buds are picoted with warm pink 
and open to glorious 5 inch blooms of creamy 
white sculptured petals with edges of pink 
which deepen as the bloom matures. The very 
high pointed center is a tawny yellow. The 
large plants with their shiny, disease resistant 
foliage make attractive shrubs even when not 
in bloom. Each $2.50; 3 for $6.50 postpaid.
