HELEN TRAUBEL—"'A DistTincTIVE anpD Lovey New Rose’’ 
Heart's Desire. (Climbing.) Patent 663. ARS 68%—Av. Growth 11’. We 
are retaining this large double and heavily perfumed cherry-red rose, in climbing 
form, where its tendency to ‘‘bend its neck’’ is an asset, as with most climbing 
roses. Certainly one of the healthiest and most profuse reds in existence, and 
All-America winner in 1942. ATS 
Beiacien [raubel: P.A.F. This 1952 All-America with the Arm- 
strong trade-mark, bids fair to being the rose for 1952. As the Armstrong organi- 
zation has been testing Helen Traubel for several seasons, we think their own 
words are the best description,—"'A distinctive and lovely new rose, named after one 
of America’s foremost singing stars. The color varies from sparkling pink to luminous apri- 
cot, but always with a bright rich undertone. The buds are large and long, but the lovely 
color is displayed most lavishly in the magnificent open flowers . . . every flower ts loaded 
with an intoxicating fragrance. A very free-blooming plant, it will become one of the largest 
in your garden.’’ When a Scot asks rhis price for a rose—you can be sure he knows 
it's good! 3 for 7.50 each 2.775 
High Noon. Patent 704. ARS 76%—Av. Growth 10’. Liked by us on 
first inspection and grows steadily in our affections . . . essentially a pilar rose, 
6-8 ft., not a rampant climber, devoting its energies to blooming instead of grow- 
ing wood. Never a sign of mildew or rust. Blooms profusely and constantly, and 
the brilliant clear yellow double blooms ‘‘sing of sunshine.’’ Splendid for cut- 
ting. Not winter-hardy in sub-zero temperatures. 3 for 5225 each 2.00 
Hortulanus Budde. H. Tea. (1919.) One of those big, lush, deep fiery- 
red roses, with rare fragrance, far too good to be elbowed out of most rose cata- 
_ logues, by less worthy newcomers. And besides, a name like that, has the right 
to survive! 1/5
