CLIMBING PINKIE—Btoom-Lavisy! 
Pilar Landecho. (Meilland.) ARS 70%—Av. Ht. 41”. Hybridist Herb 
Swin once dropped a remark which awakened our interest—*‘That Pilar Landecho 
is an unusually beautiful rose,’’ upon which we set forth to find one . . . no easy 
task, as this variety has not had the fanfare and ‘‘million-dollar advertising’’ 
which some new roses enjoy. Well—we came, we saw and were conquered .. . 
And here it is—a rarity of great beauty in cadmium-yellow and dark coral shades 
—a connoisseur’s rose. 
‘You may have your Condesas, Hoovers and Talismans—make ours Pilar Landecho!”’

Pinkie, Climbing. P.A.F That very popular dwarf polyantha, which 
excited the rose world in 1947, has ‘‘grown up.’’ Climbing Pinkie makes its 
expensive debut in 1952. From all indications in our field, the climber has re- 
tained the lavish bloom quality of the bush, beginning at the base and extending 
upward in a great mass of beautifully formed, soft-pink, dainty flowers. You 
need not wait for a national rating on an Armstrong creation; they are long 
tested and screened by experts,—they have to be good! With these strong sup- 
porting words we now state the price . . . courageously 2.75 
Pink Lady. An unusually pretty, urn shaped, curling pink bud opens with 
special grace and retains its delicacy throughout the life of the flower. It has 
become a special favorite of Mrs. Lester, who watches its comings and goings 
with alternate joy and sorrow. 1.50 
Pink Princess. Patent 459. ARS 81%. One of the top Brownell Hybrid 
Teas, with a fine heritage from the hardy and profuse Dr. W. Van Fleet, General 
Jacqueminot and Break o’ Day. Our plants show great vigor and the big, very 
double blooms of lush rose-pink come steadily all season on long stems. This 
rose has survived 25 below zero and came up smiling. Will Arctic customers take 
special note. 
Field Notes, 1951,—Among the best of the modern pinks. As the flower ages, 
the petals acquire a China-Rose or mauve tone of rare, satiny beauty. 1.75
