Mary Margaret McBride (Plant Patent No. 537) 
Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
(Award All-America Rose Selections, 1942.) A tall, healthy growing 
plant which blooms quite freely and has all the qualifications of a 
fine Rose. The attractive, shapely salmon-pink buds open to 5-inch, 
loose flowers of a delightful shade of salmon-pink. They have about 
35 petals. The blooms are mildly fragrant. 
McGredy’s Ivory Each $1.35, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.50 
Lovely large flowers of beautiful double form and moderately fra- 
grant. The color is soft delicate creamy white: merging into yellow at 
the base. Vigorous, disease resistant, and a prolific bloomer. 
Mirandy (Plant Patent No. 632) Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
(Award All-America Selections, 1945.) The first place winner of the All- 
America Rose Competition for 1945. A gorgeous, fragrant, red Rose that takes 
its place with the finest red Roses of the world. The big, ovoid buds, often 
long-pointed, are deep, rich dark red with black shadings, opening to a gor- 
geous chrysanthemum-red. The. flower displays new beauties of form as the 
petals unfold and eventually becomes a large full bloom, with excellent lasting 
qualities. Mirandy has a wonderful, penetrating, damask fragrance which many 
will say is the finest Rose fragrance they have ever inhaled. 
Mission Bells (Patent Applied For) Each $2.25, Three $6.00, Doz. $24.00 
(Winner All-America Rose Selections, 1950.) Mission Bells is a deep, glowing 
salmon opening to a brilliant clear shrimp-pink. The flowers are full centered 
and when fully open measure as much as 51/ inches across. It is unusually 
vigorous and free branching, producing flowers in abundance. This variety will 
do well for all Rose growers and surely deserves the award it was given. 
Miss Rowena Thom Each $1.35, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.50 
Enormous buds and blooms of fiery rose and mauve, shaded with old gold at 
the center, borne on long, strong stems. A profuse, continuous bloomer and a 
very vigorous plant. 
Mme. Chiang Kai-shek (pjant Patent No. 664.) 
Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
(Award All-America Rose Selections, 1943.) Perfectly chiseled petals clasped 
in long, spiral buds unfurl slowly, culminating in limpid, light clear canary- 
yellow flowers of perfect proportions. The rich Rose perfume of this premier 
yellow Rose is a fragrance retrieved from the past, recalling the fragrance that 
hung over China Tea Roses in old and forgotten gardens of long, long ago. 
Mme. Jules Bouche Each $1.35, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.50 
While not a pure white, it is to all intents white and without question the 
best white everblooming bedding Rose yet introduced. The flowers are large, 
quite double and of splendid form. It is fragrant, a vigorous grower and very 
free flowering. 
New Yorker (Plant Patent Nc. 823) Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
The perfectly formed, high-centered blooms are scarlet with rose-red under- 
tones and each petal is overlaid with a rich sheen of velvet. Plants bloom 
heavily in June on luxurious, vigorous, 3-foot plants with a breath-taking suc- 
cession of flowers from then until cold weather. 
Nocturne (Plant Patent No. 713) 
Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
All-America Selection for 1946. This new red Rose has one of 
the longest, most perfect, streamlined buds displayed by any 
Rose in its color. The color is bright cardinal-red with dark, deep 
intriguing shadings of chrysanthemum-crimson. The large petals 
have good substance, are richly textured, and there are plenty 
of them so that the flower lasts a long time. In hot weather 
the color becomes somewhat lighter. The blooms of NOCTURNE 
are pleasantly fragrant, although not approaching Mirandy in 
this respect. The stems are long, the foliage large, abundant, 
and semi-glossy. The plant displays plenty of vigor and quickly 
grows into a big sturdy bush in the garden.
