FORTY NINER 
One of the AARS winners for 1949, and probably one of the most 
brilliant bi-colored roses ever produced. Inside petals are vivid orient 
red, outside petals chrome yellow changing to straw yellow as blooms 
open. The perfectly formed buds open to well shaped flowers of large 
size. Long straight stems on a vigorous upright plant. Mildly fragrant.

HELEN TRAUBEL 
A light sparkling pink, and at times a rich luminous apricot, depend- 
ing on the season and weather. Its long and unusually large buds are 
magnificent and are borne in great profusion on a big vigorous bush 
that will be among the largest in your garden. We believe Helen 
Traubel will be one of the finest pink roses of all time. One of the

KATHERINE T. MARSHALL

nificent buds and blooms are big and heavy textured. The biggest and 
most luxuriant foliage to be found among the newer roses, and an 
exceptionally robust plant. A rich fragrance. An All America Award 
winner of 1944. Pat. No. 607. $1.75 each; 3 for $4.65. 
LOWELL THOMAS 
The long tightly furled buds of rich yellow open into a large graceful 
flower of a uniform light yellow. One of the best cutting roses and the 
big robust plant flowers incessantly. Does equally well in hot or cool 
weather. A.A.R.S. award winner and one of the best newer yellow 
rosesmbat sNOwo 90m >2.UULeachs > fOr 95.25.

The first place award winner of ‘All America Rose Selections” for 
1945. We have had this new introduction in our test gardens for sev- 
eral years and recommend it without reservation. The large, long- 
pointed, ovid buds are a deep rich dark red with black shadings, open- 
ing to a huge 50 petaled flower. The gorgeous blooms are long lasting,
