FRED HOWARD 
(Pat. No. 1006) This is a brand new rose this year, and one well worth your atten- 
tion. It has been awarded the top honors in the All-America Selections. The plants 
are husky and healthy in the best modern style, with disease resistant foliage and 
good growing habits. The flowers are of excellent size and form, cnd as you can 
see by the illustration above, they combine ihat attractive pink petal-edge so 
much admired in Peace rose, with a much stronger and brighter yellow. The 
yellow of Fred Howard is an all-season proposition, giving you fine color even 
in hot weather. You'll particularly like the habit of steady blooming rather than 
irregular spurts. Each $2.75
