(Plant Patent No. 1028) 
All-America Award Winner for 1952 
The color is distinctive—clear pastel 
tones of pink to apricot, even ap- 
proaching orange at times. It has an 
unusually long, graceful bud, a very 
large open flower with good form, fine 
substance and a pleasing fragrance. 
The plant has proven to be exceeding- 
ly vigorous with us. One of those easy 
to grow kinds which grades up with- 
out any trouble.

The All-America Award Winner for 1952,

Fred Sto ward 
(Plant Patent No. 1006) 
The great All-America Rose Selection 
Derby for the race of 1952 is over. Fred 
Yoward, a glorious new yellow and one of 
the most rugged Roses ever introduced to 
commerce, as been awarded the Oscar for 
a championship performance. 
The blood and breeding that makes 
champions is well depicted in the large, 
vigorous plants that attain a height of 
from 3 to 4 feet. This attribute is also ex- 
emplified in the lustrous green foliage and 
the long flower stems, strong and resilient, 
bearing lovely fifty-petaled yellow Roses, 
with all buds and flowers heads up. 
During the latter months of the year 
there is a very noticeable transition in the 
color of the Fred Howard Rose. The yellow 
is washed with a lovely overtone of burn- 
ished gold and copper. At times the high- 
centered flowers show a suffusion of rosy 
mauve, and when this transition takes place 
the Rose Fred Howard is at its zenith—a 
perfect harmony of color, showing all the 
lovely autumn tints of fall. 
The Fred Howard Rose has a distinct 
scent or fragrance that can be likened to 
the Marechal Niel or the old Tea Roses 
that were so loved many years ago. 
Above all, the 1952 champion Rose is 
unstinting with flowers. Immediately after 
one crop of Roses is over, another takes its 
place. If it could be presupposed that you 
will grow Fred Howard for cut flowers, then 
you have really made an excellent choice. 
Under the most rigid tests Fred Howard has 
proven itself lasting, in fine form after 
many other varieties cut at the same time 
have dropped their petals and gone.
