The Newer EVERBLOOMING ROSES 
RED FAVORITES 
CHARLOTTE ARMSTRONG. The originators of this 
rose, calls it “Queen of Them All,” and well it may be. 
Winner of the sole 1941 AARS award. Its long, slender, 
cerise buds and magnificent open flowers make it very 
popular. Fine for cutting and a_consistent show winner. 
Pat. 455. $2.00 each. Illustrated inside front cover. 
CRIMSON GLORY. Always listed in any “10 Most 
Popular Roses in America” survey, Crimson Glory is a 
deep, vivid crimson flower that stands erect on vigorous 
bushes. It really has the fragrance and has been selected 
by the American Rose Society as one of the sweetest 
smelling of all roses. Pat. 105. $1.75 each. 
NEW! NEW! 
CHARLES MALLERIN. This new rose which 
we are offering for the first time this year, was 
originated in France by the man who brought us 
Peace. A gorgeous rose with blooms of midnight 
crimson velvet. Fairly double and the petals have 
that texture which we all desire in a rose—so 
velvety that it looks like real velvet. Oh yes, it 
also has the fragrance too. What more could you 
ask for? We know that it does not have a classy, 
ear-catching name as some other red roses, but 
that is not important in our book. You can talk 
about “The Best Red Rose of all Time,’ but we 
wouldn’t hesitate one bit to eat this whole catalog 
if you won’t agree with us that this is the finest 
red rose to date. Why it is marvelous. Pat. 933. 
$2.50 each. Illustrated inside front cover. 
(Note: The only red rose we know of that will 
hold a candle to Charles Mallerin is the fairly 
new English rose, Ena Harkness. Sorry that we 
didn’t have Ena Harkness to offer this year 
but look for it next year.) 
HAPPINESS. Another new rose from the originator 
of Peace. Very brilliant red petals that are firm and 
heavy with the outer petals curling to points in layer 
after layer about the very solid center. We only know 
it as a very popular greenhouse rose, but they say it is 
even better when planted in the garden. 3 ft. Pat. 911. 
$2.50 each. 
MIRANDY. Large double dark red that seems to do 
better in warm weather. Spicy fragrance. Pat. 632. 
$1.75 each. 
NEW YORKER. Illustrated inside back cover. Called 
by the originator as ‘““The Best Red Rose of all Time.” 
While we don’t exactly agree with him, New Yorker is 
worth a place in any garden—even two or three of them 
if you like an enormous red rose that stays red until the 
last petals wither and fall. 3 ft. Pat. 823. $2.00 each. 
NOCTURNE. Illustrated inside back cover. Bright 
cardinal-red with blackish shadings. Very nice form in 
the bud. Pat. 713. Does well with everybody. 3 ft. 
$1.75 each. 
TALLYHO. AARS winner for 1949. We used to list 
this as a pink rose, but the American Rose Society says 
it is red so we are listing it that way. Tallyho has a 
combination of all the virtues of a good rose. Tyrian 
Rose with a reverse of brilliant crimson. We like it very 
much. 2-3 ft. Pat. 828. $2.00 each.

YELLOW FAVORITES 
ECLIPSE. This rose, in our estimation, has the nicest 
buds of any rose. Long-pointed, deep yellow with a fairly 
large semi-double flower. 3 ft. Pat. 172. $1.75 each. 
PEACE. If you were to have one rose in your garden, 
we would say that this was it. A consistent prize-winner. 
Perhaps the chief beauty of this rose is the great range 
of colors through which it passes. The large ovoid shape 
bud emerges to a fully 5 inch bloom with shades of 
canary yellow, pale gold, cream, pearly white and apple 
blossom pink. The color also varies with the season. It 
seems that no two plants produce the same color of 
blooms—each one a little different. The very best of 
foliage on a very strong plant. Pat. 591. 3-4 ft. $2.50 
each. Illustrated inside back cover. 
SUTTER’S GOLD. This rose has won about every 
award, both on the Continent and U. S. Long pointed 
yellow buds which are richly shaded with orange and 
red. The open flower is golden yellow with a very rich 
fragrance. Foliage is excellent. Sometimes mistaken in 
the fading flower for Peace. We like this rose very much 
and recommend it. 3 ft. Pat. 885. $2.25 each. 
ELINOR LeGRICE. An exceptionally large golden 
yellow rose that gives unfailing blooms. Very unusual 
spicy fragrance that will really fill your home from one 
end to the other. Long stems that make ideal cutting. 
2% ft. Pat. 917. $2.00 each. 
LOWELL THOMAS. We still keep this rose as our 
favorite pure yellow that does not fade too much. It 
seems to do well in all parts of the country. The only 
complaint that we had is the weak plant but this can 
easily be remedied by a little Sunny Spokane Plant Food. 
Good stems that have excellent foliage. 2% ft. Pat. 
595. $2.00 each. 
GOLDEN SCEPTOR. (Only available in limited quan- 
tities.) This is a sparkling new golden yellow rose. We 
have never seen it in bloom and are only listing it for 
a few of our customers who have asked us to get it for 
them, 3 ft. -Pat.-910.. $2.50* each: 
NEW! NEW! 
FRED HOWARD. Illustrated on inside front 
cover. One of the three All-America Winners for 
1952. Originated in our own West this rose has 
that golden yellow color that we find in our own 
sunsets. Very double with about 50 petals. Very 
huge grower, sometimes to 5 ft. On some of the 
golden yellow flowers you will find a tip of pink. 
We like this rose when it is about half open. A 
very slight fragrance. With so many new roses 
introduced each year, the competition becomes 
keener for All-American selection. The jury is 
getting more discriminating in its awards. You 
can rest assured that any rose which receives this 
coveted honor will do well in your garden and 
we know that Fred Howard is no exception. 3-4 
ft. Pat. 1006. $2.75 each. 
CHIEF SEATTLE. Named in honor of the 
Indian Chief who founded*the city of Seattle 100 
years ago. Illustrated on inside back cover. Buff 
apricot in color, the petals are fluted or ruffled. 
Long straight stems with olive green foliage which 
makes it one of the finer roses for cutting. Also 
only one bud to a stem. It has very double flower 
of about 60 petals that only opens well for us 
during the hot weather, but when it does open 
perfectly you will have nothing to desire. 3-4 ft. 
Pat. 1030. $2.50 each.
