DECANSO PLANT FOOD 
Our friends have found that the Descanso Plant Food we brought to 
them for ihe first time last year has made fertilizing both easier and 
more effective than ever before in their gardens. The unique feature 
of foliage feeding along with root feeding has attracted many people. 
We think, too, that the sprinkling-can technique has encouraged more 
frequent feeding in less massive doses, and resulted in better plants 
and flowers. See opposite page 13 for details and prices for this 
easy-to-use, highly concentrated fertilizer.

CARROUSEL 
(Pat. 1066) We liked Carrousel when we first saw it, and recom- 
mended it strongly to our friends when it was introduced last year. 
The really remarkable enthusiasm with which it has been. received 
in every garden it has entered leads us to call it especially to your 
attention again. This fine rose is, strictly speaking, a floribunda, but 
it has such large, 3 to 4 inch blooms and such wonderful form to the 
flowers that we list it among the hybrid teas. The color is a non- 
fading, dark red which never blues, even in the hottest weather. The 
petals drop cleanly from old flowers. The plants are bushy, vigorous, 
and free of mildew. It's just a very fine rose, with clusters of flowers 
, all season long—good for specimen plants or for hedge-type plant- 
jing. Try it! 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.25 
GOLDEN SCEPTRE 
(Pat. 910) According to Dr. Lammerts this: is the best yellow rose of 
all time, combining a vivid, golden yellow color with an urn-shaped 
bud. A good vigorous plant with lovely glossy foliage, too. 
$2.50 each; 3 for $6.60 
SHOW GIRL 
(Pat. 646) Bred by Dr. Lammerts and introduced in 1944, Show Girl 
has acquired world-wide honors. Long, almost carmine-colored buds 
open to a heavy-textured, elusively fragrant flower of rapturous pink. 
One of the distinctive characteristics of this variety is the fact that 
these lovely buds are among the very largest of all roses, and yet 
they are perfect in form and hold well when cut. Canes are large 
and sturdy and satisfyingly productive. $1.75 each; 3 for $4.65 
MISSION BELLS 
@ (Pat. 923) Large, tapering, fiery salmon buds open to perfect 
blooms of clear salmon-pink, strongly on the salmon side. Won- 
derful tea-rose fragrance, long stems for cutting and beautiful, heavily 
branched bushes combined with the unique color made this rose an 
All-America award winner for two successive years in 1950 and 1951. 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00
