Beauty, color, fragrance. . . all these features are essential 
in a Rose as distinctive as Pageant, but just as important is its 
hardiness. . . its ability to live and bloom. Here again Pageant

ing luxuriantly even under the most difficult conditions. It 
blooms in all its glory even in the hottest weather and produces 
glorious Roses from early June right up until frost! And, in all 
our testing stations throughout America, we have heard noth- 
ing but praise for this new Hybrid Tea. . . and there’s every 
indication that Pageant will become one of the most popular, 
most prized of all Roses! So if you want a brand-new Rose in 
your garden next spring—a Rose unlike any you've ever had 
before—be sure to plant new Pageant this fall! (Pl. Pat. App. © 3.8 P.co.
