Si Fred Ftoward 
(Plant Patent No. 1006) 
The most rugged Rose ever introduced to 
commerce, was awarded the Oscar for a 
championship performance in 1952. 
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- 
empified 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. 
The All-America Award Winner for 1952, 
Fred Howard 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.
