Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
(Award All-America Selections, 1945.) The first place winner of the 
All-America Rose Competition for 1945. A gorgeous, fragrant, red 
Rose that takes its place with the finest red Roses of the world. The 
bia, ovoid buds, cften long-pointed, are deep, rich dark red with black 
shadings, opening to a gorgeous chrysanthemum-red. The flower dis- 
plays new becuties of form as the petals unfold and eventually becomes 
a large full bloom, with excellent lasting qualities. Mirandy has a 
wonderful, penetrating, Damask fragrance which many will say is the 
finest Rose fragrance they have ever inhaled. The plant is strong, free 
branching, with heavy stout stems, and keeps producing its glorious 
flowers freely all season against a background of dark green, heavy 
textured foliage.

) 
Each $2.25, Three $6.00, Doz. $24.00 
(Winner All-America Rose Selections, 1950.) Mission Bells is a deep, 
glowing salmon opening to a brilliant clear shrimp-pink. The flowers 
are full centered and when fully open measure as much as 51/2 inches 
across. It is unusually vigorous and free branching, producing flowers 
in abundance. This variety will do well for all Rose growers and surely 
deserves the award it was given.

Nocturne (U. S. Plant Patent No. 713) 
Each $2.00, Phree $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
All-America Selection for 1946. This new red Rose has one of the 
longest, most perfect, streamlined buds displayed by any Rose in its 
color. The color is bright cardinal-red with dark, deep intriguing shad- 
ings of chrysanthemum-crimson. The large petals have good substance, 
are richly textured, and there are plenty of them so that the flowers 
last a long time. In hot weather the color becomes somewhat lighter. 
The blooms of NOCTURNE are pleasantly fragrant although not ap- 
proaching Mirandy in this respect. The stems are long, the foliage 
large, abundant, and semi-glossy. The plant displays plenty of vigor 
and quickly grows into a big sturdy bush in the garden. Reports from 
the official All-America test gardens throughout the country were uni- 
formly good, and other test plantings have aroused much enthusiasm.
