All-America Award Winner 
for 1952, 
Fred Howard 
Fred Howard 
(Plant Patent No. 1006) 
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- 
emplified in the lustrous green foliage and the long flower stems, strong and re- 
silient, bearing lovely fifty-petaled yellow Roses, with all buds and flower 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 
burnished 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. 
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 ex- 
cellent 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. Each $2.50, Three $6.60, Doz. $26.40

A Rare New Rose 
(Plant Patent No. 1047) 
A rare combination of delicacy and sturdiness 
is the Rose ‘Hedda Hopper.’’ The delicate pink 4 
of the flowers in all stages of opening is unusual 
in itself but together with such a sweet perfume - 
it is rare indeed. The buds of ‘’Hedda Hopper’ 
slowly open to a full centered, well formed, long 4 
lasting flower. Undulations of the petals add a 
unique feature, while the characteristic of retain- 
ing its form until the petals drop will continually 
amaze the proud growers of this new Rose. 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00
