ADDITIONAL VARIETIES FOR SEASON 1953 
The following in our judgment, are the best of the latest creations, All-America 
Winners, and those of the old-type roses which we have tested and are now ready to 
offer in fair quantity. 
Many others of unusual beauty and interest will be ready for season 1954. By selection 
of the best from many choices, and discarding the least worthy, our collection already, 
has become beautiful and important. 
Bess Lovett. Large flowering climber. (1915). This handsome Van Fleet Climber moves up from our 
limited quantity ‘Collectors’ Items” into a position with our leaders. Produces over a long season, beautifully 
cup-formed, fragrant, large double flowers in a distinctive, light-red shade—-especially glossy dark foliage. 
VERY pretty in the growing fields this summer. Each 1.75 
Buccaneer H. T. P.A.F. We are fortunate in having a fair quantity of the new Armstrong rose for 
1953—“‘the brightest, yellowest rose with the most lasting color you have ever seen.” Tall-growing and 
extremely vigorous . . . with all the beauty and good health, typical of the Armstrong creations. Each 2.75 
Capt. Christy. H. Tea. (1873). Another variety, formerly listed in ‘Collectors’ Items” which, 
after three years observation moves up into commercial production. Very large, globular, fragrant blooms, 
in flesh pink, with darker centers . . . beautifully formed. Very free, recurrent bloom. Eighty years old 
and still unsurpassed for delicacy and charm. Each 1.75 
Catherine Mermet. Tea. (1869). Outstanding among our several Tea Roses, not only for the 
fine form and delicate flesh-pink coloring, but for the long, strong cutting stems and abounding good 
health of the plants. Remember these tea roses NEVER stop blooming. 3 for 4.50 Each 1.75 
Charles Mallerin H. T. Patent 933. I will risk an argument with anybody (except Roy Hennessey, 
of course) by stating that Charles Mallerin is my favorite among the modern red hybrid teas... I 
challenge anyone to come upon it unexpectedly, without a spontaneous exclamation! It is a typical man’s 
rose—the darkest of reds . . . as big as Peace, with more distinctive, velvety reflexed petals . . . a stem 
to delight a florist—a plant to please even ultra-critical Harris Darcy of Austin . . . a bouquet to make a 
lady happy . . . what more can you ask for 2.50. Each 2.50 
Chief Seattle. H. Tea. Patent 1030. The Armstrong introduction for 1952, and official rose 
for the City of Seattle’s Centennial Celebration. ‘You'll look long for more perfect flowers or a plant as 
fine” say the originators. Produces big, high-centered, many-petalled blooms of rich old-gold. Each 2.50 
Chrysler Imperial H.T. P.A.F. Dr. Walter Lammerts is once again in the lime-light for this AARS 
winner, 1953. Produces freely on a very luxuriant plant, large, exhibition-type blooms in very rich and 
changing shades of crimson red with darker overtones. Performs beautfully anywhere, coastal or inland, 
full sun or part shade. Due no doubt, to the Truman administration, the price, we whisper is a good 
round 3.00. Each 3.00
