“Chief Seattle 
Chief Seattle 
In cooler areas or during the fall, the flowers are a rich buff-apricot 
shading to old gold. In warmer areas, the spring flowers will usually 
be lighter in color. Regardless of the weather, the buds and flowers are 
usually perfect in form and marvelous for cutting. Chief Seattle is 
extremely vigorous and the tall-growing heavy canes are entirely cov- 
ered with luxuriant olive green foliage. Originated by H. C. Swim at 
the Armstrong Nurseries. Plant Pat. No. 1030. 
$2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each.

Mirandy 
Top All-America Winner for 1945. The big ovoid buds of 
deep red display new beauties of form with each successive 
AA\RS stage as they unfold the 50 or so graceful petals eventually 
becoming a huge full bloom of dark glowing red with the 
most delicious full-bodied fragrance you have ever inhaled. In cool 
foggy weather the flowers do not always open perfectly, but when the 
weather is warm, they are unbeatable. The plant is medium in height, 
vigorous and free-branching. Originated in the Armstrong Research 
Department. Plant Pat. No. 632. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
Tallyho 
Here is a color pleasingly different. Inside, the petals are a 
(@r delightful shade of pink or old rose, while on the reverse 
AA\RS side they are brilliant crimson! The tall, robust plant has 
proved quite hardy, even in areas like Minnesota. Each beau- 
tiful ovoid bud opens to a magnificent, large, high-centered, fully dou- 
ble flower of exquisite shape, having a spicy, full-bodied fragrance. 
Originated at the Armstrong Nurseries by H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. 
No. 828. $2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.75 each. 
Taffeta 
Every change in the weather will bring delightful new com- 
binations of pink, carmine, and even orange. The buds are 
perfect, as are the open flowers with their delicately frilled 
petals and pronounced fragrance. A big, vigorous upright 
plant, it displays new growth of an attractive mahogany-red color, 
which changes to glossy dark green. It blooms freely everywhere. 
1948 AARS Winner. Plant Pat. No. 716. 
$2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.75 each. 
Bravo 
We have never seen a rose display more brilliance than this sparkling 
cardinal red, nor have we seen one which holds color as it does—even 
when the sun is burning hot. Don’t expect a great big plant the first 
year and don’t look for a lot of fragrance. But you’ll exclaim “Bravo” 
when the plump buds open to big broad flowers with wavy petals, 
perfectly arranged, and with every flower glowing like a burning ember. 
Plant Pat. No. 983. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
Fandango 
For brilliant eye-catching color and for profusion of bloom, Fandango 
is in a class by itself. The attractive buds, deep scarlet in color, open to 
lovely wavy petaled blooms which are an unbelievably gay and bright 
Chinese red. The big, tall, vigorous plant is nearly always covered 
with a brilliant show of bloom before other kinds start and after they 
stop, too. Plant Pat. No. 894. $2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.75 each.
