Heart’s Desire 
The outstanding features of this All-America Winner for 1942 are 
(Br exquisite long-pointed buds of bright luminous red without other 
A\RS shadings and a superb fragrance. A few blooms will perfume an 
entire room. The plant with its light green foliage is rather willowy 
in habit, so there is an occasional weak neck. But who can resist a shining red 
tose with a wealth of heavy perfume—especially one which lasts as well as 
this does when cut. Plant Pat. No. 501. $1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.55 each. 
New Yorker 
The vigorous tall-growing bush will produce a continuous succession of huge, 
high-centered flowers of clear dazzling red. Delightfully fragrant and long 
lasting with big heavy-textured petals—it is a red, red rose which stays red 
until the last petal falls. Plant Pat. No. 823. 
$2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.75 each.

: For depth and clarity of color and its ability to do 
(BQ well in all areas, hot weather or cool, this All-Amer- 
AA\RS ica Winner for 1944 is considered to be one of the 
best yellow roses. The plant is robust and tall-grow- 
ing and is continually bursting with long, tightly furled buds 
of clean canary-yellow which open slowly into large glowing 
flowers on long, leafy stems. Plant Pat. No. 595. 
$2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.75 each. 
Blooming Roses in Containers 
During the late spring, summer, and fall, many of these va- 
rieties may be had growing and blooming in spacious 5-gallon 
containers at prices somewhat increased over the prices for 
bare root plants listed in this catalog. The plants in 5-gallon 
containers are available only in our six Southern California 
salesyards. They are too heavy and bulky for shipping.
