BUCCANEER 
MOJAVE (Swim) 
@) (P.A.F.) Illustrated on the front cover, this is the 
ANRS he zs 
winning All-America Rose Selections variety for 
1954. Pronounced Mo-hah'-vee, this new beauty glows 
with all the fire of the Mojave Desert sun from which it 
gets its name. The general effect of the bloom is a bril- 
iant orange, but close examination reveals shades of 
salmon and apricot as well. In cool weather the color 
is of even greater intensity, with the salmon tones be- 
coming almost red. One of the parents of this rose is 
Charlotte Armstrong, which speaks well for its reliability. 
Plants are vigorous, with glossy foliage, and flowers are 
porne for the most part singly on long stems. If you are 
ooking for something brand new and really different, 
this is your rose. $3.00 each; 3 for $7.95 
BUCCANEER (Swim) 
(Pat. 1119) You'll like this rose for the two main reasons 
we do—it holds its color well, which is an admirable 
quality in a yellow rose, and it grows to a really astonish- 
ing height. Established plants reach 5 to 6 feet without 
difficulty, so put this one at the back of your rose bed. 
The color is pure and dazzling buttercup yellow. Mildly 
fragrant and a steady bloomer. $2.75 each; 3 for $7.20 
CHRYSLER IMPERIAL (Lammerts) 
@ (Pat. 1167) All-America Rose Selections winner for 
ASS* 1953. The fragrant flowers are from 42 to 5 inches 
across when fully open, and are borne singly on sturdy, 
long stems, ideal for cutting. The buds are a joy to be- 
hold, open'!ng very slowly but never failing to open, and 
revealing new depths of rich crimson red color as each 
petal unfurls. Heavy, dark green foliage borne well to 
the base of the plant, combined with compact, well- 
balanced bushes make it a handsome garden shrub. 
$2.75 each; 3 for $7.20
