FOR THE SOUTHLA 
FRED HOWARD 
& (Pat. 1006) The top award winner in ihs 
All-America trials for 1952, this fine rose 
continues to gain new friends each season. 
Everyone admires the big, vigorous plants with 
their wonderful foliage, the very long stems, 
otal lack of clustered blooms, and the incredi 
ble length of time each flower holds in perfect 
condition. It has long, rich yellow buds tipped 
with delicate light pink, opening into full 
double, high centered, beautifully formed flow- 
ers. Non-fading and distinctly different from 
Peace. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.60 
REX ANDERSON 
(Pat. 335) Perfectly formed, slow-opening, pure 
ivory-white blooms make this fine rose a leade: 
among the whites. Plants are disease resistant 
2 to 2Y2 ft. tall. $1.75 each; 3 for $4.65 
TAWNY GOLD 
(Pat. 950) Long-lasting both on the plant and as 
a cut flower, this tawny gold colored rose has 
gracefully frilled petal edges and above all a 
rich, fruity fragrance. The perfume from just 
two or three flowers will fill an entire room. j 
Plants grow 2 to 2% ft. tall. & 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00 
FORTY-NINER 
@) (Pat. 792) By far the most startling of all the bi-colors. Inside of petals 
is a very pronounced oriental red, outside chrome to straw yellow, 
forming a startling contrast. Plant is tall and upright, branching moderate 
with straight, sturdy stems and very few thorns. Mildly fragrant. 
$2.50 each; 3 for $6.60 
CONFIDENCE 
(Pat. 1192) A tremendous new rose bred by the same French specialist, 
Meillond, who created Peace. The buds are actually 2’ to 3 inches long, 
and the flower unfolds to a full 6 inches across. The coloring is superb, with 
the general effect a peach-toned pastel blend, most intricately contrived 
by the gradual melting of colors from the flash of yellow at the base of the 
petals th-ough all stages to cameo-pink at the petal edges. Plants are well- 
branched, upright, bushy. This rose has received unique honors in Frence, 
and you will not be wrong to give it a place of great prominence in your 
own garden. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.25
