Chrysler Imperial, Patent No. 1167. (Retails $2.75 each; 
3 or more $2.40 each.) In color, CHRYSLER IM- 
PERIAL is unmatched by any other red rose. Its 
vivid, rich tones of crimson are enhanced by darker 
overtones of glowing oxblood red, and the gem-like 
lustre of garnet in the folds retains its sparkling 
beauty. Long, tapering buds unfold even in adverse 
weather, opening to large, high centered flowers 
measuring 4% to 5 inches with 40 to 50 wide petals. 
These are borne on sturdy, medium long stems. The 
opening of each glorious rose is a thrilling spectacle 
of changing, irridescent shades of red. In growth, 
CHRYSLER IMPERIAL ROSE is compact and sym- 
metrical. Its abundant, dark green, semi-glossy foliage 
gives the bush the appearance of a handsome garden 
shrub. A.A.R.S. award for 1953.

more $2.20 each.) Brilliantly hued bi-color that just-

ing colors are startling in their brilliance, and yet they 
blend together beautifully. Inside of petals is a vivid 
Orient-Red, while the outside is a Chrome-Yellow, 
changing to Straw-Yellow. Colors are lasting and 
bright. The long bud opens to a well shaped bloom 
of 25 to 40 petals. Mildly fragrant.
