Si Fred Ftoward 
, = yy as (Plant Patent No. 1006) 
oo : All-America Award Winner for 1952 
The most rugged Rose ever introduced to commerce. 
The blood and breeding that makes champions is well 
depicted in the large, vigorous plants that attain a height 
of from 3 to 4 feet. This attribute is also exemplified in 
the lustrous green foliage and the long flower stems, strong 
and resilient, bearing lovely fifty-petaled yellow Roses, 
with all buds and flowers heads up. 
During the latter months of the year there is a very 
noticeable transition in the color of the Fred Howard Rose. 
The yellow is washed with a lovely overtone of burnished 
gold and copper. At times the high-centered 
‘¢ — flowers show a suffusion of rosy mauve, and 
when this transition takes place the Rose Fred 
Howard is at its zenith—a perfect harmony of 
2 color, showing all the lovely autumn tints of fall. 
% : Above all, the 1952 champion Rose is un- 
XD : stinting with flowers. Immediately after one 
crop of Roses is over, another takes its place. 
Under the most rigid tests Fred Howard has 
proven itself lasting, in fine form after many 
other varieties cut at the same time have drop- 
ped their petals and gone. 
Each $2.50, Three $6.60, Doz. $26.40

Butterscotch 
(Plant Patent No. 613) 
Nothing like the color of Butterscotch has so far 
i been seen in Roses and very few Roses have as beau- 
| tifully shaped flowers. The length and grace of the 
flower petals of this new variety are outstanding. The 
outside of the handsome petals is a soft, pale orange- 
yellow; the inside lemon-chrome at the base, chang- 
ing to pale yellow-orange, penciled very lightly with 
orange-buff. The general color effect is a soft pastel 
capucine-buff. Visitors last year picked Butterscotch ’ . : 
| as one of the finest and most outstanding Roses in ‘ Butterscotch 
| our fields. This variety is an origination of the Hill : 
Greenhouses in Richmond, Indiana. We are sure you 
will find Butterscotch one of the choicest Roses you 
ever grew. 
Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60
