We are pleased that this fine old favorite is given a 79% national ~ 
rating. Good anywhere, but has just the right petallage to open properly 
in the cooler and coastal sections. Color is a distinctive two-tone, inside 
delicate salmon-pink, outside very live, glowing carmine. Tall-growing, 
healthy and vigorous. 
St. Clair Garwood, Ohio, will champion Betty from this pcint—"I would 
like to give a pat on the back to an unsung heroine of rosedom ... For those who 
are having trouble raising hybrid teas, let them turn to the lovely salmon-splashed, 
dream-pink, Betty Uprichard—a fool-proof, iron-hardy rose—an “All-America” 
before there were any All-Americas!” 1.50 
BLANCHE MALLERIN. Patent 594. ARS 68%. 3-3% feet. 
A satiny-white exhibition rose with blue ribbon qualities. High-centered, 
long pointed, handsomely formed. There is a cool, classic beauty in a 
fine white rose, unequalled by any other flower. Some say Blanche 
Mallerin is the best white ... certainly as we watched her through the 
summer, she was not surpassed. 3 for 5.25 each 2.00 
BLAZE? = Climbing.!)\ARS*78%12 10 415 feet 
Blaze is a cross between the ever-popular Paul’s Scarlet and the lavish 
flowering Gruss an Teplitz. Much has been said for and against it... 
and many claims of superior strains, etc., are made. But in the final 
analysis, the ARS rating of 78% is the ‘best evidence.” Blooms in vivid 
scarlet clusters, and positively is recurrent, whereas Paul's Scarlet is 
not. 1.50 
BOUDOIR. ARS 63%. Medium. 
To us, much like Contrast in its high-centered form and unique two-tone 
combination of Tyrian rose, reverse white. But the plant is better foliaged, 
taller and produces much superior cutting stems. We think these two- 
toned roses add a welcome variety in the garden to the solid reds, pinks 
and yellows. L735 
BUCCANEER. Patent 1119. ARS 84%. Tall. 
The Geneva Gold-medal Winner of 1952. These Herb Swim roses get 
around! A very tall grower for a hybrid tea, and should not be planted 
with the midgets . . . might associate even with the hybrid perpetuals. 
‘The brightest, yellowest rose with the most lasting color you have ever 
seen.” Now please don't argue with the catalog-writer—he’s just quoting. 
It takes a mighty gcod rose to win at Geneva, or to get an ARS rating of 
84%. 3 for 7.25 .eaewZ.75 
BUTTERSCOTCH. Patent 613. ARS 72%. Tall. 
I shall abandon the originator’s color description—"zinc-orange, blotched 
jasper-red,”’ in favor of “rich soft buff with creamy-apricot undertones” 
for which we have been indebted, in former catalogs, to Mrs. Dorset of 
Norman, Oklahoma. Produces a fine long bud, which opens big and 
double on long cutting stems. Another tall grower for background planting, 
in a handsome unusual color. 3 for 4.00 each 1.50
