LISSY HORSTMANN. 2 - 3 feet. 
A Mathias Tantau (German) creation introduced by Conard-Pyle, with 
Hadley in its parentage. This rates among the most brilliant scarlet-crim- 
son roses we have ever seen—large, cupped, very double, heavily per- 
fumed, on long strong stems. Will make any and all the latest reds look to 
their laurels. If you don’t like Lissy, “double your money back.” 
“Speaking of heat, I want to add a hearty “yea and amen’ to the astute Mr. T’s 
evaluation of Lissy Horstmann. While most of my roses, especially the reds, cooked 
to a crisp at 104 degrees, Lissy took the full all-day sun in stride with every petal 
smartly curled and completely unblemished.”—Hortense Wild.

LOWELL THOMAS. Patent 595. ARS 73%. Medium. 
An All-American winner, also the Portland Gold Medal in 1944—name- 
sake of the famous radio reporter, who keeps the hermits of Brown Valley 
abreast of the times. ‘The aristocrat of the clear-yellow roses.’ Needs no 
added verbiage from the C. W. 2.00 
LUCIE MARIE. 3-- 4 feet: 
Lush, lustrous, lusty and luxuriant! And a lot more varied adjectives might 
be used to describe this Irish beauty, and her delightful shades and over- 
lays of yellow, apricot and cerise. Another you are not likely to find else- 
where, which we think much too beautiful to forget. Bits, 
LUCIA ZULOAGA. (Loo-see-uh Soo-loh-ch-gah), 2 - 3 feet. 
Gentle reader has discovered long since, we cannot resist any rese with 
unusual coloring, nor can we restrain our enthusiasm (as no doubt we 
should) when we describe them. For to us these are the varieties which 
make your rose garden distinctive from your neighbors, and without 
which you have merely a collection of roses. Lucia is not a many-petalled 
rose, but the petals are large and gracefully borne,—color ‘velvety brown- 
ish-scarlet, with a golden under-tene.” Foliage, ‘‘shining, sleek and olive- 
green.” 
Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? It is! 3 for 4.65 each 175 
MAGIC CARPET. Brownell Creeper or Climber. 15 - 20 feet. 
This is outstanding among the many fine Brownell creations. “I could 
recognize this rose anywhere by its distinctive foliage—as shiny and similarly shaped 
as the leaves of English holly,”—says Hon. Secretary. The blooms are excep- 
tionally firre form and delicately colored—about 3% inches, very double, — 
a warm pink-gcld heart fading to pastel shades at the edges. Abundant 
late Spring bloom, not repeating,—but Magic Carpet stays green and 
glossy all summer. 3:for 4:50 each W775 
MARK SULLIVAN. Patent 599. ARS 73%. Medium. 
Some roses, like some people, have a happy faculty of enriching them- 
selves in our affections, until they become an integral part of our lives and 
gardens. Such is old friend, Mark Sullivan, whose gay variety of yellow 
and rose-red flowers,—never two the same—have given me so much 
pleasure back over the years. Color of course, is more intense in the cooler 
districts or protected by part shade. 
Has everything that could be desired in health, vigor and generous 
giving. 1.75
