MOJAVE. Patent 1176. Medium. (Mo-hah-vay.) 
Parent Charlotte Armstrong has done it again—the only hybrid tea All- 
America Award Winner for 1954! So I can dispense with mention of its 
obvious virtues in plant and bloom habit, and concentrate on the unique 
color. 
I quote the originator—"radiant orange, highlighted by flame-like tones of 
scarlet and vermilion.’ John Armstrong, Jr., in an excellent article on cata- 
loging roses, for the A.R.S. magazine, made this comment—"It must be 
remembered that all varieties are described at their best and every rose has its 
moments of greatness.” 
Well, those glowing color illustrations certainly will get you! Being 
half Scotch I seldom jump off "the deep end” until I am sure of the depth 
of the water. 3 for 8.00 each 3.00 
MRS. MINIVER. Patent 725. ARS 70%. Medium. 
Hunting for adjectives to express our special liking for the beauteous 
Miniver, we select “blazing and dazzling red” .. . the petals “wave like the 
roof of a Chinese Pagoda.” The whole effect is full of grace and brilliance, 
unexcelled, in our humble opinion, by any other red rose. 
After the many misfortunes and vicissitudes which beset the life of a 
rose-grower, at long last, we should have enough Mrs. Miniver in 1954 
and again in 1955 to fill our accumulation of orders and gratify new 
admirers. 
We were honored this summer by a visit from the ‘real’ Mrs. Miniver 
(Greer Garson.) She has a green thumb and... everything!

CLIMBING MRS. PIERRE S. DUPONT. Cli. H. T. 15 - 20 feet. 
Frequently we are asked why we do not grow such fine old hybrid teas 
as Etoile de Hollande, Eclipse, Pres. Hoover and many of equal value. 
Alas our experience has been sorely against it for, willy-nilly, we have 
gained a reputation as being the place to get the rare and unusual, and 
apparently you do not look to us for the run-o’-the-mill sorts. 
The beautiful golden climber, Mrs. P. S. Dupont, is not “common” in 
any sense, but its fine virtues have made it a standard variety for most 
catalegs since 1933. One of the most profuse yellow climbers—not hardy 
in severe climates. Sor, 4/00, each 1/5 
NARZISSE. ARS 73%. 3-4 feet. 
A handsome, maize-yellow rose, of great substance, on extremely long 
stems, at its best in the warmer districts, where the large, double, beauti- 
fully formed blooms open to greatest perfection. We withdrew our state- 
ment that ‘this is for the experienced gardener only,’ having seen it 
growing under varied conditions—far from “expert.” And if we had 
Rose Shows to conquer, believe Narzisse would be our entry. Certainly 
an exhibition rose! 3 for 4.00 each 1.50
