NELLIE..E. HILLOCK.. -Patent-185.. 3 -A feet, 
The honest, wholesome Nellie is another old friend who should ‘‘move 
over’ to make room for the newer creations, yet is far too good to be 
eliminated and besides, we were born and remain “loyal.’’ 
The big, 60 petalled, peony-like blooms are silvery-pink, reverse old- 
rose. While we will not quote again her experience at Ames, we are still 
proud that back in 1948, Nellie E. Hillock out-bloomed everything in the 
college test garden, including most of the All-America winners.

CLIMBING NELLIE FE) HILLOCK. "CU. Tl Sete 
Developed from the bush by Dr. Griffith J. Buck of Iowa State College. If 
you need a lovely climber which grows with abandon, yet remains 
beautiful and virtuous withal, try our Nell. 1.75 
NEW YORKER. Patent 823. ARS 79%. Medium. 
One of the newer reds which, after two seasons acquaintance, I must agree 
is outstanding—almost as brilliant as our favorite Mrs. Miniver, and quite 
different in form and petallage. A “living scarlet’’ which does not blue, 
in fact holds its color in any weather. 
“Hon. Secretary’’ bursts out with an emphatic and all-inclusive YES 
when New Yorker is mentioned. 3 for 5.25- edich a. 
NIGGER BOY. ARS 89%. Low. (Named in honor of the Australian 
bushman). 
Before writing my own views I have re-read the half page which good 
friend, Roy Hennessey, has devoted to Nigger Boy, for to him, should go 
the credit of first making this excellent variety available to American 
rosarians. 
Usually described as a "somewhat smaller Crimson Glory,” almost 
identical in form and color. Actually a hybrid tea, but Floribunda (sorry 
pardon me, Roy) I mean Polyantha, in its truly spectacular blooming habit. 
I will not deny anyone the privilege of trying just one but I agree with 
Hennessey, it should be judged only in mass planting.

NOCTURNE—"The Dinner-party Rose.” 
NOCTURNE. Patent 713. ARS 80%. Tall. 
“The dinner party rose.’’ This union of Charlotte Armstrong and the almost 
black ‘Night produced a very distinguished and beautifully formed fra- 
grant rose in rich, dark-red, which grows and blooms successfully any- 
where and under all weather conditions, including the coast districts. Won 
the All-America award in 1948. 3 for 5.25 each 2.00
