TALLYHO. Patent 828. ARS 83%. Tall. 
Everything about Tallyho is BIG—plant, bloom and reputation! The 
All-America winner of 1949, and that's "big’’ too. The color description 
bothers me—think I will steal from Roberta Lord (the other and better 
member of our catalog-writer’s club)—'ruddy-raspberry-rose, smoked 
hickory.” Now this is not exactly verbatim, of course, but anyway the 
emphasis is on the raspberry. 
I now turn over the problem to Mrs. Hortense Wild, whose many quotes 
in this catalog should merit our club membership—'"Tallyho is terrific .. . 
one near-sighted little lady asked if this was a peony—the tremendous blooms 
could give that impression.” 3 for 5.25 each 2.00 
THE DOCTOR. ARS 79%. Medium 
Roses come and some go, but this great clear-pink rose, The Doctor, goes 
right on delighting rosarians each year, on both sides of the Atlantic. 
Has everything except long cutting-stems—one of the most fragrant of all 
roses, one of the largest, exquisitely formed, delicately complexioned. 
With proper bud selection and the right understock, it is an excellent 
plant, ‘grown the California way.” (Will Delbert Thompson of Tyler, 
Texas, please note this ‘restrained modesty.’’) 
“Vl always remember the immense pink buds of The Doctor arranged with 
Chinese delphiniums in two shades of blue’—Lila McCombs, California. 
I think the following from the charming Mrs. C. M. K. of San Marino, 
California, will be enjoyed by both old and new catalog-readers— 
“Why did they have to name this utterly enchanting thing ‘The Doctor?’ To 
myself I’ve been calling it ‘Summertime’ because it makes me feel just as the Porgy 
and Bess song does, and because its perfection of beauty exemplifies the rarest days of 
summer ... you should see how lovely the great heart-shaped things look on a 
Chippendale table—it seems as tho eighteenth century mahogany had been waiting 
for them all these years. Perhaps, after all, "The Doctor’ is a good name for it... 
I don’t know any other psychiatrist that is yours for $1.50.” 
3 for 4.00 each 1.50 
“HON. SECRETARY” AND FRIEND. 
“The greatest ideal that man can aspire to is not to be a show-case of virtue, but 
just a genial, likable and reasonable human being.’—LiN YUTANG
