THE 1953 WINNER! 
(Left) Like a precious : Vee 
Chrysler stone, Chrysler Imperial ENUM 
Imperial Rose displays jewel-like tones 
of vivid crimson in the broad, open petals, heightened by dark 
ha overtones of glowing oxblood-red, with the gem-like luster 
ARES of garnet in the folds. These tones retain their sparkling beauty 
throughout the life of the flowers. Evolving from long, taper- 
ing, velvety maroon-red buds, this lovely Rose, like the facets 
of a diamond, changes with the play of light; as 1t opens to its 
full 41% to 5-in. size, the iridescent shades of red become more 
brilliant. The abundant, very large, high-centered blooms are 
borne singly on perfect, sturdy, medium-long cutting 
stems. The beautifully formed flowers have 40 to 50 
wide petals, symmetrically arranged and overlapping. 
This All-America Selections Winner for 1953 has a 
well-balanced, compact bush with abundant dark green 
foliage. Chrysler Imperial is a monochromatic Rose of 
dark, dramatic beauty. Plant it this spring and 
enjoy it for years to come. Blooming contin- 
uously from spring to fall, Chrysler Imperial 
will present you with some of the loveliest and 
most fragrant blooms in your whole garden. 
It has been increasing in popularity ever since 
we first offered it to the public and has received 
praise throughout the country. (PI. Pat. #1167.)
