FRED HOWARD. (Pat. No. 1006) AARS—1952. 
This glorious yellow rose was one of the last de- 
veloped by the late Fred Howard, and was named 
for him. Plants grow to 4 ft. high, rugged and 
bushy, with lustrous dark green foliage. Long yellow 
buds are pencilled pink at the tips; the large grace- 
ful blooms, with 50 to 60 petals, are deep golden 
yellow, darker at the center, and suffused with 
pink at the edges. Cool weather in fall intensifies 
the yellow tone. The rich coloring, and fragrance, 
lasting qualities and heavy long stems combine 
to make Fred Howard the ideal yellow rose for the 
aarden and cut flowers, from early spring to late 
fall. $2.50 (See page 8 for illustration in color.)
