OLIVE PERCIVAL. (Pat. No. 944) This Paul 
J. Howard rose belongs in every rose garden. We 
have had more words of praise from customers for 
Olive Percival than for any other rose in our list,— 
for its exquisite buds, lovely coral red color, and 
above all, for its strong healthy growth and great 
profusion of buds and blooms throughout the year. 
Olive Percival has lovely long slender buds of vivid 
cherry red, flushed gold at the base of petals. The 
graceful semi-double flowers, with thick heavy 
petals,, on long strong stems, open slowly and are 
long lasting, ideal for cutting. Olive Percival has 
the honor of having been chosen as the ‘National 
Teachers’ Rose’’ and was planted in the Rose Gar- 
den at the White House, in the spring of 1954.
