Fred Howard 
red Sata (Plant Patent No. 1006) 
The blood and breeding that makes champions is well depicted in the 
large, vigorous plant that attains a height of from 3 to 4 feet. This attribute 
is also exemplified in the lustrous green foliage and the long flower stems, 
strong and resilient, bearing lovely fifty-petaled yellow Roses, with all 
buds and flower heads up. During the latter months of the year there is 
a very noticeable transition in the color of the Fred Howard Rose. The 
yellow is washed with a lovely overtone of burnished gold and copper. 
The Fred Howard Rose has a distinct fragrance that can be likened to the 
Marechal Niel or the old Tea Roses that were so lovely many years ago. 
Above all, the 1952 champion Rose is unstinting with flowers. Immediately 
after one crop of Roses is over, another takes its place. 
Each $2.50, Three $6.60, Doz. $26.40 
Golden Anniversary (Plant Patent No. 806) 
Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
It took an outstanding Rose to carry that significant name, but this 
is an outstanding Rose! It is a sport of Good News with flowers as 
handsomely formed but a fine old-gold color, flushed apricot at times. 
Best of all, it is a golden Rose on a truly vigorous, well 
branched plant with dense foliage right down to the ground. 
Heart’s Desire (Plant Patent No. 501) 
Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
First place winner of the All-America Rose Competition for 
1941. A strong grower, owing to its parentage which is the 
well known never failing Radiance. Buds are ovoid, sometimes 
long and pointed, are deep red with dark crimson shadings. 
Foliage is rich green and growing habit is luxuriant. Flowers 
freely produced throughout the entire season are delightfully 
fragrant. 
Hedda Hopper (Plant Patent No. 1047) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
A rare combination of delicacy and sturdiness is the Rose ‘‘Hedda 
Hopper.”’ The delicate pink of the flowers in all stages of opening is 
unusual in itself but together with such a sweet perfume it is rare 
indeed. The buds of ‘‘Hedda Hopper’’ slowly open to a full centered, 
well formed, long lasting flower. Undulations of the petals add a 
unique feature, while the characteristics of retaining its form until 
the petals drop will continually amaze the proud growers of this new 
Rose.

if op (Plant Patent No. 525) 
Hill Top is one of the latest introductions of Hill’s, one of their best. 
The handsomely moulded flowers have loosely outward rolled petals quite 
pointed, creating the effect so sought in Roses. The color at opening is a 
deep capucine-buff and remains that shade in the center of the flower 
while the outer edges of the flower petals turn a pale pinkish buff. Hill 
Top is a very free blooming variety and a clean, strong grower. As you 
know, it is one of the favorite cut flower Roses and soon will be a garden 
favorite because of its color as well as a clean, strong habit. 
Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60
