Dwarf Polyantha Rose 
Charlie Mc Carthy 
(Plant Patent Applied For) 
A Rare, White, Small Flowered Cluster Rose 
Charlie McCarthy is a lovely novelty in Roses. All 
of the lively qualities pertaining to Charlie are ex- 
emplified in the Rose. His scintillating wit is expressed 
in the foliage—fresh and sparkling. And like his 
steady stream of answers, the bushes are profuse with 
an unending show of flowers. 
Though the plants grow old, they never grow up— 
rarely exceeding 18 inches in height. The creamy 
white miniature buds expand into pure white flowers 
approximately an inch in diameter. 
The bushes are unique and novel in form, being 
globular or rounded like a freshly clipped Boxwood. 
The luxuriant foliage, so bright that it has the ap- 
pearance of having been shellacked or polished, lends 
to the plants a snappy, tailored effect that is seen in 
no other Rose. 
From spring until fall, all through the season, the 
plants are literally smothered in a glistening white 
snowbank of Roses. Like its namesake, the new Rose 
Charlie McCarthy, immaculately dressed, can always 
be depended upon for a top-flight performance. 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
Grandiflora Rose, 
Queen Elizabeth, 
All-America 
Award Winner 
for 1955.

Grandiflora Rose 
Grandiflora Rose means that it is neither a Hybrid Tea Rose nor a 
Floribunda Rose but rather a combination of the two. ‘‘Queen Eliza- 
beth” is the first offering of this type. Many medium sized Hybrid 
Tea Roses on one stem, too large to be called Floribunda Roses. 
Oucen Elizabeth 
Plant Patent No. 1259 
That delicate pure pink shade, found only in the choicest Cattleya 
Orchids, has at last been reproduced in the new ‘“‘Queen Elizabeth’’ 
Rose. All-America Winner for 1955. 
A lovely new color and new type as well, for this charming new 
ruler of rosedom is the first of a new class of ‘‘Grandiflora’’ Roses. 
The unusually clear, glowing blooms of Queen Elizabeth are a 
blending of soft carmine-rose and dawn-pink set off by deep green 
foliage. Its exceptional vigor insures a healthier, more luxuriant 
blooming all season long. 
Queen Elizabeth flowers are borne on long, almost thornless stems 
and because one of the parents is a Floribunda (Floradora) and the 
other a Hybrid Tea (Charlotte Armstrong) the blooms are carried 
both singly and in clusters. 
Each $3.00, Three $7.95, Dozen $31.80
