Mirandy (Plant Patent No. 632) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
(Award All-America Selections, 1945.) The first place winner of the All- 
America Rose Competition for 1945. A gorgeous, fragrant, red Rose that 
takes its place with the finest red Roses of the world. The big, ovoid 
buds, often long-pointed, are deep, rich dark red with black shadings, 
opening to gorgeous chrysanthemum-red. The flower displays new beau- 
ties of form as the petals unfold and and eventually becomes a large 
full bloom, with excellent lasting qualities. 
Mme. Chiang Kai-shek (Plant Patent No. 664) 
Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
(Award All-America Rose Selections, 1943.) Perfectly chisled petals 
clasped in long, spiral buds unfurl slowly, culminating in limpid, light 
clear canary-yellow flowers of perfect proportions. The rich Rose per- 
fume of this premier yellow Rose is a fragrance retrieved from the past, 
recalling the fragrance that hung over China Tea Roses in old and 
forgotten gardens of long, long ago. 
Mojave (Plant Patent No. 1176) Each $2.75, Three $7.20, Doz. $28.80 
(All-America Award Winner for 1954.) Glowing radiant orange is the 
dominant color, highlighted by flame-like tones of scarlet and ver- 
milion. Next to color, the outstanding feature of Mojave is the amaz- 
ing number of long-stemmed buds it produces—beautiful tapering 
buds which open to big, pleasantly fragrant, richly colored flowers. The 
plant is tall, rather upright, and so vigorous and free-blooming that 
it is certain to please every grower whether it is in his fields or his 
garden. Everyone loves a winner, but this dashing All-America selection 
for 1954, with its bold coloring, has a lot more than just winning ways 
with which to capture the affections of every Rose buyer. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom Each $1.35, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.50 
Over the years gone by this Rose has performed beautifully. Yellow 
Roses are not plentiful and in our opinion this one is better than many 
other yellows of recent introduction. The flowers are many, of good 
form and rich golden yellow with somewhat deeper tones towards the 
ree It is a good grower and free bloomer with excellent foliage and 
abit. 
New Yorker (Plant Patent No. 823) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
The perfectly formed, high-centered blooms are scarlet with rose-red 
undertones and each petal is overlaid with a rich sheen of velvet. 
Plants bloom heavily in June with a breath-taking succession of flowers 
from then until cold weather. 
(Plant Patent No. 713) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
(All-America Selection for 1946.) This new red Rose has one of the 
longest, most perfect, streamlined buds displayed by any Rose of its 
color. The color is bright cardinal-red with dark, deep intriguing shad- 
ings of chrysanthemum-crimson. The large petals have good substance, 
are richly textured, and there are plenty of them so that the flower 
lasts a long time. In hot weather the color becomes somewhat lighter. 
The blooms of NOCTURNE are pleasantly fragrant, although not ap- 
proaching Mirandy in this respect. The stems are long, the foliage large, 
abundant and semi-glossy. 
Peace (Plant Patent No. 591) Each $2.50, Three $6.60, Doz. $26.40 
This Rose is almost unbelievable. One marvel of it is the dawnlike 
range of colors through which it passes, from opening yellow buds, each 
petal edged with pink that seems to deepen as the flower slowly opens. 
The shades of color vary, too, from flower to flower and through the 
changing seasons. Though the bloom is unusually large, long lasting 
and constantly fresh looking, its effect is always delicate and lovely. 
The individual petals are long and of great substance, gradually open- 
ing, a few at a time, around a high-pointed center, to a great, golden 
hearted, very double, fully open flower. The plant is as superior as the 
bloom, and in the same large-scale way. The flowers are borne singly on 
heavy stems so strong and straight. It needs no disbudding to produce 
exhibition blooms which hold their form and freshness longer than other 
Hybrid Teas. The flowers last a long time and they are produced all 
season in endless succession, through various stages of opening and 
changing colors: canary-yellow, pale gold, cream, ivory and alabaster; 
edged cerise, rose or apple-blossom-pink. M. Meilland, the hybridizer, 
has given the world many beautiful Roses, yet of this he says: “This is a 
rare discovery and only takes place once in the career of an originator.” 
Nocturne 
Show Girl (Plant Patent 646) Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
“The Rose with Magnificent Buds.’ If you want to enjoy the most 
beautiful, the most perfect, and the longest deep pink Rosebuds you 
can imagine, be sure to plant this variety. The sensational buds are 
deep pink, almost carmine in the spring, opening to a softer tone but 
always deep pink. We think it is one of the finest pink Roses of all 
for cutting because of the magnificence of the buds and the lasting 
quality of the flower with its big heavy textured petals. Tall, rather 
slender, with big heavy canes and plenty of lovely flowers borne on 
long, sturdy stems. 
Sleigh Bells (Plant Patent No. 1004) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
The large, ovoid buds are borne singly on exceedingly long stems, and 
are produced so freely that you can gather quantities for the table. 
The flowers open gradually into blooms of great size, with 40 or more 
petals of heavy substance, and are lovely in all stages. A trace of 
primrose at the base of the petals adds life to the flower. Unusual for 
white Roses, the stems are clothed with thick, leathery, glossy foliage 
that is exceptionally disease resistant. Best of all, this white Rose is 
really fragrant. Sleigh Bells is the better white Rose you have been 
looking for. 
Sutter’s Gold (Plant Patent No. 885) 
Each $2.25, Three $6.00, Doz. $24.00 
(Winner All-America Rose Selections, 1950.) The most outstanding 
feature of Sutter’s Gold is its beautiful, long, pointed, yellow bud richly 
shaded with coppery red. When fully open it is a superb yellow Rose 
with coppery veins through its flower petals. It is an unusually strong 
grower, free branching and exceedingly free blooming for a yellow 
Rose. The fragrance is excellent, foliage very good; all in all a fine 
addition to the selection of yellow Roses. 
Texas Centennial Each $1.35, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.50 
A sport of Pres. Hoover, having the same wonderful qualities. The 
color is blood-red to cerise-red in the center. 
Talisman Each $1.35, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.50 
Brilliant red and gold buds, opening to well shaped blooms of scarlet- 
orange and rich yellow. Constantly in bloom; the most vivid color yet 
produced in Roses. 
“Tom Breneman” (Plant Patent No. 986) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
“Tom Breneman” was originated by the late Fred Howard, America’s 
leading rosarian. From the time the bud unfurls until the last petals 
fall, you will find nothing flat or dull in this variety. The rugged plants 
give unstintingly throughout the entire season. The long coral-rose 
buds expand slowly into beautiful, long lasting blooms, during the 
height of the season, when the bushes are covered with their coral- 
rose buds and flowers. 
The Doctor Each $1.35, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.50 
This magnificent Howard & Smith Rose is internationally recognized as 
one of the outstanding new Roses. We regard this Rose as one of the 
best; a variety which will be greatly sought after when better known. 
The buds are long and pointed, expand to a simply enormous bloom in 
their fully developed state. The color is an exquisite silvery pink, uni- 
form in color both in bud and open flower, with a fragrance so intense 
that it can be detected many yards away. 
Tiffany (1955 All-America Award Winner) (Plant Patent No. 1304) 
Each $2.75, Three $7.20, Doz. $28.80 
Tiffany is a beautiful phlox-pink hybrid Tea Rose producing blooms of 
outstanding quality. The long pointed buds are deep pink with golden 
yellow shading at base of petals. The flower opens to perfectly formed, 
double, high centered blooms of a pleasing shade of pink with petals 
of heavy texture and exceptional lasting qualities, produced singly on 
long strong stems. This Rose is noted for its outstanding fragrance. 
The plant has an upright habit with very vigorous growth and beautiful 
dark green foliage. 
Will Rogers (Plant Patent No. 256) 
Each $1.50, Three $3.90, Doz. $15.60 
The color is black velvety crimson-maroon, which holds its color till the 
last petal falls. Its fragrance is so intense that a few will scent a room 
with ‘Attar of Roses’’ fragrance. Strong and vigorous grower with dark 
green foliage retained throughout the season. The blooms are quite 
double with a beautifully ruffled petal arrangement in the open flower. 
Marvelously free in bloom qualities, bearing lavish quantities of flowers 
from April to the advent of the following winter frosts. The Rose cut in 
early morning and placed in water will keep in fine condition for five 
or six days, and during this period dispels its most delightful fragrance.
