CLIMBING PINKIE—Bloom Phenomenal! 
CLIMBING PINKIE. Patent 1076. ARS 86%. 8 feet. 
To us, Pinkie’s special feature is the constantly repeating cluster bloom 
which starts at the base and is a veritable curtain of soft pink. Considered 
a pillar rose, but won't be miffed if you sidle it up to a fence, or just let it 
fountain without support as perhaps nature intended. 
July 1954. Our plants in the field are blooming like mad, from base to 
tip, and throwing long canes at the same time—phenomenal! Fully justi- 
ties our strongest endorsement. If you are not pleased with Ch. Pinkie, 
you are hopeless. 3 for 7.25 eachva 
PEACE. Patent 591. (Meilland) ARS 94%. Tall. 
So much has been written about this masterpiece, the humble catalog- 
writer finds it difficult to say much more than a fervent amen! . 
I had the pleasure of inspecting some of the many seedlings of this now 
famous parent with Mons. Meilland in the test plot of Conard-Pyle Com- 
pany at West Grove, Pennsylvania. Had I lacked faith in the beauty and 
quality of his many creations, Meilland’s quick and sure judgement,— 
damning and approving with equal candor, would have dispelled any 
doubt. . 
Peace shares with Crimson Glory the world’s top ratings in roses. Some 
call it the “founder of a new race.” To me, the huge yellow blooms open | 
to greatest perfection indoors but if you like the magenta edgings on the 
petals, the sun will quickly oblige you. 
It has only one serious fault—it isn't red. 3 for 6.60 each 2.50
