SUN VALLEY. Patent 1135. ARS 72%. 33 inches. 
New deep-yellow rose of excellent form and plant habit which is reported 
“fade-proof’’ in all climates. 
Richard Thomson of Wynnewood, Pa., in whose judgment (about roses) 
I have greatest confidence, reports to ARS as follows—"Finest yellow . . 
tremendous grower... color sun-fast . . . constant bloomer.” He might be 
exaggerating a bit in reporting growth "72 inches.”’ That's how they grow 
in California, Dick! 2.50 
SUSAN LOUISE. 4 - 5 feet. 
| This is the truly ever-blooming bush form of the beautiful climber, Belle 
| of Portugal, and in our opinion one of the most valuable and delightful roses 
in existence, regardless of color, form, or age. For the novice or the pro- 
' fessional, ai the beach or the desert, Susan Louise gives happily and 
| constantly. Buds are very long-pointed, deep pink, excellent for bouquets; 
_ the open flower is semi-double, flesh-pink, charming and graceful. Robust 
| grower to 5 feet or more and truly everblooming. This, friends, is a ROSE! 
“Susan Louise has the grace and regal beauty of a queen, yet the disposition of 
a saint.”—Mrs. Mildred Couden, Indianapolis. 
“Of Susan Louise, I’ll say little, simply because once started, 1-could never quit... 
this much and no more—she is one of my ten most beautiful flowers—an un- 
| surpassed darling ... Mr. Tillotson’s all-out vote for Susan Louise should assure 
| every customer that when he says ‘this is it, it really is”’—Sarah Lakey, Tulsa, 
| Oklahoma. (Mr. Tillotson” blushes with becoming modesty, secretly 
| deciding to re-check some of his other effusions, to be sure they are “‘it.”)

SUZON LOTTHE. Patent 934. ARS 70%. 34 inches. (Soo-zohn Loh-tay.) 
“The hand of Meilland has wrought another rose miracle here,’ says Hortense 
Wild. Ditto say we! Large, 60 petalled, high centered—pearl-pink, edged 
deeper, with a “new-dawn radiance’’—intense Damask fragrance. 
“Tt just isn’t possible for a rose in the pastel shades to be more beautiful! Last 
summer when nature emptied just about her whole bag of tricks—extreme heat, 
drought, torrential rains and insect pests, Suzon grew and flourished like the 
proverbial bay tree’—Mrs. R. M. Baker, Maplewood, La.

SYMPHONIE. Patent 958. ARS 73%. 31 inches. 
Francis Meilland’s blend of Peace, Signora and Mrs. John Laing, in suc- 
cessive crosses, has produced this new hybrid tea, which shows definitely 
the chief characteristics of each parent—the sturdy, big-caned plant of 
Peace, the lively color in undertone of Signora, and the hybrid perpetual- 
type, big cupped blooms of Mrs. John Laing. 
A deep rose-pink of varying shades, with carmine veining and softly 
rolled petals, fragrance of ripe peaches. 
Summer 1954. “Symphonie is a lovely thing. It lifts the spirit and ‘bids the 
heart sing.’ ” Marie Barnes, Tacoma, Wash. Sicro2o each 2.00 
“Why are there trees I never walk under but 
large and melodious thoughts descend upon me? 
I think they hang there winter and summer on 
those trees and always drop fruit as I pass.”
