From Charlotte Armstrong it inherits long-pointed exquisite- ly shaped buds. But the color is new—bright yellow richly shaded with orange and red. The big, high-centered, golden yellow flowers have a tea fragrance richer than that of any other yellow rose. True, the flowers open a bit quickly in adverse weather, but the plant is so free blooming that there are always plenty more to cut. Few roses can boast a plant so strong and vigorous. It is tall and upright and always cov- ered with an abundance of large glossy leaves, which are highly resistant to foliage trouble. Originated in the Arm- strong Nurseries by H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. No. 885. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. First Love—always plenty of long-lasting buds and flowers like these for cutting Sutter's Gold-the first American rose to win top national and international awards First Love The Loveliest Buds in Rosedom If you want (and who doesn't) to cut bouquets of exquisitely graceful and distinctive long, tapering buds in a delightful shade of pale dawn pink, then this is sure to be the "first love" in your garden. In certain weathers, the delicate color is tinted with lovely pastel shades of salmon, orchid and rose, but they always retain their perfect form. The flowers have a mild pleasant fragrance and the crisp, gracefully pointed petals (about 25) open very slowly. They last exceptionally well and the color remains attractive to the finish. The plant is a vigorous one, fairly upright in habit, and nearly every perfect bud and flower is borne singly on a long, straight stem, ideal for cutting. Free-branching and free-blooming, it is easy to grow, but your biggest delight will be in cutting and arranging the exquisite buds. Originated at the Armstrong Nurseries by H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. No. 921. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. Prices shown are tor bare root roses and do not apply on blooming plants in containers. Blooming Roses in Containers Throughout the late spring, summer, and fall, many of the outstanding roses described in this catalog may be J- had growing and blooming in 5-gallon containers for im- m mediate planting. The prices are somewhat increased over the prices for the bare root plants listed in this catalog. The plants in containers are too heavy and bulky to ship but you can get them at any one of our six salesyards.
