THE FAMOUS The Perfect Rose Garden Each year we select 10 roses from our entire list—kinds which are outstanding for color, vigor, and general garden performance. We think the group selected for 1954 the finest ever and you will find every bush a typical Armstrong rose plant, husky and heavy-rooted. By starting your garden with the "Big 10" you can eliminate the guesswork involved in choosing varieties for a rose garden you'll be proud of, and that's not all—you save substantially over ordering the same varieties in- dividually, too. If you have room for only five plants, you could not choose five better kinds than the Armstrong-otiginated varieties pictured on this page and offered as "The Armstrong 5." Charlotte Armstrong This glorious All-America Winner, with its long tapering blood red buds and magnificent open flowers of cerise, is our finest rose. Known and loved from Maine to California. Plant Pat. No. 455. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. Helen Traubel 1952 All-America Winner. It is distinctive and lovely with its sparkling pink to luminous apricot color and the sheer perfection of the long, tapering buds and glorious open flowers. A big vigorous plant and a rich fragrance round out the picture. You can't help but like it. Plant Pat. No. 1028. $2.75 each; 3 or more, $2.40 each. Nocturne /^jggX All-Ametica Winner for 1948. With its long perfectly formed buds and fxsSii^i big velvety dark red flowers, this is one of the best red roses for all areas. ^A)jRS Plant Pat. No. 713. $2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.75 each.

No. 885. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. The Armstrong 5 If your space is too limited for 10 roses, here are five of the best roses you can plant.
