The Perfect Rose Garden For many years it has been our custom to select ten outstanding roses from our entire list and offer them as our now famous "Big 10." Each of the varieties in our Big 10 for 1952 is outstanding in its color class, and you will find every bush a typical Armstrong rose plant, husky and heavy-rooted. Not only does ordering the Big 10 eliminate guesswork in choosing kinds for a super rose garden, but you save substantially over ordering the same roses in- dividually. If you have room tor only five plants, you can not choose five better kinds than the Armstrong-originated varieties pictured on this page and offered as the 'All-Armstrong Five." Charlotte Armstrong glorious All-America Winner with its long tapering blood red and magnificent open flowers of cerise is the finest rose we grow. $2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.75 each. See page 8.
