Grandifiora. A bold color and dashing manner inspired the 

 'l'/l/l//(/U name Comanche for this rose. Even one bush in bloom is a 

 (S^ striking picture. The color is a fiery red, and blooms come generally in 

 ^® clusters of 6 to 8 at the top of the sturdy canes. They are 3 to 4 inches 

 across, with about 50 petals, double and well shaped. Comanche's buds are 

 deep brick-red but as they open they seem to catch on fire. Flowers are a warm 

 orange-red, with a softer rosy red color on the outside of the petals. Leaves are 

 extra dark and thick, a beautiful reddish bronze in the young stage and becoming 

 more leathery as they develop. The plant is bushy and vigorous, up to 5 feet 

 tall, and it blooms time after time until frost. A handsome rose to plant now 

 and enjoy for years to come. Its color — like a splash of war paint — and its 

 sturdy, upright manner of growing will make a wonderful contribution to any 

 spot where it is planted. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2855.

Hybrid Tea. The name will tell you that this variety is re- 

 lated to the famous Peace rose. Although individual flowers 

 may not be quite so large as those of Peace, the plant is just as strong and the 

 foliage equally large and vigorous. In color it is a pleasing dusky pink — a glow- 

 ing, shimmering highlight in any garden. It is a strong color but never harsh 

 or overpowering. Buds are firm and pointed, and the big, fully double flower 

 has a high center surrounded by large, strong petals. Long lasting and with 

 heavy fragrance, Pink Peace is ideal for cutting. Stems are strong and generally 

 bear the flowers singly. The plant is very strong and bushy with large, rather 

 dark, abundant leaves. Give it plenty of room so that it can do its best. Superb 

 for garden decoration ... an excellent choice for the back row of a planting 

 because of its extra size and vigor. You can't help liking this truly fine Hybrid 

 Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1759.
