THE LAVENDER ROSE 

 THAT WILL NOT FADE! 



•LAVENDER GIRL. (Meilland.) 

 P.R.R. Here is the novelty Floribunda 

 of the Centuryl A real honest-to-good- 

 ness lavender Rose that has the unique 

 ability to hold its wonderful hue even 

 in the strong heat of summer! There's 

 nothing like it anywherel 



Lavender Girl in the bud is a variable 

 ruby-red, changing in the newly open 

 bloom to a most interesting rosy purple 

 which shows on the inside of the petals 

 with lovely magenta on the outer sur- 

 faces. The full bloom also distinguishes 

 this unique Rose. It is then that it 

 fulfills its lovely promise . . . achieving 

 a "dream world" lavender all its own 

 and keeping it throughout its life. 



The plant is low and bushy, growing 

 to 2 feet. Compact and substantial in 

 appearance, and with blooms up to 3J^ 

 inches across, it is a natural for the front 

 row. Bud and flower form are excellent, 

 the newly open bud being cup or urn- 

 shaped, becoming full and almost flat, 

 in a magnificent display. The stems are 

 long enough for cutting. Lavender Girl 

 reblooms well throughout the season, 

 each lovely flower having from 35 to 42 

 heavy-textured petals. All this and 

 subtle fragrance, too. 



Not everyone who wants this 

 amazing new Rose can have it this 

 year. The supply is limited and will 

 he sold on a "first come-first served" 

 basis. $5 ea.; 3, $4.25 ea.
