ORANGE FLAME 



NEW! 



H.T. (Marie Louise Meilland) Plant Pat. 2141. 

 I take pleasure in presenting this new rose to you — an 

 origination of the famous Meillands of France. I 

 recall talking with Madame Meilland about Orange 

 Flame and remember so well her own great enthusiasm 

 It is distinguished by unusual color and fine form. The 

 exceptional smoky orange-scarlet is brightly beautiful— the 

 pointed buds emerge to reveal the eye-filling size and high- 

 centered loveliness of the flower whose large petals curl out- 

 ward with consummate grace. Such blooms are yours to enjoy 

 to the full, for the plant gives them freely and steadily through- 

 out the summer and fall months. The bush, itself, contributes 

 to beauty, growing vigorously upright with many branches and 

 plenty of leathery, glossy, rich green foliage. Medium long 

 stems hold the individual flowers firmly, proudly upright. 

 There is a fragrance, too, which I can define only as being 

 pleasing in the tea-rose manner, and neither too strong nor 

 too light. Just plain nice to smell. Orange Flame grows to 

 middle height. Be sure to plant it where you can see it. Un- 

 fortunately, the illustration does not do it justice. $3 ea 

 3 or more, §2.65 ea. 



"I . . . commend you 

 . . . first for the nice 

 healthy plants, and 

 second for prompt de- 

 livery. I ordered roses 

 from four different 

 nurseries and none 

 have given me the sat- 

 isfaction you have." 

 R.H. (Alabama) 



"Of the more than 30 roses 

 we have bought from you, we 

 have always had splendid 

 success and beautiful roses." 

 T.B.B. (Pennsylvania) 



"... in my opinion, they 

 (your roses) are "TOPS". 

 Everything and more than 

 you claim." M.Q. (New 

 York)

GOLDEN r^lRI Grandiflora (Meilland) Plant Pat. 

 ^^^^^'^'^ VJII\fcr 1912. If I could mention but one 

 quahty of this rose it would be that it blooms— blooms— blooms- 

 all the time! Tremendously free-blooming! Other qualities — 

 and the list is long — make Golden Girl one of the most outstand- 

 ing yellow roses. This is the kind of clear yellow that's brilliant 

 in the sun and bright in the shade. Other valued qualities are 

 nicely shaped blooms and buds— tall, husky, well proportioned 

 bush — splendid vigor. The 4 to 4}'^-inch flowers come in glorious 

 clusters, and there is a breath of perfume where they are which 

 pleases you. Beautiful, of course, are the solid sunshine 

 blooms, each with 45 substantial petals. Needed in every 

 garden. §2.50 ea. ; 3 or more, §2.20 ea. 



THE HYBRID TEA is the most popular by far 

 of all kinds of roses. It is the largest and has 

 the most pleasing form. Its many petals curl 

 gracefully outward, and usually the bloom is 

 high-centered or cupped. This is the kind of 

 rose which is best suited for cutting, since 

 its tendency is to produce blooms on long, 

 strong stems. These often hold magnificent 

 individual blooms, and 

 sometimes two or three. 

 Plant Hybrid Teas in 

 beds, one or two plants 

 deep, or in rows. Plant 

 them, too, as specimen or 

 individual plants, if you 

 like. They look good any 

 way you plant them!
