COMANCHE 



Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pal. 2855. 



An excellent All-America Award winning rose 

 /^^ \\\i\\ a great deal to offer. Even one bush in bloom is a 

 ^^' striking spectacle, for the color is a really smashing, fiery red 

 . . . compelling and unforgettable. The ovoid buds are dull red 

 when tight but as they unfurl they seem to catch on fire. The face 

 of the open flo\\er is orange-red and the reverse a more rosy red. 

 The well-shaped blooms are 4 inches across and more — not enor- 

 mous, but striking nevertheless — with about 50 petals. They are 

 generally carried in a cluster of 6 to 8 as the crowning glory of the 

 great canes rising from the ground. Foliage is exceptionally dark 

 and thick, a beautiful reddish bronze in the young stage. The 

 large leaves become more leathery in texture as they develop. 

 The plant is tall (to 5 feet), bushy and vigorous, and it blooms 

 steadily all season. Bold and sassy Comanche is an exciting rose 

 ready to grow anywhere.

STARBURST 



NEW. Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) 

 iN(/ / //ff /-U Plant Pat. App. For. Just to look at this exuberant 

 rose is enough to lift your spirits. It fairly bursts with life and 

 gaiety. This is a true bicolor. Buds are yellow at the base, blend- 

 ing into soft orange-yellow at the edge. On the inner surface the 

 color is bright orange-red with pale yellow at the base. Buds are 

 of short pointed form, nicely furled when opening. They have 35 

 petals arranged into a ruffled cup form as the bloom reaches its 

 full size. An individual flower is of medium size and maximum 

 brightness, and a cluster is a gay bouquet in itself. Good stems 

 bear the blooms in clusters and also singly, in true Grandiflora 

 style. Fine as cut flowers and particularly lovely at the half-open 

 stage when the orange-carmine color on the inside of the petals 

 is first revealed. Fragrance is light and pleasant. The bronzy to 

 medium green leaves have a special gloss. They stand out well 

 from the vigorous canes and provide a thick covering for the bushy 

 plant. Starburst is of medium height and will fit easily into any 

 planting scheme. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea.
